Helldivers 2 Gets First New Update for November 2025

A new update for Helldivers 2 has today been released to coincide with the start of November 2025. Despite being almost two years old, new patches for Helldivers 2 continue to roll out at a very frequent cadence. Some of these updates bring about entirely new content and balance tweaks, while others are a bit smaller in nature and look to simply fix some lingering bugs. Today’s update fits into this latter category, and while it’s not massive, it’s still quite important.

Downloadable now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms, update 4.1.1 for Helldivers 2 is entirely related to squashing bugs. Developer Arrowhead Game Studios has resolved some errors that would result in Helldivers 2 crashing outright, while others would impact the game’s overall performance. Other resolutions are related to controller functions, textures, and the game’s tutorial level. No balance changes have come about with this update, but we’ll likely get more alterations on this front soon enough.
