Helldivers 2 install size reduction effort yields 131GB in cuts, and you can try the slim build right now

Seems itโ€™s a good day to be a Helldivers 2 player: in addition to the buff-happy Into the Unjust 5.0.0 patch that launched earlier, developers Arrowhead have shared an update on their efforts to shave down the co-op shooterโ€™s mammoth install size.
