Helldivers 2 Player Count Tracker

According to SteamDB, as of August 6, 2024, the highest number of players recorded for Helldivers 2 is 47,102.

Despite being a considerable decrease from the record player peak of 458,709 in March 2024, it is evident that there remains a large following for the sequel as fans continue to log in daily to aid in the liberation of Superearth.

The release of the Escalation of Freedom update on August 6, 2024 is expected to attract a large number of players who will be eager to explore the wide variety of new content added to the game.

It should be noted that this player count only takes into account those on Steam, not on PlayStation. With a simultaneous release on both PS5 and PC, a first for Sony, it is highly likely that there are just as many, if not more, players engaging in combat on PS5.

Despite sales figures being readily available, player data for Helldivers 2 is not often disclosed, leaving the total combined player count peak unknown and unlikely to be revealed in the future.
