If you're facing issues, too, chances are the servers are down. Here's how you can check. Is Helldivers 2 down? At the time of writing, servers for Helldivers 2 seem to be up and running without any issues. That said, the game launched very recently on Feb. 8, so the errors you're facing are probably due to the surge in player traffic and inevitable after-launch server hiccups. On Feb. 11, servers for\u00a0Helldivers 2\u00a0had significant connection issues, and players were reporting problems with receiving their end-of-game rewards. The developer has commented on the subject, saying that\u00a0a server maintenance period is coming\u00a0up at 12 pm CT\u00a0to fix the issues. This\u00a0concluded by 2 pm CT, with the situation resolved. If you're\u00a0unable to join a multiplayer game, make sure you have crossplay enabled. PlayStation users require a\u00a0PS Plus subscription\u00a0to play multiplayer, so make sure you have an active one. While you're at it, check your network's stability, as an unstable internet can easily mimic a server hiccup. Disconnect from any VPN you're connected to and make sure your Windows Firewall settings aren't blocking Helldivers 2's online features. Suppose the issue doesn't seem to be on your side, and you're still unable to play\u00a0Helldivers 2. In that case, I suggest submitting a support ticket to Arrowhead Studios, explaining the hiccup you're facing and including screenshots if needed. How to check if Helldivers 2\u2019s servers are down There\u2019s no dedicated platform for you to check if Helldivers 2 is down or not. You have to resort to the official social page on X (formerly Twitter) or join the official Discord server for updates. As of Feb. 18, Helldivers 2's servers were still struggling with high capacity issues, significantly since the game's concurrent player record on Steam increased to 405,514 and is still rising. Because of the success and problems that came from it, Arrowhead has decided to cap the servers at 450,000 while it works to increase the capacity of its servers. The direct quote from Arrowhead's discord channel is as follows: \"Our team is working around the clock to solve these issues. While we've been able to mitigate some of the causes, we are still struggling to keep up with the scaling that is needed to accommodate all our Helldivers. Therefore, we've had to cap our concurrent players to around 450,000 to further improve server stability. We will continue to work with our partners to get the ceiling raised.\" Another way to determine if there\u2019s a server hiccup is to ask a friend who lives in the same region. Check if they are facing the same error code or problem as you. If so, it\u2019s likely an issue that needs Arrowhead\u2019s attention, so submit a ticket to report it. So, there you have it. You know everything you need about Helldivers 2's server status.
