Johan Pilestedt, CEO of the Arrowhead Game Studios development team, announced that Helldivers 2 has broken the barrier of 360,000 concurrent players on PC and PlayStation 5. Based on the game’s numbers on the Steam store, it appears that the number of concurrent players on PlayStation 5 has broken the 200,000 player barrier.
Pilestedt pointed out the strong demand enjoyed by the game, as the server capacity was increased from 10,000 to 20,000 logins, while the capacity of concurrent players was increased from 250,000 to 360,000 players, but that was not enough, as the game broke the barrier of 360,000 players. Within 5 and a half minutes of raising that ability! There is no doubt that the development team is happy with this success despite the difficulties posed by such demand for the game.
