Helldivers 2 will release on Feb. 8, 2024 for both PlayStation 5 and PC. While PS5 owners won’t need to worry about system requirements, PC gamers need to ensure their build matches the required specs to avoid an unwelcome surprise at launch.

The system requirements are split into two categories, with the minimum specs being what you need to play the game on the lowest settings, and the recommended specs being what the developers advise. We’ve outlined both sets of requirements here.
