"Helldivers 2 Devs Address Launch Woes and Mixed Reviews on Steam"

Helldivers 2 has achieved strong sales and player numbers on Steam, but has received a "mixed" rating due to various launch-day problems including crashes, server issues, and concerns about PC optimization and monetization. Developer Arrowhead Game Studios has acknowledged the issues and is working on fixes, with game director Mikael Eriksson assuring players that improvements to matchmaking and crashes are on the way, with a hotfix patch currently in development.
