After weeks of difficulties amid its explosive surge in popularity, Helldivers 2 has finally expanded its server capacity to let more Democracy defenders join the fight.
Helldivers 2 players rejoice. Server capacity has finally been expanded a full fortnight after the game’s release, allowing more players online than ever before.
The Arrowhead CEO himself confirmed the welcome news on February 22, outlining how after days of struggles, devs have “increased the server [capacity]” for Helldivers 2. “Everyone should be able to get past the login screen now,” he assured.
However, despite appearing on the right track, and seemingly upping the cap from the previous 450,000 concurrent player allowance, Pilestedt confirmed a new, higher cap is still in place.
“Just to be clear – I mean for now. If everyone logs in we will still hit the cap!” So while server capacity has expanded, with the game’s staggering player count still rising, you may still encounter issues if everyone hops on at the same time.
And just to be clear – I mean FOR NOW, if everyone logs in we will still hit the cap! 😭🫣 https://t.co/3QqaaIEo37
