Heart of Democracy Update for Helldivers 2 marks a new battlefield for Super Earth itself. And it appears that the Heldy Bar is jumping up and down to hold a line against the invasion of the lighting.
Earlier this week, the Illuminati officially launched a Super Earth invasion as part of the democratic centre of Heldiver 2. 2.
There are still quite a few heldy bars stopping by today. A quick look at SteamDB shows that the player count is rebounding along the decreasing center of Democracy Update. This is a figure above the peak of the precursors of the Tyranny Update, but it is still far from the release window peak of Helldivers 2.
Developer Arrowhead Game Studios is still a feat for Steam as it is fighting negative reviews and complaints early on in PC Life for Helldivers 2 alongside the infamous PSN situation. With tens of thousands of valleys these days, simultaneous lifts up to 150,000 are certainly a notable shift.
On X/Twitter, Arrowhead CCO Johan Pilestedt posted some fascinating numbers. First, this surge could be one of the biggest simultaneous returns for players in Heldy Bar.
Do you think this is the biggest simultaneous return for Heldy Bar players? 🤔

Secondly, around 2.5 million Heldy bars play the game every week. It’s pretty incredible for live service games, but it shows how the community is obsessed with it.
With around 2.5 million Heldy bars playing the game every week, I’m extremely excited to be logged in with this update!
We have such a great community because we are so happy and blessed!

In Helldivers Discord (via VG247), Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani responded to players congratulating players on count surges. “It’s everything about you and it’s amazing support for you,” Yorjani said.
If you are eager to come back to yourself, I can prove that it is a good time to play now. The new Super Earth Battlefield is so fun. You can also recruit thief helpers to help reduce the lighting threat. Beware of all the chaos and destruction.
