What is the current Helldivers 2 player count?

At the time of writing, the largest player record for Helldivers 2 happened on 24th February with 458,709 players according to SteamDB. This month, the peak of 348,188 concurrent players was achieved on April 8, 2024. This third-party Steam monitor only includes Steam numbers and doesn’t count PS5’s active players. It’s a massive number that towers over fan favorites like Destiny 2 and Starfield.

A max CCU cap due to server issues limited how many players could access the servers but developer Arrowhead Game Studios has since expanded this limit. Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt had advised waiting for the servers to support all its players at launch. A few weeks later, things are fairly smooth in Helldivers 2 for the vast majority of its users.

Are there any confirmed Helldivers 2 sales estimates?

Analysts suggest that Helldivers 2 may have sold over 8 million copies. Considering that we don’t have sales totals for both platforms, we cannot confirm this information. But based on the game’s strong performance on PC, we can reasonably assume that the third-person shooter has crossed the 1 million sold threshold. Despite being a paid title, it’s keeping up with the daily active users (DAUs) of games like Apex Legends according to a report by IDG consulting.

Has PlayStation released sales numbers for Helldivers 2?

No, there is no estimate of how many players are on Sony’s consoles at the moment. It overtook Call of Duty and Fortnite on PSN in the United States, meaning that Helldivers 2 is doing pretty well on the PS5. We noted its excellent approach to in-game currencies, co-op combat, and cinematic moments in our Helldivers 2 review. As a concurrent PC and PS5 launch, the game has been played by gamers of all skill levels. Expect the game’s success to keep increasing player numbers and the peak player count.
