Sequel to the series made by Arrowhead Game Studios Helldivers 2, was released last February 8. Helldivers 2 surpassed God of War to become the biggest PlayStation Studios game released on Steam.
But it already looks like a certified hit, at least on PC. According to SteamDB data, Helldivers 2 reached 81,840 concurrent players worldwide yesterday, shortly after launch.
Despite the Problems, the Record was Broken
With 81,840 concurrent players, Helldivers 2 surpassed God of War to become the biggest Steam launch ever for a game from PlayStation Studios.
The previous holder of this title was Sony Santa Monica’s God of War, which was not released simultaneously on PC and PlayStation consoles but still reached 73,529 concurrent players at launch, according to SteamDB.
Helldivers 2’s peak player count could be even higher than that, given the issues it encountered at launch yesterday. Arrowhead Game Studios’ CEO said the developer was in “crisis mode” trying to fix matchmaking and server issues, and even took the servers completely offline at one point to fix things.
It looks like things are back under control for the Helldivers 2 servers, at least judging by what’s being said online. Now that all the issues with yesterday’s launch have finally been resolved, perhaps more players can get into the new shooter this weekend.
The 10 Best Games on Playstation Plus
Playstation Plus is available in our country and many other places. This system, which is a service similar to Xbox Game Pass, was generally welcomed by players.
It probably helps that Helldivers 2 isn’t selling at a premium price. All pricing for the game is 35 dollars. Finally, let us also point out that Helldivers 2 is sold in our country with the PS5 version priced at 999.99 TL and the Steam version priced at approximately 1,228 TL.
