Helldivers 2: Impressive Debut on Steam Amid Matchmaking Issues

One of the most highly anticipated games of the year, Helldivers 2, has made an impressive debut on Steam. However, the game’s launch has been marred by matchmaking problems and crashes, leading to frustration among players.

Helldivers 2 is a cooperative action game developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It is available on both PS5 and PC via Steam. Despite the technical issues, the game has gained significant traction, currently ranking as the 18th most-played game on Steam with 64,183 concurrent players. It has also become the third top-selling game by revenue, surpassing popular titles like Palworld and Call of Duty.

Unfortunately, the game’s reception on Steam has been categorized as ‘mixed’ due to performance problems that mainly affect PC players. Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt addressed these issues on the official Helldivers Discord, acknowledging the matchmaking problems, crashes, and login issues. Pilestedt explained that the high number of players during the launch uncovered unforeseen issues in the system. The team is working tirelessly to resolve these problems, but it seems that a game patch will be necessary to fully address them. In the meantime, Pilestedt recommended players to team up with community members as that seems to be working fine.

Among the issues reported by players, one particular problem raised is with the quickplay feature. Arrowhead has assured players that they are actively working on a fix for this issue.

It is crucial for both Arrowhead Game Studios and Sony to promptly address these launch issues to avoid adversely affecting the player base and dampening fans’ enthusiasm. Despite the setbacks, Helldivers 2 has already captured the attention of many gamers and has the potential to become a huge success.
