Helldivers 2 continues to dominate Steam, beats GTA5, Destiny 2 all-time player peaks

When the Nintendo 64 console was first launched in 1996, it was a significant technological leap over the previous systems, bringing the capability of more impressive 3D graphics with its 64-bit technology. Many of Nintendo's game franchises, such as,, and, were made even more popular during this console's lifespan. Also, the N64 was a much better choice for friends and families to enjoy games together, with its four controller ports and many of its new titles facilitating multiplayer gaming.

As Helldivers 2 players digest the game’s first balance patch, developer Arrowhead has discussed the thinking behind changes to weapons and stratagems, calling on players to give them a chance.

One of Steam's highest-rated games of 2024 is a poker-inspired deck builder that's already managed to beat the all-time peak player count of its greatest roguelike rival.

Helldivers, we have a problem. Undemocratic bug fodder has infested the ranks of Helldivers 2, and the toxic behavior of these players is putting a damper on what should be a glorious campaign for Super Earth. 

Helldivers 2 developers Arrowhead have said they will be able to get back to working on future “improvements” for the superb bug-stomping, bot-blasting shooter after finally resolving the weeks-long server struggles caused by the game’s immense popularity.

By now, you would have seen the Borderlands movie trailer and scratched your head. Why? Possibly because you don't know if it needs to be thing. Or maybe because you've somehow been gaming with no actual exposure to this phenomenal, 15-year-old looter-shooter franchise. Today, I'm gonna fix that up quick, fast, and in a hurry with an utterly stupid price on a whole shebang Borderlands Collection. You have 850 fewer excuses for not playing it now.

Helldivers 2's lead developer Johan Pilestedt seems open to a crossover with Destiny, saying that it would "make sense" for the setting. He even tagged Bungie in his comment, perhaps in a bid to see if the studio would be open to arranging some kind of collaboration for the two games.

has a legacy that's hard to beat when it comes to tactics games, but not every title in the franchise lives up to its highest standards. The ideal experience should be challenging but fair and have a story and gameplay that emphasize exciting new ideas while sticking to the best elements of the formula. Fortunately, the series has managed this feat quite a number of times by now, providing plenty of great options across several decades of games.

Helldivers 2's community manager was temporarily blocked from Discord after being mistaken for a bot.

Arrowhead Games Studios has finally managed to increase the server capacity to 700,000 in the latest Helldivers 2 update, hopefully relieving a lot of the issues related to logging in during peak times. It has been a bittersweet few weeks for Arrowhead Game Studios as its latest game, Helldivers 2, has become massively popular with exploding player counts. While that is something every studio would like to see when they release a game, the rapid growth of Helldivers 2 has also been a double-edged sword for the small developer.

A new patch has been rolled out for Arrowhead Game Studios’ third-person squad shooter Helldivers 2, which, amongst other fixes, aims to address the issue of inactive players taking up server space while not actually playing at all.

Since its release a couple of weeks ago, Helldivers 2 has shown no signs of slowing down, and even amidst widespread server and technical issues (which developer Arrowhead Game Studios is looking to address with imminent patches, the first of which has already released), the co-op shooter is continuing to attract players in numbers.
