"Helldivers 2 CEO Addresses Server Woes and Player Cap Ahead of Busy Weekend"

Ahead of an anticipated busy weekend, the co-op shooter Helldivers 2 has increased its server capacity to 700,000 concurrent players with a recent patch, aiming to reduce wait times and loading screen issues. Despite concerns that this may still not be sufficient, the developers are working on final improvements to accommodate the expected surge in player numbers. The update also includes measures to remove idle players from the queue, resulting in improved accessibility to the game.
