Helldivers 2 Release Time Countdown

Looking for a Helldivers 2 release time countdown? This PlayStation and PC exclusive shooter brings the sweeping sci-fi storytelling of the 2015 original with a more triple-A, third-person approach. If you’re counting down the days, our timer will let you know exactly when you can play.

Helldivers 2 Release Time Countdown

The Helldivers 2 release time is on February 8, 2024 at 4 AM ET.

Developer Arrowhead Game Studios provided a definitive release time for the game via the game’s X account.

Thanks to that, we now know the precise time on February 8, 2024 that the Helldivers 2 servers went live. Since this is a live-service game, this was a standardized release time globally, rather than a staggered launch based on your time zone. As such, the timer above applies to all time zones.

How to Preload Helldivers 2

Now Helldivers 2 has officially released worldwide, players don’t need to worry about preloading the game to dive in the second the clock hits zero.

The ability to preload on PS5 arrived within the days before release. Most games on PS5 are available to download early in the days leading up to launch. As a first-party Sony game, Helldivers 2 likely wasn’t any different.

Steam preloads are a different matter, meaning you weren’t able to start downloading Helldivers 2 on PC until the countdown hit zero. Of course, if that changes we’ll update this guide!

That’s all on the Helldivers 2 release time. For more on the game, check out whether you can play Helldivers 2 solo, and whether the game has crossplay.
