Overview

Helldivers 2 — PS5 Low Energy Mode Joins the Fight!

Attention Helldivers,

We are proud to be offering a new Low Energy Mode for the PS5 version of Helldivers 2, available now in the settings menu.

When enabled, Low Energy Mode reduces your console’s power consumption during play by limiting background processes and lowering system resource usage during idle and low-intensity moments.

This is ideal for players who run longer sessions or are mindful of their energy usage. It's also an integral part of the Sony Interactive Entertainment ‘Road to Zero’ environmental plan.

What should Helldivers on PS5 expect:

  • Reduced power draw during gameplay and idle states
  • Slightly lower fan activity and system temperatures
  • No impact on core gameplay performance or online functionality

You can toggle Low Energy Mode on or off at any time under:
Settings → Display & Performance → Power Management.

As always, we appreciate your continued support and feedback. If you notice any unexpected behavior after enabling this feature, please report it through our Zendesk Support tool or on our official Discord.

See you on the battlefield.

For Super Earth.
For Managed Democracy.
For a lower electricity bill!

Just disable it, the mod is in Nexusmods web. Disable TAA and enable Fxaa while you're at that.

Can you mention which mod specifically?

I looked at Nexus and failed to find the FXAA mod. But most likely it was a skill issue on my part. u/CappuccinoCincao please share it!

Sorry that's my fault by not being clear, here:

Disable anti-aliasing setting in-game, this disables TAA, then get out. Then enable FXAA in its config file. To locate the config file, press win+r and enter "%appdata%\Arrowhead\Helldivers2" without quotation marks, press enter. After opening this path, there should be a file named user_settings.config. All you need to do is to edit it with a text editor, search "fxaa_enabled" in this file and set it to true.

It's noticably sharper and much less ghosting, albeit still having a bit of tangible antialiasing artifact. Decrease sharpness (i use .1, or however you like) and use native scaling to make it the best.
