Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has acknowledged the third-person shooter's performance woes as it confirms "we are hard at work creating a roadmap to address this."

Arrowhead has been aware of Helldivers 2's performance woes for some time now. Earlier this month, CEO Shams Jorjani admitted that "we're not getting a passing grade on performance and stability" right now, noting that another 60-day action plan like was rolled out last year, "wouldn't be enough" to fix everything. Since then, the game has dropped to a "Mixed" recent rating on Steam amid ongoing complaints, with one of many recent negative reviews summarizing that the "game runs like absolute garbage."
