As Arrowhead sticks to their current focus of fixing as many issues as possible before adding any major content, Helldivers 2 is likely to receive a new hotfix this week that will include more performance improvements.
There has been some debate recently about whether the studio should stick to their current plan of making fixes first and then spending a little more time polishing up the additions. But from what I’ve seen, most people seem to agree that making it as flawless as possible is worth keeping as a priority as possible.

With players still citing a number of issues on social media, people have been wanting to know when Arrowhead’s next hotfix will be coming, and the good news is that it’s likely to be coming this week. That’s according to the studio’s current CEO Shams Zorjani and one of their community managers, though both stressed that no timeline has been set yet.
“I think the update will come out this week,” Jorjani tweeted, addressing players who had recently been experiencing various issues that had prevented them from playing frequently. “Hopefully it works! But we’ll keep working on it.”

On the game’s Discord server, community manager Twinbeard later shared the same message, writing, “A hotfix may come this week, but it’s not 100% confirmed, so don’t freak out if it doesn’t happen. The next big hotfix is ​​still a long way off. It’s vacation time, and as I’ve said before, we’re slowing down the cadence of our major updates.”
“We won’t be gone for a month,” they added in response to one player suggesting that the dev team should take a well-deserved vacation. “Many of our colleagues are on vacation, so things are slowing down, but the office will still be open and people will be working. There will most likely be no major patches during this time. Minor improvements and/or hotfixes are not out of the question.”
Twinbeard also acknowledged that the team is looking into potential things like developing/improving “ways to mitigate grief” and improving accessibility options, such as adding a dedicated colorblind mode.
