Arrowhead Says Upgraded Servers Handled Players "Without Issues"
Helldivers 2 NEW Update and Developer Announcement! Here we go again!
It took a good two weeks and some sleep loss, but Helldivers 2, the fantastic co-op shooter from PlayStation and Sweden's Arrowhead Game Studio, is now actually working. Which is to say, the game went through peak season in its third weekend with minimal login issues, and with the majority of players able to get online and work together to save managed democracy and eliminate one bug (or bot) at a time.
That's according to Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt (and also according to Polygon's own anecdotal experience — we had no problem playing over the weekend).
"I'm really happy and proud of the Arrowhead team for an amazing performance, the servers handled all Helldivers 2 players this weekend without a problem," Pilestedt wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday morning. "Now we have time to focus on improvements to the title and resume our original plan. Lots of exciting things in the works!"
