Helldivers 2 devs escalate priority on PC file size reduction

Arrowhead confirms file size reduction is a higher priority but gives no timeline for PC

Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead says reducing the PC install size is now a higher priority, but offered no schedule after players raised concerns about a 140 GB install. The comment followed community analysis that suggested roughly thirty gigabytes are unique, while the rest appear duplicated across packages.

Spotted in a GamesRadar+ write-up, developers were asked on the official Discord about the large install. Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani replied that the team has “escalated the priority of this,” while saying they can’t share when changes will arrive. The reply acknowledged concern without committing to a timeline, which leaves PC players waiting for a concrete plan.

Analysis posted on Reddit suggests the build contains multiple copies of identical textures scattered across separate package files, meaning only roughly thirty gigabytes are unique, while the rest appear duplicated and reclaimable. The community thread offers a file breakdown and argues the install could shrink considerably if duplicated assets are consolidated, see a Reddit analysis on r/Helldivers for the full breakdown. That post estimates the usable footprint at about 30 GB, with roughly a hundred gigabytes tied up in repeats.
