Helldivers 2 is off to a strong start following its launch on PC and PlayStation 5, but the game’s popularity is also causing a variety of issues that has Swedish developer Arrowhead Game Studios in “crisis mode.”
The good news is a fix addressing the most serious of the issues seems to be on its way. Helldivers 2 game director Mikael Eriksson said in a statement on X (formerly Twitter) that a patch improving matchmaking and the “most frequent” crashing issues on PC is being tested, and if successful, will soon be rolled out as a hotfix to PC players on Steam before coming to PS5.
