Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Shams Jorjani has confirmed that adding support for upscaling technologies like Nvidia DLSS and  AMD FSR  is under consideration for Helldivers 2 . However, the studio is prioritizing core performance optimizations before implementing these features.  


How DLSS and FSR Could Benefit Helldivers 2

Both DLSS (Nvidia) and FSR (AMD) allow games to render at lower resolutions (e.g., 1080p) and then upscale to higher resolutions (e.g., 4K), improving performance without sacrificing visual quality. While  FSR  works at a software level and is compatible with a wide range of hardware (including PS5 and Xbox Series X),  DLSS  leverages Nvidia’s Tensor Cores, with the upcoming  RTX 50 series  expected to support DLSS 4.

Performance Issues Take Priority

Despite the potential benefits, Jorjani clarified on the  Helldivers 2 Discord server that the team is first addressing "more fundamental performance problems" before turning to upscaling solutions. Since a March 2025 update , players have reported  frame rate drops , partly due to increased AI calculations straining CPUs.  

Future Plans: Challenges and Optimizations

Arrowhead is also working on more challenging content based on player feedback, though details remain under wraps. With  Helldivers 2  set to launch on  Xbox consoles on August 26 , the studio continues to refine the experience while balancing new features and stability improvements.  

For now, DLSS and FSR remain on the wishlist—but players can expect performance fixes to arrive first.
