I hope you don't have a truck full of 15 friends waiting expectantly to play Helldivers 2 with you, because that would be really inconvenient. Developer Arrowhead's CEO Shams Jorjani suggests the third-person shooter isn't getting expanded lobbies any time soon.
Jorjani doesn't try to spare anyone's feelings while responding recently to a Helldivers 2 player on Discord asking, "how impossible from scale 1 to 10 would you say more people in a lobby is." He delivers the bitter truth: "my man, we're trying to fix performance. not kill it." Some players are already unhappy with Helldivers 2's performance as it is, reporting that it regularly drops to at least 40fps.
