Helldivers 2 devs hike max player cap to make wait times ‘much more bearable’

As hundreds upon thousands of Helldivers 2 players stared at black screens and login errors, Arrowhead Studios worked tirelessly to allow more saviors of democracy to play. Their efforts have today borne fruit—the shooter’s currently-squeezed player cap has increased and will likely keep growing from now.

Arrowhead boss Johan Pilestedt revealed on Twitter late on Feb. 22 that the Helldivers 2 devs have been working non-stop on quick solutions to the capped server problem. The capped count has now been upped from 450,000 to 700,000, which is a meteoric rise for a game that continues to butt against the dev-imposed server’s limits.
