Arrowhead Game Studios announced the release of Machinery of Oppression 6.1.2 for Helldivers 2 earlier today via their Discord. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find an official source to link too; so you’ll just have to hit their Discord or take this ole Hobbit’s word for it, Helldivers.
At a glance, the patch appears to mostly be for Console versions of Helldivers 2. Looks like those willing to enable the Low Energy Mode might be able to save a bit on their power bill? For Democracy!
Aim true, dive with care, and good luck out there!

MACHINERY OF OPPRESSION: 6.1.2
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!
