Helldivers 2 developers decided over the weekend to cap the concurrent player count to 450,000 amongst server instability, but that hasn't stopped thousands of players from enjoying the chaotic third-person shooter.
In a message on Discord, the developers, Arrowhead, penned a message detailing that several server-related issues led to "some mission payouts failing, some players being kicked to their ships, or being logged out." In order to solve this issue, the decision was made to cap the concurrent players to around 450,000 so the team has time to "mitigate some of the causes" and keep up with scaling everything that is needed to accommodate all the current players.
