I will never forget a quarter of a million people fighting to liberate a single planet from the bots.

This happens to every new hit game. Remember when PalWorld went from consecutive 2 million players to just around 20k, and the devs were like, “That’s fine, play more games?” Lol

Banning 190+ countries from buying the game doesn't help either

It’s summer! 😂 I got projects around the house to do, meat to grill, beer to drink. I’ll be back 😎

I feel like a lot of players will come back once we get a whole bunch of new stuff like that new alien species the illuminant.

I just found it to get repetitive tbh I mean it’s a good and fun game but idk and 45k is still crazy good numbers

I don’t get it how all these content creators don’t understand that this is a totally normal lifecycle for a game like this. Helldivers is no MMORPG or competitive heroshooter. People don’t play it forever, instead they leave for some time and come back later. And 50k players just on Steam, add the consoles and we are way above 100k, is still insane.

It's mostly balancing problems that caused the fall off. They made it impossible for players to play by themselves by increasing the spawn rate on single-player missions. It was to the point where they were spawning at a rate that was normal of much higher difficulties before the update that increased the spawn rates. The game was mostly unplayable even with friends.

playing hd 2 was like coming to work, same thing everyday. that's why

[TheOneAndOnlyDaan]

The drop in freeze is anoying AF if they dont fix it soon ill stop playing too

[ShrunkenRule]

This is the worst statistic to ever blow up. 44, 000 player consistently is still a lot of player. Plus we’re in between patches and updates. I’m assuming the numbers will shoot back up to about 70-80k when the next warbond comes out. The devs aren’t all that worried, they are in it for the long run. That’s why everyone signed up. I am too.

Most of us are just playing Elden Ring DLC waiting for new content and playing other games while Arrowhead cooks. The rest are waiting to play in the areas where the game was restricted. Hold fast Helldivers!

[kingstonmclean]

Seems like everyone tryna hate on HD2 like Arrowhead is a big triple A game studio unlike some..

[Landaren]

Constantly nerfing weapons while adding trash ones will do that

[Erased_UnityXDX]

A popular game losing most of it's player base after some time?!?!?!?!?!
I can't believe it

[brentbedsaul]

Maybe if they didn't screw with all the guns I'd still play but it's dumb

[theincredibleslav]

Its summer all games lose players in the summer look it up also we are still completing major order in record time

[EmperorofThings]

Not sure why everyone's acting like this is a big idea. Every game drops off after awhile.

[haydenrhead]

Helldivers is a 4 player experience. It’s not like we need a 100k players to keep servers full

I dive in for a 3-5 missions a day. If launch solo my squad fills out before I collect my support items. Player base has been awesome as well. Had some hilarious conversations and great team mates. It’s a lot of fun.
