Arrowhead Game Studios’ Helldivers 2 quickly became a phenomenon in the gaming industry but three months after its release, it seems like the game isn’t exciting enough to keep the players hooked as more and more players have stopped playing the game. There are several reasons behind this, including Sony’s Psn account linking policy implementation and lack of innovative gear, weapons, or Stratagems.

Arrowhead has finally realized that players have been begging to see some new items in the game so, the reward for completing the new Major Order is a new form of Exosuit. There is another way to save the game that players have been suggesting: an Xbox release, but it’s hard to see it becoming a reality. Sony is very protective of its property and giving Microsoft an opportunity to release a profitable game like Helldivers is definitely not their style.

Helldivers 2 is in a rough spot right now and Arrowhead Game Studios is struggling to keep the game afloat. PlayStation 5 and PC users are noticing a drastic decline in quality, and some of them have given up the fight for democracy, which leaves the war effort in need of extra manpower.
Fortunately, there is an untapped platform of dedicated players on Xbox. The players have been begging for the developers to port the game on their platform, but Sony is still in control, however, there is a potential slim chance of it being ported if the publisher is unhappy with the player count.

The Helldivers 2 community once again struggled with completing a Major Order and players abandoning the game could be the reason behind it. As compared to its first month, Helldivers 2 has lost a lot of players. The community believes that Arrowhead Game Studios is setting unrealistic goals, that active players just cannot achieve.
Helldivers 2
This last Major Order ordered the players to kill roughly 3.1 billion enemies and players managed to complete roughly 87% of the goal. Just like the previous Major Order, players tried their best to complete it, but it was just not possible. It seems like Arrowhead has finally realized their mistake as the new Major Order will reward players with a new Exosuit, something which should lure back many players.

Since Helldivers 2‘s release, Xbox players have been feeling left out as the game quickly became one of the most popular games in the industry. The game was released on Windows and PlayStation 5, leaving Xbox players wondering why the game wasn’t released on their platform. Sony has published/funded both Helldivers games and it is pretty obvious why they are not willing to share the game with Microsoft.

Three months after the release of Helldivers 2, the game has started losing its players and the best way to prevent this is by releasing the game on Xbox. Sony restricted the fanbase by not releasing the game on Xbox consoles as it would’ve significantly boosted the game’s sales. This decision could keep Helldivers 2 alive as fans are concerned that the game is slowly dying and another failed Major Order has proved that this is true.
Can an Xbox release save Helldivers 2 from dying?...

When Helldivers 2 first appeared on the scene, it was welcomed with open arms by countless players crying out for a fresh new gaming experience. The chance to battle for Democracy and liberate worlds saw the PlayStation game become the fastest-selling title with a reported 12 million sales in the first 12 weeks of release.
Recent reports have stated that the title has seen an alarming drop in player numbers which no doubt will have alarm bells ringing. Following this disturbing trend, Johan Pilestedt has decided to take a step back from his role as CEO and has brought in a well-respected and well-known colleague in the form of Shams Jorjani.

The Helldivers 2 team probably didn’t expect the game to blow up the way that it did on release. Remember, the servers were in shambles the first few weeks simply because they could not handle the sheer amount of people who wanted to try it out themselves.
Ever since then, the community has continued to grow. However, with this kind of audience comes a lot of toxicity that the Arrowhead Game Studios’ ex-ceo, Johan Pilestedt, refuses to stay silent about.

When it comes to live-service gaming, longevity is one of the key factors that plays a major role, and although Helldivers 2 has been trying its best to keep up with a landscape that’s constantly evolving, things aren’t looking too bright for the Arrowhead title.
At launch and for months, the Helldivers sequel was the center of conversation because of the developer’s wholesome approach to the multiplayer experience. However, due to various factors, Helldivers 2 is finding it hard to retain its player base, as the count keeps dropping and hasn’t reached the peaks it used to enjoy.

Helldivers 2 serves as a galactic playground for every gamer who’s a fan of fast guns, harsh environments, and democracy. In the midst of battle, players often find themselves switching between different weapon types to fight different kinds of enemies.
For this reason, a Helldivers 2 player is a helpful suggestion that could improve the quality of life for the game, giving developers something to look forward to when thinking about ideas for a new weapon design.

Out of all the suggestions and speculations fans can come up with, this one has to be one that feels a little unique. According to user ManiakAres on Reddit, the game could fare well with a system that lets players give different gun ratings based on their experience.

Helldivers 2 players have noticed a drastic decline in quality in the past few days, and Arrowhead Game Studios is not numb to criticism. The developers are actively working on updates and patches that will stabilize the performance, and the fans hope they can salvage the game.
It is a shame to see a beloved game tarnished due to the technical aspects, and the developers are remorseful for the experience that the community is having right now. Some players even threatened to quit playing until the issues were resolved, and the studio is cutting it close.

Helldivers 2 was a title that soared soon after it launched and became one of the best-selling titles of 2024. This was until it wrongly landed itself and its developer studio in a major controversy, which Sony Interactive Entertainment drove.
However, as everything settled down, the game was restored to its GotY contender status and now continues to be played by hundreds of thousands of divers. Johan Pilestedt, Arrowhead’s CEO, recently made a heartfelt statement to fans that aligns with his past actions.

Helldivers 2 staff are always open to new ideas, and the fans certainly haven’t held back from suggesting things. From new Stratagems to unique monster ideas, you name it, and someone’s probably already sketched out a concept design for it.
However, one idea from a superfan of the game is quite different and makes great use of the DualSense controllers. If the game were to come to Xbox, this rad feature is sadly one that Xbox users would have to miss out on.

Live-service games can be tricky to keep going and Helldivers 2 has been doing a fine job for the past few months. However, when developers like Arrowhead have to constantly make changes to their titles, it’s going to be unlikely for the entire player base to be satisfied with the updates.
Despite its popularity, Helldivers 2 also ends up facing balancing problems, and it’s been a while since Arrowhead launched a patch that nerfed numerous weapons to the point where the game started to become less enjoyable than before, but that could change soon.

When going out into the battlefield in Helldivers 2, one needs to be aware of three things: their guns, their squad, and their armor. Gamers will focus heavily on the first two, but armor doesn’t get as much of a spotlight in the title. This might be because it doesn’t stand out as it should!
This sentiment is echoed by a poster on the Helldivers subreddit who has found some inconsistencies in the game’s armor system. Focusing on one aspect that is very prevalent in Souls games, the poster asks a very pertinent question: Why is heavy armor not heavy?
Fans React to Helldivers 2 Heavy Armor’s Staggeringly Low Poise Armor in Helldivers 2 is not as effective as it should be.

Without a doubt, Helldivers 2 is one of the most popular games in the world right now thanks to its action-packed gameplay. The game has many weapons and Stratagems, however, many people still point out that many weapons are still missing. One such weapon is a minigun. Almost every shooting video game has this weapon but Arrowhead still hasn’t added it to the game.

The Mg-206 Heavy Machine Gun is a replacement for it but it’s quite strange that a proper mini-gun wasn’t added to the game at the time of release. Recently, Arrowhead boss, Johan Pilestedt acknowledged a fan concern regarding the assault rifles being underpowered in the game. Hopefully, in the future, this problem will be solved as Pilestedt agrees that assault rifles’ representation has become diluted.

The Helldivers 2 community has managed to find a glitch that allows them to store 4.2 billion grenades. This simple glitch, which works on PC and PS5, can be performed in all missions, all difficulties, and with any type of grenade. Although this glitch gives you an unfair advantage, it allows you to take out all sorts of Terminids or Automatons with ease. In the past, players have tried various grenade glitches and like every time, this one will soon be patched by Arrowhead Game Studios as well.

The latest Helldivers 2 Major Order, which required players to eliminate a colossal two billion enemy Automatons, has predictably failed. The community fell short of reaching the target by about 700,000 kills. This setback, however, has resulted in a surprising lore twist within the game.
In a tongue-in-cheek announcement on the game’s Discord server, community manager Baskinator revealed that the seemingly huge battles players have fought in so far were merely a prelude, as the Second Galactic War has now commenced. However, some players think that the new Major Order could be hinting to an impending Xbox launch for the co-op shooter.

After a long and arduous wait, Ghost of Tsushima is about to finally descend into the hands of Steam players. From Sony’s perspective, these past few days must’ve been quite scary, given what happened with Helldivers 2 and what that controversy’s potential impact on their upcoming release could be.
All the worries can be put to rest now, it seems, as Ghost of Tsushima is already topping Steam’s list of best-selling games, showcasing how even the pre-purchase refunds failed to stop the massively anticipated title.
Ghost of Tsushima Currently Stands Second on the List of Steam’s Best-Selling Titles Although Ghost of Tsushima is a commercial success on PC, one can hope it runs well too.
Back when Ghost of Tsushima’s PC port was first announced, people knew the game was going to be big amongst the master race. The game is, after all, the quintessential shogun-samurai fantasy.

Arrowhead’s popular co-op shooter Helldivers 2 continues to soldier on with its dedicated fanbase, even after the recent debacle surrounding Psn account linking for PC players. The mandate was thankfully rescinded, and it’s business as usual, especially with the game’s Major Order events.

Helldivers 2 is the talk of the town once more after the gaming community got creative and used mods to spice up its experience. While mods are not officially supported, director Johan Pilestedt warns players to tread carefully, for they might be at risk of being banned.
Modders are creative individuals and tend to tamper with things that should be left untouched. Pilestedt is not encouraging this activity, but there are no consequences for doing so unless the in-game anti-cheat will detect these activities as cheating, which will drop the ban hammer.
Helldivers 2 Players Are Fighting Another Galactic War The modding community just added a Star Wars mod, and Helldivers 2 players are loving it.
There is no denying that the latest Arrowhead project shares a lot of similarities with different franchises, and one theater in Nashville thought it was a great idea to play an advertisement for the game before the showing of Starship Troopers.

Helldivers 2: Player Seemingly Sees the First Illuminate Ship Mid Combat, Disappears When Fired Upon
There’s no doubt that Helldivers 2 is one of the most popular PvE games available right now on PS5 and Windows. Amid the Galactic War, you play as a Helldiver and take the fight against aliens to protect your home planet. Arrowhead’s title brings players an exhilarating shooter experience that we’ve never seen in the gaming landscape before.
However, based on some recent clips on Reddit, the fight against aliens is about to become more chaotic. While the community has already been spread thin, fighting on two separate fronts to eliminate the forces of the Terminidis and Automatos, a third faction known as the Illuminate looks to be creeping into Helldivers 2.

Ghost of Tsushima is next in line after the new Helldivers game to have a ton of criticism poured on it thanks to Sony’s decisions. After Arrowhead’s latest title was restricted for purchase only in countries that have Psn access, it seems Tsushima‘s PC port has followed the same pattern, and people aren’t happy.
Out of all the statements that have been thrown around, one that seems to be the most controversial of them all comes from popular content creator Mutahar, who put forward one statement that people can’t seem to get behind.
Ghost of Tsushima Is Delisted in Over 170 Countries
A lot of aspiring Ghost of Tsushima players on PC may not be able to play.
For the most part, the Helldivers drama was over after PlayStation’s parent company went back on its decision to force Steam players to create and link a Psn ID to their accounts.

As of writing, Marvel Rivals is doing extremely well for itself. The game’s alpha test has had an overall positive reception, and fans are very pleased with how the game handles most of its characters. However, the game’s preview contract provided to content creators birthed a few complicated feelings in the community.
Fortunately enough, NetEase was quick to realize the error in its ways and decided to clarify what the contract meant and redo its terms. At least someone’s quick on the uptake—looking at you, Tarkov.

Helldivers 2 has been in the headlines for the past few weeks and is one of the most popular third-person shooter video games in the gaming industry. Arrowhead Game Studios has been constantly taking player feedback to improve the game, but a major issue still remains unresolved. Even after adding a new assault rifle to the game recently, fans still feel insufficient as the existing assault rifles in the game are quite weak.
Helldivers 2
It appears like Arrowhead CEO, Johan Pilestedt, agrees that the representation of assault rifles has become diluted because of its underpowered capabilities. Hopefully, this issue will be resolved in the future as Pilestedt finally acknowledged it.

Helldivers 2 is still not out of the woods just yet, especially in regions where it was recently pulled out. Johan Pilestedt, who serves as the game director and the CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios chimed in on the conversation and has some promising news for the fans.
The whole controversy began when Sony released a new mandate where PC players will be required to link their Steam accounts with the PlayStation Network. However, not all regions are covered by the service which prompted the publisher to remove the game in said regions.

Given the shortage of mods for Helldivers 2, the gaming community was taken aback when a YouTuber, ToastedShoes, unveiled a video featuring a Star Wars mod for the game. The game, which revolves around democracy and space wars, has always sparked discussions about Star Wars within its community.
This mod has been warmly received, with players eagerly anticipating the chance to experience it firsthand. It transforms not only the players into the legendary 501st Legion but also changes the enemies into the Separatist Droids, adding an exciting twist to the game.

Sony and Arrowhead Game Studios ruined Helldivers 2‘s perfect rating by introducing the Psn account linking policy and some players believe that Arrowhead should not be blamed for it. While many players loved the latest Polar Patriots Warbond, some players criticized it for being average.
Helldivers 2
A player on Reddit on the Helldivers 2 subreddit has asked players to go easy on the Arrowhead devs as the community shouldn’t expect every Warbond to include an item that’s a “game changer.” The player added that Arrowhead is taking the damage for Sony as they are the ones behind the Psn account linking policy. Due to backlash, the policy is now being revoked but the game is still delisted in 177 countries.

One of the best parts about the original Helldivers was the mechs, so it’s no surprise they’ve returned to Helldivers 2. With their incredibly mighty weapons, they add more chaos to the game’s already chaotic battles. Once you’re inside one, you’re guaranteed some degree of safety and a lot of firepower to decimate anyone who dares to stand in your way.
Since they’re incredibly popular, many players in the community want to see more exosuits in the game. Having the ability to blast through anything without any sort of resistance is quite fun. However, Arrowhead hasn’t given players an update on the upcoming exosuits in the game. This has frustrated many in the community, who wonder why they haven’t expanded upon mechs in the game. However, it seems like we finally know why Arrowhead isn’t keen on adding more exosuits to the game.

Arrowhead’s Helldivers 2 has generated waves as a live-service game that offers fun gameplay and an engaging community. But recently, the game came under fire for its controversial Psn linking requirement. Thankfully, Sony backpedaled on this feature, and players were excited to return to the game.
However, things haven’t been smooth when it comes to actual gameplay and balance changes for Helldivers 2. Arrowhead’s recent nerfs to the Eruptor and other weapons in the last few weeks have frustrated much of the community. Even with Polar Patriots Warbond out now, bringing more weapons, fans have completely lost their enthusiasm. Many in the community have called out the developers for their “atrocious” weapon balancing, causing them to dread what’s coming for the game next.

For Helldivers 2 fans and staff, the past few days have been an insane journey. But with official confirmation that the war is finally over, fans have gone back to their usual jovial selves.
Apparently, that includes making mock-up in-game cosmetics to commemorate what has been an intense, exhausting war against Sony for its recent decision to force a Psn link on Steam players to access their Helldivers 2 accounts. And one amusing community design has fans demanding that it be added to the game.

Recently, Helldivers 2 received a lot of criticism for something that caused a grievance between fans of PlayStation and players on PC. Due to Sony’s requirement for Ps accounts to be linked to a player’s Helldivers 2 copy on PC, several users on Steam took to the reviews and vented out their opinions and frustration.
This resulted in a review-bombing of sorts, but there has been a silver lining to this. According to the latest sources, it’s likely that Steam will slowly remove irrelevant reviews from the platform. This should help Helldivers 2 get back to its ‘mostly positive‘ ratings soon enough.

It’s Not PlayStation, Arrowhead, or the Players, but the Helldivers 2 Controversy Does Have 1 Winner
Helldivers 2 is the center of attraction once again but for all the wrong reasons. Sony insisted that players on PC should link their PlayStation Network accounts to Steam for moderation, and many gamers were displeased.
In light of the recent controversy, the community will now look at the platform from a different perspective. If players were to dissect what Steam can provide that other platforms cannot, they would arrive at a clear answer for the future of gaming.

All was going right for Helldivers 2, until suddenly, Sony and PlayStation decided to update the game’s Steam requirements. Now, unless you link your Psn account to Arrowhead Game Studios’ hit sequel, the title is unplayable. This has caused a huge stir in the community and has got fans both deeply concerned and rightfully angry, as unfortunately, Psn isn’t available in every country.

One either dies a hero or lives long enough to become a villain. PlayStation was having another extraordinary year with various titles, only for one decision to blow back in its face. Arrowhead’s Helldivers 2 became the crown jewel for Sony. Still, ever since the company announced that players need to create a Psn account to continue playing, many community members weren’t okay with what they were being forced to do.
A reason for that is that Psn isn’t available in every country, worrying fans about how they’d be able to play the title, but it seems like things aren’t as bad as they may have seemed.

Arrowhead’s beloved co-op shooter, Helldivers 2, is experiencing its first round of negative press, that too very overwhelming. The studio recently announced that PC players will have to link a Psn account to continue playing the game after May 6.
Hundreds of thousands of players were blindsided at the sudden change, which was optional at the game’s launch. Concerns about data security and regions without Psn access are being brought up, and Arrowhead has been taking the brunt of the blame, even though it’s not their decision.
Arrowhead’s Hand Was Potentially Forced By Their Publisher
Arrowhead officials have named publisher Sony as the reason behind the controversial decision.
The studio’s community manager, Spitz, revealed in Helldivers 2‘s official Discord channel that the mandate has been enforced by the game’s publisher, Sony. It was intended to be there since launch, but technical issues delayed the account linking requirement.

Live-service darling Helldivers 2 took a big hit to its reputation yesterday when developer Arrowhead announced that the top-selling co-op shooter would require Steam players to link a PlayStation Network (Psn) accounts to play the game post-May 6.
This unexpected switch-up has caused a furious stir in the fanbase, leading to concerns about regions without Psn support and a surge of negative reviews on Steam, dragging the user score down. Many blame Arrowhead for the decision, but it seems to be coming from higher up.
Arrowhead’s Hand May Have Been Forced In The Decision
Even Arrowhead is at Sony’s mercy for answers about the Psn integration.
The requirement itself appears to be a move by Sony, the game’s publisher, to integrate Steam users into the Psn ecosystem. However, the way it was communicated has been the source of most of the anger. Players argue that the information, buried in...

One of the most popular video games in the world right now, Helldivers 2, will soon get a feature that players have been constantly requesting from Arrowhead Game Studios: Cross-progression. Helldivers 2 is currently available on two platforms, PlayStation 5 and Windows, and Arrowhead boss, Johan Pilestedt, has confirmed that they are currently discussing this idea so fans will potentially be able to play the game on one platform and the progress will be saved for both the platforms.

Even though Helldivers 2 has achieved some great things, Johan Pilestedt has not let the fame get to his head. The CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios can be found on X engaging in substantial discussions about his game, answering fan queries, and interacting with the gaming community as a person instead of a studio boss.
Another good marker of a healthy mindset is being forthcoming with appreciation where it’s deserved. Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3 was a smash hit in 2023, and when Bethesda’s Todd Howard admitted as much, Pilestedt just wanted to let everyone know the obvious was being restated.
