Is Now the Right Time to Purchase Helldivers 2? Arrowhead CEO Advises Waiting Until Server Issues are Resolved
1 min read
Arrowhead Game Studios, the developers behind the highly anticipated game Helldivers 2, have issued a warning to potential buyers due to ongoing server issues. The game, which was released earlier this week, has been plagued by login problems, matchmaking issues, and server load problems, leading to frustration among players.
The peak concurrent player count on Steam reached a staggering 411,359, causing significant strain on the servers and resulting in negative user reviews primarily focusing on these server problems. In response, Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt has advised players to hold off on purchasing the game until these issues are resolved.
One of the main concerns raised by the community is the lack of an AFK auto kick feature, which has led to players exploiting the game. Arrowhead has assured players that they are working on a fix for this issue.
Despite these setbacks, reviews of Helldivers 2 have praised the game’s combat mechanics, missions, and progression system, sparking renewed interest in the science fiction genre, particularly the iconic Starship Troopers franchise.

Stay tuned for further developments as Arrowhead Game Studios works to address the server issues and improve the overall gaming experience for players.
