Even with ongoing login and server capacity issues, Helldivers 2 continues to grow, this time passing a new concurrent player total and overtaking the immensely popular shooter, Counter Strike 2. The immediate success of Helldivers 2 has been both a blessing and a curse for Arrowhead Game Studios, who has struggled to adapt to the massive player numbers attempting to log in. While the studio and team are happy to see the game become a major success, becoming the most concurrently played Sony published game on Steam, the backend issues have continued to hold the experience back.
