Helldivers 2, a cooperative extraction shooter, faced matchmaking issues at launch but received a patch to address them. The game's success led to server capacity challenges, with the team working to increase capacity. Arrowhead's CEO mentioned the game's outdated roadmap and the team's ambitions. Phil Spencer discussed bringing Xbox titles to other platforms but not to iOS. The game attracted a large player base, surpassing concurrent player counts of popular titles like GTA V on Steam and Destiny 2. Despite its popularity, server issues persisted, prompting temporary XP boosts and player caps for stability.
