Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead says it has had to "cap" concurrent players to around 450,000 to "further improve server stability". In a message posted to the game's Discord community, the team said it was "working around the clock to solve" the issue, and whilst it's been able to "mitigate" some of the causes, it was "still struggling to keep up with the scaling that is needed". Following a pledge to give all players a 50 per cent XP and requisition bonus to compensate for "a problem" that was giving out incorrect rewards at the end of missions, Helldivers 2's concurrent Steam count continued to tick up yesterday, which has, in turn, had a significant impact on server stability.
