Helldivers 2 is a major hit, with many soldiers eager to spread democracy across Super Earth. However, the game’s heavy focus on co-op play has led to numerous issues with matchmaking, creating more frustration than any bug or robot encounter. While developer Arrowhead is working on an official fix, there are some tactics you can try to get back into the action.
How to fix matchmaking issues
Before using these potential solutions, keep in mind that they are workarounds and not official remedies. Arrowhead has acknowledged the problems on its official Discord and is working on a fix. However, if you can’t wait to resume playing Helldivers 2, here are some methods that have worked for other players.
Helldivers 2 Matchmaking workaround (Easy)

One easy method is to attempt to turn off Crossplay. Helldivers 2 has Crossplay enabled by default between PlayStation 5 and PC. Turning it off in your settings, restarting the game, and trying matchmaking again have allowed some players to find matches. Another method is to spam the Quick play option, which has allowed some players to get through the error.
Another unconventional fix found on Reddit involves going into a game, deploying an SOS beacon, and then quitting the match. Returning to your ship may allow you to join up with other players.
Although these are temporary workarounds, they are the best options for now. If you are frustrated with constant matchmaking failures, give these methods a try, but keep in mind that a proper fix may require a patch.
