Did any of us actually see this coming? Helldivers 2 launched earlier this year with a handful of server issues, yet it skyrocketed to become one of the most popular video games in recent memory. It’s surpassed many expectations and continues to attract serious numbers of players daily. Here is how many people are playing Helldivers 2 these days!
How Many People Play Helldivers 2?
At the time of this writing, there are over 184,000 players in Helldivers 2. That’s almost a quarter of a million fighting for managed democracy and Super Earth. Are you part of the fighting force pushing back against the Automatons and Terminids?
In the past 24 hours, Helldivers enjoyed immense numbers. The primarily third-person shooter saw over 250,000 players fighting for Malevelon Creek and Draupnir.
Unfortunately, we’re unsure of precisely how many people play Helldivers 2 on PlayStation 5. Sony doesn’t typically share such numbers with the public, though we know the game is far more prevalent and sells more copies on PC than on console.

What is the All-Time Peak Players in Helldivers 2?
Impressively, the all-time peak for Helldivers 2 is 458,709 players. It’s unlikely to push past this amount, as by now, anyone interested in the game already bought a copy of two for their friend group. That said, the upcoming Steam Summer Sale, which may or may not include a discount for Helldivers 2, could help entice even more new players to join the fight!
The Guide Hall is a small part of the fighting force taking on Automatons in Helldivers 2, but we could always use additional reinforcements! We’ll have more guides coming soon to help you take the fight to bots and bugs!
