Helldivers 2 studio CEO says despite improvements, there's "more work to be done" with performance patches: "The intent is that new releases don't bork quality but build on it"

Helldivers 2 devs are aware that there's still "more work to be done" to bring the shooter's performance to the level it should be, but at the very least, the goal is for new releases like next week's Warbond not to "bork quality but build on it."

Earlier this year, Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani acknowledged that Helldivers 2 has accumulated a lot of technical debt – an issue that's led to performance woes that players have been complaining about for months. Last month, Arrowhead took a "big step forward" with a chunky patch full of over 200 bug fixes and optimizations, but Jorjani noted that more patches were coming, as "performance will take many many more months of work to get to even more meaningful improvement."
