As noted by Wario64 on Twitter, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has stated on its official Discord that it is capping the game's concurrent players at 450,000 while it resolves issues related to mission payouts and dropped connections.

We reported yesterday that Helldivers 2 more than doubled its peak player count from its first weekend online, and that's only increased to a whopping 386,000 players at the time of writing.
