According to Gaming Bolt , after becoming PlayStation Studios' most successful launch title on the Steam game distribution platform, the co-op shooter Helldivers 2 has achieved a coveted number of concurrent players since its launch.
Just one day after nearly hitting 200,000, developer Arrowhead Game Studios’ Helldivers 2 has officially surpassed this important milestone. At around 2 p.m. on February 14, the number of concurrent players reached a peak of 203,644 gamers, according to statistics from SteamDB.
Helldivers 2 hits 200,000 concurrent players milestone
The co-op online shooter launched on February 8 on PlayStation 5 and PC, and has since quickly sold around 1 million copies. Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt said the sales far exceeded the company’s expectations. The total number of concurrent players on both platforms has surpassed 360,000, and that number is likely to continue to grow.
However, the sheer volume of players has caused some server issues, with many having trouble claiming rewards and logging in. Arrowhead is working to fix the issue, but Quickplay is currently down and joining another player's lobby requires multiple retries.
In the future, Helldivers 2 will receive updates with new content such as objectives, biomes, enemies, and free story updates, but the detailed roadmap has not been revealed yet.
