"Helldivers 2 CEO Warns of Potential Server Strain Despite Increase to 700,000 Player Cap"
TL;DR
The player cap for Helldivers 2 has been increased to 700,000, but the CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios warns that it will likely still be reached, leading to long wait times for players. A recent update aims to prevent idle players from hogging server space by kicking them back to the title screen after 15 minutes of inactivity. The game has been a huge success on Steam, hitting a peak of 457,649 concurrent players, and the company is looking to recruit more developers to expand its content plans.
