This shit is crazy. I logged out when my team disconnected and can't get back in.

HELLDIVERS™ 2 had an all-time peak of 448,034 concurrent players on 21 February 2024. https://steamdb.info/app/553850/charts/

Bruh how is this game peaking on a weekday lmao

On a Tuesday no less, the further along a game peaks during the weekday, the more chance of the game peaking on the subsequent weekend.
Arrowhead back end devs dying out here, no pressure on them of course :ROFLMAO:

I wonder how long people are going to tolerate the server issues before they go play something else though, can't be that much longer no?
448k
20th all time.
Crazy sh*t.

If we're talking about the real position, the game is at least #18 because both the Capcom Stadium games are fake CCU peaks, 1 day peak due to steam botting for Steam cards.
Life is Strange 2 seems to be due to Free Key giveaways.

It’ll keep going up for who knows… some of this hype can snowball on itself.

No predictions to be made any more. Just gotta see what happens.

I'm not a big multiplayer guy but this game just has cool vibes and if not for the server problems would be pretty inviting to just hop in play for half and hour and get out. Zero toxicity so far in my experience as well, reminds me of early days L4D.

Somebody at Arrowhead updated the Steam depot for the game at 2AM Sweden time 💀

Edit: They just did it again as of 30 seconds ago
Programmers working until very late pushing to production during peak hours. These folks have iron balls under their pants.

They even have fun codenames for the patches: "Fenrir" and "Godzilla". xDDD

They broke the all-time peak again 421.4k 😃

Officially number 21 under Among Us



Sony is powerless to speed things up, it's just these 5 dudes 😩

To me at least it was not obvious that this game was going to be anything else than just another online TPS and since it was online it was going to be plagued with insane micro-transactions and likely broken (as in bug ridden, not as in not enough server capability).
I mean it's the same with just regular game dev, onboarding for games can take as long as 3 months to be able to utilize someone at their 100% depending on how familiar or unfamiliar they are with the internal tools.
This is if the onboarding is well organized, where I work I heard it could take over a year for someone to be able to "just code" (we are working on a way to fix that ASAP).
