Helldivers 2 has grown gargantuan on PC, leaving Arrowhead with an HDD dilemma
I recently plummeted back into Helldivers 2 and was immediately reminded why it was my favorite newcomer in 2024. Developer Arrowhead masterfully escalated the fantastic first game to a full-scale level of bombast, and the blend of precision and chaos it delivers is unmatched. Since launch, we've seen the Automatons and Illuminate join the party alongside the Terminids, bringing even more diversity to proceedings. However, those updates have increased the Helldivers 2 install size dramatically - and it's much worse on PC. In a new 'tech blog,' Arrowhead deputy technical director Brendan Armstrong explains why it's grown so large, and it comes down to those on older hard drives.
