Helldivers 2 PS5 patch targets matchmaking, but the servers are still completely down

The latest version of Helldivers 2, 1.000.10, is available now on PS5, which developer Arrowhead says will address bugs preventing players from spreading glorious democracy across the galaxy. The good news is that it aims to juggle work; The bad thing is that the servers are still completely down, and while the framework has been introduced to increase capacity, it looks like Helldivers will need to stand firm in the face of adversity for a while longer yet.

He took arrowhead honcho Johan Billstedt to Twitter To announce the arrival of the patch. At the time of this writing, the patch has been available for several hours, and we haven't been able to successfully log in once (but we discovered a useful use case for PS Portal in the process).

The AFK auto-kick feature is also being investigated, which would help weed out those undemocratic traitors who stay logged in for days on end.
