How to fix the “matchmaking not working” error in Helldivers 2

Helldiver’s 2 multiplayer tends to suffer from server congestion issues, which makes players unable to connect to quick-match features. If you’re trying to play Helldivers 2, and you’ve got the “Failed to Join Game Session” error message, here’s what you can try out:

  • Go to Helldivers 2 settings and find the Crossplay options. Toggle the player pool option and include both PC and PlayStation players.
  • Try manually connecting with allies instead of using Helldivers 2’s cross-code buddy system.
  • Restart your PC or console. If you’re playing on Steam, try logging out from the app and then logging in again.

If you’ve already tried these methods, the “Quickplay not Working” error could be a temporary server issue, where you’ll need to wait for a bit before trying to get into Helldivers 2′ multiplayer again.
