I feel like I beat traffic, first time I was able to log in at night. 🤩

385k CCU on Steam as well right now.
I got in without delay about 1 hour ago, did the training mission and they wold me I was the best so I figured I would not die on the battlefield because I'm so ready... then I went on a mission against the robots and got destroyed (I was alone, not sure how to join in with a team).

Those poor scientists I was supposed to escort all died.

Don't bother with that mission, it's the hardest in the whole game even on trivial. Start on the bug side (Terminids).

Raise the flag mission are easy to start

Robots are hard damn. I played 3 against them and only accomplished the main objectives once.

Learn to go prone, throw smoke to disengage, or shoot the little puffball plants to create smokescreen. Fighting patrols is mostly a waste of time and resources unless absolutely necessary especially solo. Learn the tells for when bots are raising their arms to shoot a flare to trigger bot drops, you can interrupt them before they shoot the flare and stop the reinforce.

Go prone with them flooding me? It's crazy how much harder robots are then the bugs.

Go prone to avoid detection, once they're on to you it's too late. Kill the ones you can't outrun, then break line of sight. They stop chasing if they can't see you for a while.

Arrowhead CEO on Helldivers 2: We have updated the max CCU cap to 700,000. Unfortunately, we expect the CCU to reach that level. We believe that the wait times will be much more bearable.​

Peak last night 422k. Tonight and Saturday will be telling. Last two days have not continued hype driven upward trend on pc. Anecdotal of course considering lack of console data. Not sure they will reach one million concurrent milestone etc. this weekend but good luck anyway.

Someone brought up that server login issues bloated concurrent count on steam… there may be some truth to that tbh.

This is an excellent launch. But there will be natural drop off and in a month’s time and we will see what the hardcore playerbase turns into.

That is unless there’s some dynamic world event stuff up their sleeve for the game. The invasion gimmicks etc have a ton of potential when introducing new gameplay and ideas etc…

I think that two days in a row dropping points to a natural decline rather than a one off.
Tbh I don't think any game will ever continue climbing day on day infinitely, although I do think that with faster fixes, this could've went on a bit longer for this game, but it is what it is.

Anyhow, unless something bad happens, the game should see a new CCU record on Saturday/Sunday even if Friday doesn't see an increase day over day.

The question is how high.

Games can climb for weeks on end depending on the hype around it and where it’s starting from. I’m not ruling it out here. This game has managed to tap the br crowd successfully for a pve game.

Numbers could still legit be growing and the login issues could’ve caused concurrent to seem bigger than it is with actual active players at the time.

It could be a drop off. It could also be a kind of data correction too. I’m interested in seeing how this plays out for sure.
