While Helldivers 2 was supposed to get a major update on May 27th, Arrowhead Game studios has announced that this update has been delayed to an unknown time. In a statement, the studio has said that the update is ready on its end, and that it is working with platform partners – Valve, Sony, and Microsoft – to release the patch, do its final checks, and push it to players.
However, for the time being, Arrowhead doesn’t yet have an estimate for when it will get a fix from the platform partners, which is essentially causing the hold up. “We’re keeping in close contact with these teams and we will update you when we have more news,” it said in a statement.
The update was slated to be a major one, since it was going to bring in a host of technical improvements to the game. For the PC version, Arrowhead said that it worked with Nixxes to bring in AMD FSR 4.0.3, Nvidia DLSS 4.5, and Intel XeSS 3.0 support. For console players, the update includes PSSR support on PS5 Pro and FSR 3.1 support for base PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
In the meantime, those playing Helldivers 2 on PlayStation can already use support for Variable Refresh Rate displays that fix tearing and V-Sync-related stutters.
Earlier this month, the studio also mentioned some of its plans for the future of Helldivers 2. Acknowledging player feedback through a Super Earth transmission, Arrowhead Game Studios has confirmed that it will be bringing in more compelling content for its Galactic War meta story, complete with revised rewards for progression, new gameplay systems, and multi-week “Campaigns” that will tell entire stories. Along with this, storylines are also going to get more interesting thanks to outcomes that will depend on the choices that players make in the game.
Generally speaking, the studio also wants to release updates on more frequent updates, complete with better-written patch notes that offer more details about issues that are getting fixed and new content that is coming to the game. Wrapping up its transmission, the studio has also confirmed that it is bringing in new vehicles that can be obtained through gameplay, as well as a host of new red Stratagems.
The studio also recently announced a collaboration with Games Workshop to release a new Legendary Warbond that will bring in weapons and gear inspired by Warhammer 40,000. Announced during the Warhammer Skulls 2026 Showcase, no real details about the Legendary Warbond, like release date, have been revealed for now. However, the fact that it has been labelled as a Legendary Warbond indicates that it will be priced at 1,500 Super Credits, compared to the 1,000 Super Credits price tag of Premium Warbonds.
Helldivers 2 is available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. The co-op shooter kicked off its Battle for Cyberstan story arc with an update back in February, and since then, the studio has also introduced a host of new content, including biomes and an enemy variant.
