If concord & fairgames hit even half as much as Helldivers... Sony will be a true force in multiplayer gaming landscape.

GaaS is about longevity, not initial sales, it's too soon to say even for Helldivers.

As an aside, new patch just dropped: https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/13509047/

Fixed crash when replicating ragdoll momentum.
Fixed crash when replicating destructions.
Fixed crash when displaying the mission end rewards.
Resolved a 100% block issue for quickplay matchmaking on PC.
Tuned extract civilian mission difficulty.
Improved the way that we handle platform authentication to avoid things like the black screen issue at startup.
Improvements to our client > backend communication for better backend performance.
Implemented an automatic retry mechanism to quickplay.
Added proper login error message for error "10002038.”

Doesn't seem like capacity has been explicitly mentioned.


Edit:



Patch going out now. Highlights include resolved matchmaking and prep for increased server load. Let's gooo!

The backend performance is what was holding up capacity

Yes obviously, but doing this in phases just means still work to do and/or they're not confident in upping the capacity in conjunction with this patch.

Considering how late this patch is coming, probably not looking at a server capacity increase until tomorrow morning at the earliest.

They defintley need a good content road map.

And if sony do need a big injection of players, ps plus essentials is always an option when playerbase eventually settles and sales go down.
Great thy said thy are retooling and or ditching previous roadmap for bigger things.

Well the game is really well designed to get player bumps with new content and new moments

Need to defend Super Earth? Player bump
New systems open up? Player bump
New faction to fight? Player bump
Vehicle drop? Player bump

It also seems to have one of the best structures I've seen in a game for live and emergent stories eg they dropped that voice over from the creek and now everyone is fighting there.

I've been playing solo for an hour and it's weird no one has joined my game when any other times it takes just minutes. Are ppl finding others?
