#helldivers2 Victim of its own success
Devs of runaway hit Helldivers 2 have capped concurrent players after the game’s success melted servers.
The bug-killing shooter has already passed the all-time concurrents of Starfield and Destiny 2.
Steam records show Helldivers 2 peaked at 388 thousand players on the weekend.
The total number of players is higher because it’s a Playstation and PC game, and Steam only reports the PC numbers. The total is now capped at 450 thousand.
People are saying Helldivers 2 is super fun and good value – no microtransactions and just $40. It still has a ways to go before it challenges Steam’s most popular games of all time, however – Palworld is already over 2 million concurrents, and it would need more than 3 million to beat the GOAT – PUBG.

Its fkn awesome
The devs will just alter % progress and outcomes to suit their purposes and content release etc. You’re affecting nothing.
Yea except it’s straight up malware
My super citizen looking ass can’t play the game but I will encourage those who can to fight for democracy
You can farm out the credits in the store by just exploring the map. To me that is a win. I have enough credits to buy out the store for the next 3 weeks…
Pwlworld died off fast af tho
There are micro transactions. It’s a fantastic game though. There are some awesome inspiring moments where you kill 30 bugs on a single lucky airstrike and heart thumping fights for survival. If you manage to escape the blood bath and bring you team back you feel like a badass clutch master.
Tbf now the devs of palworld are fr menaces for the fact they plan to let players diddle their Pokémon
100% has micro transactions. Love the game I’ve been playing it non stop but just saying
It beat starfield? So… it’s better than an incomplete game… cool?
they just fixed the servers today guys!
love how you can earn credits from playing the game not just spending money
In the grimdark of the far future there is only war
Been prayin on destiny and starfields down fall! For democracy!
Shit is really good for a game when the servers consistently hit hard cap. They really need to get more server space instead of just optimizing
Im sorry but i played pal world for a week and was bored, to me helldivers 2 is just phenominal and uts not just the gameplay that sells it for me
There are micro transactions
So what you’re saying is hell divers needs to have 5 million as it’s server capacity. And allow Xbox players In on the fun, this much FREEDOM shouldn’t have walls between consoles.
Bruh, imagine being so popular that the servers crash from all the traffic lmao, they should make a reference to that in the game at some point
Lmfao the game just came out. comparing it to games of been out for almost 10 years like destiny
All my friends are playing this game. Damn! Got to pick it up
Need this thing on Xbox too
Damn, it’s almost like making a good game is what people want
But it does have micro transactions
Bruh they put out a tiny update last night when me and the homies were calling in evac 😭 we had hella strategem 😭 one homie got booted and the evac got stuck in the sky 🗿
How many star field players are there? Like a 1000? Maybe?
What I love is the premium BP can be gotten for free since u can find the In game currency
For democracy
PUBG isn’t even that good.
Palworld is for pokemon fetishists.
Still buying it. The first one was great.
MY LIFE FOR SUPER EARTH!
XBOX LAUNCH ALREADY
3 Million Helldivers…
Sounds like a dream. Keep fighting Helldivers! We have to hold the line until more reinforcements arrive!
Keep up the good fight brothers! I pray we Xbox players may join you on the field of battle!
🫡🫡🫡
I am still SHOCKED people still actively play pubg
I’ve been hearing “SWEET LIBERTY, MY LEG!” In my dreams and Im not complaining 😂
They even put a free battle pass and a premium battle pass which you can get if you save up 1000 super creds from the free one, now this is democracy!
MAKE AN OFFLINE AND LAN MODE PLEAAAAASE…..DAAAAAMMMNNNN
Just waiting for it to hit xbox it will blow up even more really cant wait
Helldivers 2 is like Deep Rock Galactic and Starship Troopers made a love child. It’s the best parts of these games consolidated into one.
Join the helldivers. For liberty lol
Update we JUST got is an absolute menace, its putting out work. Go login and show the power of liberty and democracy!
There are micro transactions but you don’t need it at all. And you can even find the currency in game for a couple of buys. The armor is cosmetic as it has the same Stats and effects as default / medal versions. I love this.
Honestly not surprised about Destiny 2, even the diehard fans are leaving that dying husk in the past.
I wanna buy the game but don’t wanna sit in a que
Please up the servers so that I can put down Destiny 2 forever 🙏
I dont think Destiny 2 can be used as “high” number playerbase with all the stupid stuff Bungie management staff is doing to the game
Its a temporary cap
Well. You can buy premium currency so it exists but you will earn quite alot from just playing
Suffering from success
LET US PLAY! he says in Xbox
Whoa, who would’ve guessed all you had to do was make a good game
There’s about 200 super credits (cash) in each map in the point of interest locations.
Didn’t stop 550K of us from getting in last night 💪🏻
No microtransactions is just a lie, it is a live service after all, great game still though
Thinking this game did better than destiny is such a joke. Maybe use real facts instead of your hand picked garbage statistics that mean nothing when you don’t use all sources available
I want this on Xbox SO bad! 😢
Why would you play this game then destiny exists
The fact that during the week is got to like 430k concurrent players is crazy
There are microttransactions but you can earn sc in game – we got 40 in one match
The Jeb?
There are microtransactions but the game is so good you can farm the currency that it gives you and its pretty generous with it. And it already has passed cod and fortnite on playstation.
You coulda got a like. But then you metioned pal world again 😢
I tried to log in for 4 hours last night
There are micro transactions. It’s just not in your face and it’s 100% optional. Plus they come with hilarious reviews per item in the shop. Idc if it’s staged / scripted some of those have me rolling.
Crazy how pubg has had so much success and not a single company has tried to make a better version. Cod doesn’t count nothing like pub.
Pubg isn’t dead 0_o !?
Um there are microtransactions though. They’re just not egregious like other games. And you can unlock premium currency by simply playing the game. The super credits are available as warbond unlocks and can also be found in just about every mission and in many of those missions can be found in multiple locations
Servers definitely need tweaking I can’t get in with full it is
If any1 here is on playstation and u cant get in because of the server being full quit to home screen then join a friend it will stop loading then load again u should get in.
It has transactions
No micro-transactions?
So whoever made this video has not played the game at all lmao bc It definitely has micro-transactions
Of only i could actually get in and play it….
That’s not true anymore I counted 540,000 people playing last night on the galactic map
Think imma hop on right now
All incorrect
It literality has a micro transaction store and a premium battle pass so this is a bit misleading.
Except it’s done so extremely well that you don’t care whatsoever. It’s optional, off to the side, and super affordable. As these things should be
It’s not a hit.
Yeah that’s after they had to double the limit of servers. The devs are quite literally suffering from success
I saw 440k players today
Woah woah woah, it HAS micro transactions, they’re just crazy reasonable and not spammed in your face like every other live service trash these days.
Failing frkm success. LOL
That sucks it’s not on Xbox. wtf
I hope the Devs add more servers. The ceo even was cool enough to say to save your money until they add more servers.
Eh, nice numbers when its only on 2 platforms
In all honesty and seriousness though, its impressive to see
I mainly play on Xbox cuz i got more friends on Xbox but I also play Playstation (specifically 4 cuz 5 has no games im interested in), PC (sort of) and the Switch
I couldn’t care less about console wars and personally I think exclusivity is fucking dumb
I’m happy this game is doing as well as it is
Would of been more players but servers were caped out xD
You know what wouldve been an easy fix? An offline mode
There are microtransactions. Just not horribly obnoxious ones. It’s a bit sad that if you don’t have the digital deluxe version, a whole section of the requisitions store is locked, and you can’t play the damn mini game. I’d rather they gave digital deluxe players an extra gun and an extra set of armor than lock a whole store behind a pay wall. But thats a minor issue at worst
I was playing last night & I was enjoying it. Not bad.
Well, it seems like a good game but let’s be careful with wording. There ARE microtransactions the difference is they are actually micro. Not $60 per skin.
PUBG dont count. Its practically all of China just playing it.
450,000+ steam players now lol
I really hope this game keeps going for a long time and the devs use the proceeds to keep adding stuff and improvement
Today 2/21/24 on a Wednesday, this game had 450 thousand people alone on Steam. Pretty insane for a week day
I’d sure as hell rather play helldivers than fucking palworld
Yep can’t even get in at the moment full servers
The game looks fun to
We are losing the Automatons front, we need the Xbox reinforcements. We need more servers.
FOR DEMOCRACYYY!
I wish this would of made it over to xbox
Nope now over 440k on pc
It does have microtransactions but theyre not very impactful
Dude if they add this to xbox it would be crazy!!!
I’ve been sitting in the server at capacity error message for 45 minutes
wtf are you talking about no micro transactions… the game 100% has micro transactions and is arguably the most pay to win live service game out right now
lol it absolutely does have micro transactions. Why lie?
more MORE
Servers are crumpling under the pressure. Devs are working on it, fortunately, and I’m being patient.
If you’re one of those people sitting afk in the server i will only say this politely one time. Stop please.
Buy a couple super credits or get the super citizen edition because this is how all games should be developed really show other game developers what we want
You can unlock the battle pass stuff with medals you get by just playing missions but I still buy in game money that you can also find in missions just to support the developers
It does have micro transactions
there are literally microtransactions lmao but they’re reasonably priced enough and not forced down your throat
Oh no skull and bones is not on steam… so anyway where are we diving boys 😂
Wish it would come out on Xbox, cus I want to play this game bad
I want to play so bad! But I’m not gonna buy until the servers are ready
Remember everybody, if you have friends online they can invite you or you can join them through steam and that will get you through the que
I would have lived in peace, but my enemies brought me war
All time concurents don’t mean shit.
“No microtransactions”
Not only that. It still needs to beat counterstrike
There are micro transactions but it’s completely optional, if you explore around you end up getting a lot for free
Bro they put in a free battle pass just to piss off other game devs absolute legends
Fucking love this game, it definitely needs more servers to get more people playing but that being said it’s not heavy on microtransactions since you can earn the premium currency in game extremely easily, unlock customizations without paying, and it’s actually fun
490k on steam now.
I WWWWHHHHÆÆÆA4ÄÆÆÆÅÃÂÁÄĀÀĄÃ TTTTTTTT THIIIISSS
There are mincro transactions but its within reason, the matchmaking is hit or miss, but the game just gets better the harder yhe settings
Ya but I got bored of palworld already this as more bang for buck
It’s a great game, but the servers are shit half my time on the game is looking at the error message
You should have compared it to an actual good game
Im so glad that the micro transactions section is not ALL UP IN YOUR FACE BUY ME, SPEND SPEND SPEND. Just play the game and enjoy the fun.
So you are telling me one of trh most popular games od all time is palworld? Im sorry but i consider myself a gamer and ive never even geard of it i cant veleiev it rivals pubG. I mustve been living under a rock
they need to recap it way higher before the game dies due to people saving their spot and no one being able to play
I mean. Helldivers did fantastic considering they didnt get a free pass like palword beeing pokemon with guns.
FOOR SUPEERRRR EEEEAAAAARTH!!!!
YEAH EXCEPT THE GAME ALWAYS CRASHES AND I CAN NEVER PLAY IT
Yeah but you got losers who stay logged in 24/7 so they never lose their spot in the server and mostly a lot of people have to suffer from these assholes
There are definitely microtransaction
If it gets on xbox get my money
peeps still play pubg?
Yeah I won’t give excuses to game devs anymore, everyone is searching from game to game to find something good to cling onto its nobody’s fault but the devs if palworld and helldivers flounder
It totally has micro transactions
I wish it was on xbox it looks so fun
It’s capped at 450k so you have to wait forever to get in.
I’ve been stuck trying to get in for the last 3 hours😂
“Sweet liberty” 😫
