Helldivers 2 continues to face significant performance struggles, and according to CEO Shams Jorjani, these problems won’t be resolved anytime soon. Jorjani recently addressed player concerns directly, warning that meaningful improvements may still be “many more months” away.
Ongoing Technical Problems Frustrate Players
For several months, the community has been dealing with worsening performance issues across various platforms. Arrowhead Game Studios has acknowledged these problems multiple times, emphasizing that optimization will be a long-term effort rather than a quick fix.
Despite several updates, players continue to experience frame rate drops, stuttering, and inconsistent performance during large-scale missions. The lack of short-term solutions has led to growing frustration within the player base, particularly as the game’s popularity remains high.
Jorjani’s Response to Players
In Helldivers 2’s official Discord server, a player asked about the timeline for a potential performance patch. Jorjani’s reply was blunt but honest: “Performance will take many many more months of work to get to even more meaningful improvement.”
While the comment may disappoint fans hoping for immediate relief, many appreciated Jorjani’s transparency. The CEO has built a reputation for engaging directly with the community and providing straightforward updates, even when the news isn’t positive.
Helldivers 2’s Long-Term Future
Despite the technical hurdles, Arrowhead Game Studios appears committed to maintaining and improving Helldivers 2 for the long haul. Jorjani has previously confirmed that there are no plans for a Helldivers 3, instead comparing the game’s long-term vision to RuneScape — a title known for its continuous evolution over many years.
Helldivers 2 may be facing a difficult stretch right now, but with Arrowhead’s consistent communication and plans for future updates, players can expect the game to remain active and supported well into the future.
