Helldivers 2 has overtaken God of War to become the biggest PlayStation Studios game launch on Steam.
Arrowhead Studios’ co-op sci-fi shooter, Helldivers 2, kicked off Sony’s first State of Play of 2024 with a brand new trailer and that trailer had one big surprise at the end of it: the return of pilotable mechs.
Arrowhead Game Studios is recapping the Helldivers series story so far with a new video in the form of an amusing recruitment ad.
Helldivers 2 has been receiving mixed reviews on Steam, despite sales getting off to a strong start.
Helldivers 2 has started well on Steam, with a concurrent player record higher than any previous PC port of a PlayStation Studios game.
UPDATE 9/2/24: Helldivers developer Arrowhead Game Studios has pushed out a «rapid patch» on Steam to sort some of its issues.
Swedish developer Arrowhead Game Studios (Magicka) has released the third-person shooter game Helldivers 2 on PlayStation 5 and PC, immediately achieving strong results on the latter platform. According to Steam data, Helldivers 2 peaked at 81K concurrent players around five hours ago, surpassing God of War's previous record of 73K for a PlayStation launch.
Helldivers 2 launched on Steam today and unfortunately seems to have got off to a bit of a shaky start network-wise: the reviews are currently «mixed,» and the mood music is that people are enjoying the game but deeply frustrated by connection issues. The studio admits it's in «crisis mode» and at the time of writing has just pushed out the first hotfix.
