What you need to know

• Arrowhead Game Studios' new third-person PvE co-op shooter Helldivers 2 has been tremendously successful since launching on February 8, with over 400,000 players jumping in this past weekend and 330,051 in-game as I write this.
• However, the game's explosive popularity has led to severe server capacity problems in recent days, making it nearly impossible for many to play it.
• Arrowhead has been working hard to expand Helldivers 2's server capacity, but in the meantime, CEO Johan Pilestedt has suggested holding off on buying the game for now, especially if you're on a tight budget.
• "If you have no cash, get it later. While we made a really fun game it's worth waiting until the servers can support the capacity," he wrote on X (Twitter). A patch to help address the situation is coming later today, with further improvements expected to arrive later this week and beyond.
