The cooperative shooter Helldivers 2 attracted over 333 thousand concurrent players on Steam and entered the local top 30 projects with the largest peak online.
The new product managed to outperform in this indicator Starfield (330,723), Counter-Strike (319,586), Destiny 2(316,750), The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim (287,411) and other major titles. Very soon they may be joined by Monster Hunter: World (334,684).
Let us also recall that Helldivers 2 is the most successful PlayStation release in terms of peak online on Steam. The previous leader in this category was God of War (2018).
Helldivers 2 is available on PC and PlayStation 5 with Russian text support. According to Digital Foundry, the game demonstrates good performance and excellent images. The project also implemented enjoyable shooting and physics that make the gameplay truly worthwhile.
On PlayStation 5, Helldivers 2 runs in performance (1080p and stable 60 FPS) and quality modes (around 1728p and “uneven” 30 FPS). With TAA, the image is upscaled to 2160p (4K) in both modes.
On PC, the choice of settings is expected to be greater, while “low” settings in DF are advised not to be used at all. High settings add more foliage and better shadows, while ultra settings provide more shadow detail. Experts also noted that Helldivers 2 does not have Nvidia DLSS, Intel XeSS, or AMD FSR – this was called “a real shame.”
