Helldivers 2 is a fantastic experience. It is a really fun multiplayer epic, and it is a tremendous achievement as Sony’s first exclusive to launch simultaneously on both PC and PlayStation. There are a few problems though, and, fortunately, the Helldivers 2 PC and PS5 01.000.006 update patch notes include fixes for major game-breaking issues.
