Helldivers 2: A New Record in the Gaming World

Helldivers 2, distributed by Sony and continuing to grow since its release, has achieved a significant success in the gaming world. Hosting between 100,000 and 200,000 concurrent players at the time of its release, Helldivers 2 reached 1 million sales in its first week. These sales cover both computer and PlayStation 5 platforms.

Guinness Book of Records: A New Entry, Helldivers 2

Helldivers 2, surpassing the number of 100,000 to 200,000 concurrent players, left behind productions such as Starfield and Destiny 2 in terms of concurrent player count. In fact, the game had more concurrent players at its 24-hour peak than GTA 5. Peaking on Steam with 333,827 concurrent players, Helldivers 2 surpassed the previous record holder, God of War. The number this game reached even exceeded the total statistics of Sony games on PC.

Server Issues Despite Success

However, everything is not going smoothly. The game is facing server problems. To overcome this problem, Arrowhead has limited the total number of people on the server to 450,000 players. This announcement was made from the game’s official Discord server, which was temporarily closed earlier.

Player Reaction and Discord Server

The Discord server of Helldivers 2 was temporarily closed due to players criticizing the servers. Players expressed their reactions on various platforms, including Discord, due to server problems and difficulties in finding matches. This did not stop the reaction of the gamers, and players filled the title of the production on Reddit.
