Helldivers 2′s latest patch is relatively minor compared to, say, Baldur’s Gate 3, but it does feature an important fix or two. One bizarre but potentially damaging problem was that if your profile had too many friends on it, the game would crash.

There’s also a matchmaking fix because, as with a handful of online-only games (I’m looking at you, Payday 3), Helldivers 2 had launch issues, meaning you could have trouble getting into a match. The game should be more stable, too. It’s not a trainwreck by any means, but we’ve seen a few people tweeting about it crashing their PlayStation 5.

These, then, are all the patch notes for Helldivers 2 update patch 01.000.006:
