The command was crystal clear: they want YOU to join the fight, but the number of Super Earth players in Helldivers 2 continues to fluctuate in this Galactic War. That is, until a new enemy, weapon, or fancy armor catches their attention.
HELLDIVERS 2 – The Most Intense COOP Shooter of 2024
If you've been wondering how many Helldivers have joined you in the fight, here's everything you need to know about the player count in Helldivers 2.
As of 6:00 AM (CT) on August 8, 26,724 soldiers had been recruited to the cause. Looking at further details provided by SteamDB, we know that 20,280 of these brave soldiers prefer the path of mouse and keyboard over controller. This means that 6,444 soldiers were recruited through PlayStation, and 20,280 entered the battlefield via Steam.
Yes, we’ve seen a decline since February 8th (the release date of Helldivers 2), and no, the Galactic War isn’t over yet. So why are people leaving? Peak concurrent players were at a whopping 458,709 soldiers, giving their time (and lives) to the cause. Over the course of consistent development in this iteration of the Galactic War, our numbers have dwindled (perhaps because soldiers no longer have Reinforce Stratagem).
