Arrowhead Studios has today released the latest update for Helldivers 2 across PlayStation 5 and PC. The past few weeks for Helldivers 2 have been tumultuous, to say the least. While Arrowhead has continued to release new content and patches at a steady cadence, the game’s drama involving PSN account linking on Steam proved to be quite contentious prior to PlayStation undoing the requirement. Now, with this situation in the past, Arrowhead is placing its focus on improving Helldivers 2 further.ย
