"We hear you, we want things to be in a better state" — Helldivers 2 is planning a major update next month with bigger performance fixes coming later, and I'm over the moon

Helldivers 2.

Well over one and a half years after the game's initial launch in February 2024, Arrowhead Game Studios' bombastic third-person co-op shooter Helldivers 2 remains one of the best and most popular multiplayer experiences in gaming — even as a variety of other shooters and co-op games continue to release.

Originally exclusive to PC and PS5, it's had quite a big 2025 between the colossal Battle for Super Earth in spring, last month's server-crashing launch on Xbox, an incredible Halo ODST x Helldivers 2 crossover Warbond, and the recent Into the Unjust update that introduced new Terminid enemies and kicked off a dangerous expedition into the bugs' Gloom-covered territory.
