A new update for Helldivers 2 has today dropped on PS5 and PC to begin April 2025. With Helldivers 2 now being a little more than a year old, developer Arrowhead Studios has gotten into the habit of pushing out new patches for the game on a weekly cadence. That has resulted in this week’s Helldivers 2 going live, but it doesn’t bring as many overhauls as normal.
