Despite having initially indicated they’d prefer not to do so if it could be avoided, Helldivers 2 developers Arrowhead have now confirmed that they’re holding off adding new stuff to the shooter while they focus in on improving its performance.
It’s for the best, as issues with stability and bugs overshadowed the verdict players had on Helldivers 2’s last big update, Into the Unjust. Not all of the concerns raised by players recently were new as of that update, see the game’s long-beefy PC file size, but the result’s been a backlog Arrowhead would have struggled to avoid confronting.
It’s great to see the developers prioritizing performance fixes for Helldivers 2. Delays can be disappointing, but ultimately, they often lead to a better gaming experience. Looking forward to seeing the improvements!
