Helldivers is a cooperative action game that launched on PC and PlayStation platforms in 2015. Its sequel, Helldivers 2, has become the focus of recent coverage as Arrowhead Game Studios implements new anti-cheat measures targeting players exploiting the Super Credits cash shop currency. The studio has announced updated monitoring systems designed to catch cheaters and prevent similar exploits affecting other reward currencies.
The community response to these anti-cheat initiatives has been mixed, with players debating whether the measures represent a genuine win for fair play or primarily serve the developer's monetization interests. Beyond anti-cheat efforts, the game's ecosystem continues to influence other projects - a new Steam-based co-op shooter has emerged that borrows Helldivers 2's gameplay formula while incorporating procedural generation and Fallout-inspired aesthetics. Meanwhile, PlayStation's broader commitment to porting online multiplayer games to PC remains evident through the franchise's continued presence across platforms.

PlayStation might have opted to stop putting their single player big hitters on PC going forwards, but they're still committed to porting their online games in the name of juicing player counts. All good, since they've stopped frustrating folks by insisting that PC players link u…
