Helldivers 2\u2019s viral success shatters GTA 5\u2019s all-time player record Arrowhead Game StudiosHelldivers 2\u2019s viral success knows no limits, as it continues to smash all-time player counts left and right. The arrival of Helldivers 2 has been nothing short of miraculous and tumultuous for Arrowhead Game Studios. Since it deployed in early February, the game has received rave reviews and has filled social media with clips of how much fun the player base is having. On the other hand, the servers themselves are buckling and can barely support the continued success. The developers didn\u2019t anticipate the game to be as successful as it\u2019s been, so servers have been at capacity for quite some time. Fans have been left rightfully frustrated. Despite this, Helldivers 2 continues to march forward, climbing up the Steam player charts & surpassing Rockstar Games\u2019 best-selling title on peak concurrent players. Helldivers 2 continues to smash expectations This weekend alone has been a big weekend for Helldivers 2, as it previously jumped over Destiny 2 and Starfield in all-time player count on Steam. Since then, it\u2019s now vaulted over GTA 5 in all-time player count with its all-time peak over 366,00 players. While it may not seem like a remarkable feat, given the rampant server issues and this metric only counting PC players, it\u2019s mindblowing, to say the least. Of course, the number keeps rising, as it\u2019s currently sitting around 369,000 players, per Steam Charts. Bear in mind, GTA 5\u2019s RP player count isn\u2019t included in this metric, but regardless, it\u2019s an impressive feat nonetheless. Plenty of the replies echoed that sentiment, with fans loving what they\u2019re seeing, along with sharing how these numbers will change when the servers are fixed. Can’t wait to see what happens when they resolve their server issues \ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25 \u2014 Del Walker \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf8 (@TheCartelDel) February 18, 2024 Jim ryan seeing helldivers 2 top the charts on steam and become the #1 sold game on ps store after everyone on the internet told him no one wants that live service shit on playstation pic.twitter.com\/FFkDoRB3T2 \u2014 Chill_ice04 (@ChillIce04) February 18, 2024 Arrowhead\u2019s CEO mentioned the team is looking to increase its staff post the massive success of Helldivers 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
