The stormy weeks when players had big problems joining games are behind us, at least that’s what studio Arrowhead says. According to them, capacity problems in the servers of Helldivers 2 They are already a thing of the past. Having overcome that problem, they will focus on creating new content for this popular game.
Johan Pilestedt – director at Arrowhead Studios – expressed last Monday, February 25 through his Twitter account I was pleased with the way the servers handled the number of players over the weekend. He then talked about continuing to work on improvements and the original game plan.
«I am really happy and proud of the Arrowhead team for an incredible achievement. The servers handled all the players Helldivers 2 this weekend without problems.
We now have time to focus on improvements to the title and continue with our original plan. Lots of exciting things coming!
Piledstedt is referring to the increase they made to the limit of players allowed on the servers, which was increased to 800,000 last Thursday (the previous week it had been increased to 700,000). That seemed to be the magic number needed to hold up the bulk of the community.
According to SteamDB, Helldivers 2 It reached a peak of almost 460,000 players on Steam on Saturday the 24th. To this we must add the players who accessed the game on the PS5 console, whose numbers are not revealed.
It’s true that we haven’t seen many reports of game crashes and problems joining game sessions in recent days. Although there were some, it is possible that these were not due to the capacity of the servers or were within the tolerable range for the study.
We don’t know what the new content will be for Helldivers 2
It is ironic that this news comes at the same time that PlayStation announced a large number of layoffs at its studios.
