Helldivers 2 player count right now.
This is the live count from the galactic war itself, the one war that PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players share, so it counts every platform. Steam charts only see the Steam version on PC. The number refreshes every minute.
Players by front
Counted from every active campaign. Helldivers on their ship or between missions are not on a front, so the fronts add up to less than the total.

Helldivers 2 player count questions
How many people are playing Helldivers 2 right now?
The number at the top of this page is the live count from the game's galactic war feed, refreshed every minute. It counts every Helldiver in the war at this moment, on every platform.
Does the Helldivers 2 player count include PlayStation and Xbox players?
Yes. Helldivers 2 has cross-play between PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S (the Xbox version arrived on August 26, 2025), and every platform fights the same galactic war. The count here comes from that war, so it covers all three.
Why is this different from SteamDB and Steam Charts?
Steam charts read Steam's own concurrent-player number, which only covers the Steam version on PC. The galactic war feed counts Helldivers on every platform, so the two numbers measure different things.
When are the most Helldivers online?
Player counts rise and fall on a daily rhythm as regions come online. The 24-hour chart above shows that rhythm on the three busiest fronts, with the peak and the low marked in your own time zone.
Where does this data come from?
The total comes from the Helldivers 2 community API at helldivers2.dev. The fronts, planets and 24-hour history come from helldiverstrainingmanual.com. Both read the game's own war status.
