Indeed, Helldivers 2<\/a><\/em>‘s appeal is unprecedented. Per SteamDB<\/a>, the game has reached a peak of over 333,000 concurrent players just today. That’s a truly staggering number that puts it above the likes of both Starfield (330,000) and Destiny 2 (316,000) and establishes it as the new king of spacefaring sci-fi, at least for the moment. The massively gratifying gameplay loop and ease of progression, as well as the low barrier to entry, ensure that even a relatively smaller studio with fewer games under its belt can go toe to toe with the likes of Bethesda or Bungie. <\/p>
In addition, this player count considers that Helldivers 2<\/em>‘s overwhelmed servers<\/a> aren’t even allowing large amounts of players into the game. It wouldn’t be outside of the realm of possibility for that already huge number to soar even higher once those servers can support more Helldivers at a time.<\/p>
