The game caused such a stir that it reached a <strong>peak of 458,709 players<\/strong>. Not many titles achieve this number of users, but it seems that Helldivers 2 is losing quite a bit of momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of May, the title developed by Arrowhead reached a <strong>peak of 166,305 players<\/strong>, while in June the number has dropped to a peak of 91,692 players with an <strong>average of 41,860 concurrent players<\/strong>. As you can see, the numbers continue to decrease, to the point that<strong> today&#8217;s graph shows 35,499 players<\/strong>. This represents a <strong>90% drop compared to its peak<\/strong>. Of course, this figure only refers to Steam, that is, it does not take into account PlayStation players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Helldivers 2 - Official Launch Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UC5EpJR0GBQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Helldivers 2 was enjoying impressive success, but it was Sony itself that took care of killing the game and causing its downfall. In early May, the Japanese company forced Helldivers 2 buyers to have a PlayStation Network account, a quite controversial move, but one that had a double consequence: there were a total of 177 countries where it was not possible to link the PlayStation Network account to Helldivers 2, <strong>so Steam had to remove it from the store<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the face of all these problems, Sony backtracked and the obligation to use an account was not implemented. <strong>However, the damage was already done<\/strong>. Precisely, there has been a significant drop in players in Helldivers 2 after these moves.
