Helldivers 2 |OT| Trying to serve 459k players (Bigger than GTA V)

[kitler53]

well,.. played a bit and then the game froze returning from a mission.  can't get back in now.

huge drop in ccu.  servers must have exploded.

[kitler53]

ccu is like 100k higher than this time yesteday.   if the servers are able to hold we could see a 350 to 400k peak today.

...they probably won't hold.

[Dr. Pezus]

Probably even higher tomorrow, or isn't Sunday usually the biggest day for gaming?

Can't compare a weekend to a weekday like that lol

Will be bigger but kids don't have school in the mornings on weekends.

Yeah Sunday is usually bigger I think.

[kitler53]

I just hope the servers hold.  I had a silky smooth play session this morning but getting kicked out yesterday night sucked. 

at least it works sometimes. 

306k atm.  new record in the making.

[kitler53]

saw this on era.  didn't realize you could get this view:

https://steamdb.info/charts/?sort=peak

destiny, counterstrike, starfield, monster hunter all in spitting distance.   hell,.. even GTA 5 is pretty close. 

pretty steep curve after that though. 

[Legend]

Ahead of destiny 2. Wowy.

Not sure what the next goal should be. Starfield is single player but that'll be passed soon.

imo,.. 447k would put it ahead of among us and place it in the top 20 games all-time.   

seems both lofty and achievable right now. 


...I mean, at the current pace starfield will be felled in like 15 min.  we need to aim higher.

[kitler53]

starfield has been felled!   

monster hunter a mere 2k away.    okay, i'm done watching the metrics.  going to do something more useful with my day.   ....mayhaps play helldivers.

So did you crash the servers?

Helldivers 2 is now the highest Concurrent Players ever for a Sony or Microsoft game on Steam

It has passed the previous highest for each console maker, Destiny 2 and Starfield

A glowing review from IGN just in. This might get even bigger!

[Legend]

Despite our best efforts to increase server capacity to accommodate all of you who want to dive for Freedom, we are experiencing capacity issues. We are once more working without delay to improve the issue and we hope to have a fix in place as soon as possible. Thank you

Only if the servers can handle it.

[the-pi-guy]

Why isn't Arrowhead simply downloading more server space?
