Is Helldivers 2 Down Right Now?

Despite problems at launch, Helldivers 2 servers have been pretty stable, and the issues with online matchmaking are pretty much gone. If you are experiencing these problems, you can still play with friends and use LFG channels within the game’s Discord.

However, despite staying up, players are still regularly unable to connect to the game, and that is owed entirely to server capacity issues. The developers at Arrowhead have acknowledged it many times, but there isn’t yet any known ETA on a complete fix.

The most recent statement was tweeted out on Feb. 17, acknowledging the ongoing problem with a commitment to fixing it. However, nothing has been said since, and the issues remain. Though, it’s possible weekdays will be less crowded so you might be able to get games in then. Weekends seem to be entirely hopeless unless you get in early enough, so keep that in mind when trying to connect.

How to Check Helldivers 2 Server Status

The Helldivers 2 Twitter/X account is the best place to check on its server status. The team has been updating players on reports there, along with other announcements. Arrowhead Game Studios has a Twitter/X account as well if you want to keep up-to-date on everything Helldivers 2.

Besides these channels, you can join the game’s official Discord server for even more content. However, if you have any concerns, you can submit a request through the developer’s official site.

That does it for our guide on Helldivers 2 server status. For more content, be sure to explore the relevant links below, including how to fix nProtect GameGuard anti-cheat issues.
