Helldivers 2 is the latest first-person shooter released by PlayStation, and it’s been off to a high flying start on both PS5 and Steam.
With more and more players eager to enlist for the fight for democracy, they’ve finally addressed the issues about players being AFK.
Here’s what we know.
Helldivers 2 New Patch Will Kick AFK Players After 15 Minutes
Helldivers 2 features a ton of destruction within the game, and whether you’re calling down an orbital strike to enemies, or using one of the new weapons you unlocked, something is always being shot at.
Now, while some of us are still trying to get onto the game, it should now be a bit easier, as the latest update, 1.000.11 has finally addressed players sitting idle in the menus while they go do something else, taking spots away from players in queue.
They’ve noted the following.
“Implemented a functionality that will kick players who remain idle for 15 minutes back to the title screen.”
This will surely speed up the queues, and hopefully resolve some of the server issues that players have been having over the last week or so, especially due to the game hitting another all-time peak on Steam recently.
