“HELLDIVERS 2,” which had been criticized by users for failing to resolve server instability, began to stabilize after being kicked for 15 minutes of no server surge. The number of dislikes also decreased and user ratings rose to “generally positive.”
Helldivers 2, which ranked first on the world’s best-selling games chart on Steam upon its release on the 8th and remained there for nearly three weeks, has been experiencing frequent server connection errors due to high number of users since its launch. As a result, the overall user rating dropped to “complex” due to the lack of recommendation by many people who could not enjoy the game adequately.
Subsequently the number of connected users was limited, but as access continued to become difficult, the development team even forced the connection to be closed if there was no connection for 15 minutes starting from the 22nd. Furthermore, the server was further strengthened to allow up to 700,000 people to be connected simultaneously, and attention was paid to resolving user complaints, which gradually stabilized.
The overall user rating also returned to “generally positive” (140,281 participants, 77% positive) and after the 22nd the rating increased to “very positive” (29,292 participants, 90% positive). The number of concurrent users of Hell Divers 2 surpassed 400,000 on the 19th and remained stable for a week.

The game is set 100 years after the previous game and tells the story of a new gathering of Helldivers to combat the threats of the automatons and Terminians that threaten Super Earth. Barring criticism about server access and security programs, it’s well-received for its striking feel and ability to comfortably overcome friendly fire.
In addition to this, Nightingale and Dead by Daylight were eliminated from the rankings, while Insised and Granblue Fantasy: Relink reappeared in 9th and 10th place.
In the TOP 20 highest concurrent users per day, The Last Epoch ranked 7th, once again breaking the all-time record with 264,708 users despite experiencing server instability issues. The number of Elden Ring users, which increased after the release of the DLC, also rose to 108,636, rising to 14th place.
