The number of players in Helldivers 2 is increasing, so developers are forced to expand the servers to allow everyone interested to enjoy the new dynamic shooter. Just a few days after the game's release, the server capacity in Helldivers 2 was increased from 250,000 to 360,000. This solution lasted for a short period - the number of active users was growing daily by tens of thousands. After a little over a week, the number of CCU (concurrent users - users playing the game at a given moment) was increased by another 340,000. If at the game's launch users faced overloaded servers and couldn't always connect to the game session on the first try, now this problem arises extremely rarely. The only way to solve it is to wait a little and try reconnecting.

As of the release of the latest patch 1.000.12, the CCU indicator in Helldivers 2 reaches 700,000. And this is not the limit - developers continue to work on the stability and scalability of servers to ensure comfortable gameplay without bugs and connection problems. Helldivers 2 Creative Director Johan Pilested stated that the team is currently actively working on improving the game code and the process as a whole. Presumably, the servers will continue to expand further as updates are released.
