"Helldivers 2 Raises Player Cap to 450,000 for Improved Server Stability"

Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios has temporarily capped concurrent players to around 450,000 to address server stability issues following the game's immensely successful launch, which saw it surpass the all-time Steam concurrent record of Grand Theft Auto V. The team is working to resolve progression-related problems and is urging players to restart the game to sync progress. Despite the challenges, Helldivers 2 has become the top game in the U.S. and continues to attract a large player base.
