How many people play Helldivers 2? Player count

Helldivers 2 has remained extremely popular since it launched, and we’ve got a breakdown of the shooter’s current player count.

Arrowhead Game Studios’ sequel to Helldivers, Helldivers 2, has become a massive hit since it launched in February 2024 with new and veteran players of the franchise currently logging in every day to fight back the hostile factions and deadly enemies threatening Superearth.

Exactly how many players have been enjoying Helldivers 2 though? We’ve got an up-to-date player count for you right here.

Helldivers 2 player count tracker

According to SteamDB, the peak player count for Helldivers 2 as of August 6, 2024, is 47,102.

While this is a significant drop compared to the all-time player peak of 458,709 that was reached in March 2024, there’s clearly still a big fanbase for the sequel with fans logging in daily to help liberate Superearth.

As the Escalation of Freedom update launched on August 6, 2024, we expect even more players will be diving back into the game to experience the array of new content.

It’s also worth noting that this player count doesn’t factor in those on PlayStation, only Steam. As a concurrent launch across PS5 and PC, the first in Sony history, there’s every chance just as many, if not more, are dropping into combat on PS5 as well.

Though beyond sales figures, player data is rarely publicized on that end, so we may never know for certain what the total combined player count peak truly is for Helldivers 2.
