Helldivers 2 is a co-op third-person shooter where you are called for your duty to save the Super Earth against hostile forces and creatures. But it can be really annoying when you try to join the game with a friend and get the Helldivers 2 failed to join lobby error.
Helldivers 2 Failed To Join Lobby Error Fix
Currently, restarting the game and trying repeatedly until you are able to join is the only solution to the ‘Failed to join lobby’ error in Helldivers 2. This error is happening due to the high server load after the launch of the game.
You can also try turning off crossplay if your friend is also on the same platform as this will put you into the lesser populated crossplay-off servers. But if your friend isn’t on the same platform, then you are out of luck.

Helldivers 2 has risen to the top charts in Steam for the US and it’s evident that the developers weren’t expecting such a huge number of players. Due to this, servers are struggling to keep up with the massive influx of players on launch day, causing the ‘Failed to join lobby’ error.
Helldivers 2 is still playable completely solo, so you might want to do that until the servers are fixed and running smoothly again.
