Helldivers 2 has topped over half a million concurrent players, leading Arrowhead Studios CEO Shams Jorjani to revisit a joke that turned into a meme. VideoGamer reports that Jorjani asked players on Discord to “stop sh*tting your pants” while sharing that 500,490 people were playing the third-person shooter.
Earlier this year, Jorjani told Helldivers 2 fans on Discord that they would “sh*t [their] pants” regarding future plans for the game, according to GamesRadar. That comment quickly got picked up on the game’s subreddit and pants-sh*tting became a thing. Apparently, Jorjani isn’t running away from the joke.
Meanwhile, the explosion in player counts for Helldivers 2 is tied to the game finally coming to Xbox Series X|S this week. In fact, Helldivers 2 even has a Halo: ODST crossover, though Halo’s assault rifle can lead to some crashing issues. Arrowhead is looking into a fix.
