Published on May 25, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Arrowhead Game Studios and Nixxes have detailed the performance improvements coming to Helldivers 2 for all platforms on May 27. The update promises greater stability, lower latency, and new upscaling technologies. PC players will be able to use FSR 4.0.3, FSR 3.1.5, DLSS 4.5, and XeSS 3.0, while the PS5 Pro receives PSSR and base consoles adopt FSR 3.1.

VRR and dynamic upscaling to tame the chaos 🎮

The update incorporates VRR, Variable Rate Shading, and dynamic upscaling to maintain smoothness in the most intense scenes. On PC, support for DLSS 4.5 and FSR 4.0.3 allows adjusting graphical quality without sacrificing frames. On consoles, dynamic upscaling adapts the resolution in real-time, while VRR synchronizes the refresh rate to eliminate stuttering. Nixxes has worked on reducing input latency, especially during moments of high enemy density.

Now Super Earth looks good, but the bugs don't 🐛

With so much upscaling and VRR, players will be able to clearly see every detail of the enemies that destroy them. Of course, the Terminid AI will remain just as unpredictable. At least now, when a Charger splits you in half, you'll see it in 4K at a stable 60 fps. Democracy has never been so smooth, even if it remains just as lethal.
