Got close! I still think it’ll get passed the 200K mark.
Sure, but not today since it peaked at 196K a couple hours ago.
Once they fix all the matchmaking, logins and rewards will go beyond that. Some hours ago I experienced the login issue, meaning the servers were saturated again even if they increased again the capacity, I assume this time to allow 500K CCU.
In PS5 I think login now only fails in peak hours, and I'd say rewards are fixed at least for the recent matches I played. The main issue as of now in PS5 is the matchmaking, since they still didn't release the first update due to the certification process needed.
That and there's a drought on Playstation. Helldivers doesn't count because Arrowhead is not first-party
Arrowhead still isn't 1st party, but the game and IP are first party.
I’d say 200k paid is more impressive than Halo Infinites launch
Sure, being F2P it was easier for Halo Infinite or Destiny 2 to get more user. But as can seen above Helldivers 2 passed most huge paid relatively similar games, and even most huge F2P ones like Warframe.
