Helldivers 2’s PS5 co-op shooter Omens of Tyranny update has increased player count, according to a fresh report. PS5 players are embracing Helldivers 2’s Omens of Tyranny upgrade, shadow-dropped at The Game Awards 2024.
Helldivers 2 hit PS5 and PC in February 2024 and became successful. Helldivers 2 peaked on Steam with 458,709 concurrent players. Sony said that Helldivers 2 sold 12 million copies on PS5 and PC in May 2024, but the PSN account-linking issue and the Escalation of Freedom update’s many weapon and strategy nerfs slowed its popularity. Helldivers 2 has triumphed this week.
With the release of the Omens of Tyranny update, the popularity of Helldivers 2 on personal computers surged, with over 150,000 individuals testing out the new content. Despite the fact that TrueTrophies has provided some background information, it is more difficult to calculate the player counts for Helldivers 2 on PS5.
According to data collected by TrueTrophies from 3.5 million active PlayStation Network users, the number of concurrent players on Helldivers 2 on PlayStation 5 has surged by 109.8 percent after the release of the Omens of Tyranny update by Arrowhead last week.

Helldivers 2’s PS5 co-op shooter Omens of Tyranny update has increased player count, according to a fresh report. PS5 players are embracing Helldivers 2’s Omens of Tyranny upgrade, shadow-dropped at The Game Awards 2024.

Helldivers 2’s PC popularity skyrocketed with the Omens of Tyranny update, with over 150,000 people testing the new content. Helldivers 2 on PS5 player counts are harder to determine, although TrueTrophies has provided some background. Since Arrowhead published the Omens of Tyranny update last week, Helldivers 2’s PS5 concurrent player count increased 109.8%, according to TrueTrophies data from 3.5 million active PSN users.

This increase is only 34.3% of Helldivers 2’s March 2024 top concurrent player count, according to the report. TrueTrophies only tracks PlayStation-specific data, therefore Helldivers 2 player counts may only be for PS5. Helldivers 2’s PS5 player bump seems far lower than Omens of Tyranny’s near-750% popularity spike on PC due to the sample size of 3.5 million players compared to the 116-120 million monthly active PSN users.
Regardless of the evidence, players of Helldivers 2 are extremely enthusiastic with the Omens of Tyranny upgrade. The Illuminate opposing faction was a necessary addition to Helldivers 2, and the addition of the 4×4 Fast Recon Vehicle and urban fighting maps is a tremendous step forward. It is feasible that the cooperative shooter will be successful in the year 2025 if Helldivers 2 include a Killzone crossover.
