Helldivers 2 Sales Numbers Pass Impressive Milestone
Helldivers 2 sales have no doubt been pretty good since day one. Despite the recent backlash that nearly tanked the reputation of Arrowhead Games Studiosâ title, the tactical third-person shooter has been one of the PS5âs strongest releases.
More âHelldivers than there are Swedesâ
Eloquently put in a recent post on X, the Creative Director of Helldivers 2, Johan Pilestedt, has said the game has now sold over 12 million units. Thatâs according to the latest Sony earnings call.
Pilestedt goes on to say what a âmassive achievementâ itâs been for the studio, while also offering a âmassive thank you to the communityâ for the continued support. According to a report from Eurogamer, Helldivers 2 is now the fastest-selling PlayStation release of all time.
As announced in the Sony earnings call, we have sold over 12M units!
It's crazy to think that there are more Helldivers than there are Swedes
What a massive achievement from everyone involved in realizing @Helldivers2. A massive thank you to the community for your support,âŠâ Pilestedt (@Pilestedt) May 14, 2024
Despite having such a dedicated following and a decent reputation, the game was mired in controversy recently when Sony announced it would reintroduce PSN integration for PC players.
This was a move that was felt throughout the community, as thousands of fans took to Steam to review bomb the game. At its lowest, the score was showing as âmostly negative.â Fortunately, Sony backpedaled on the idea and at the time of writing, the game is now showing as âmixedâ on PC.
Released in February of this year, Helldivers 2 tasks players with joining the âfight for freedom across a hostile galaxy in a fast, frantic, and ferociousâ shooter. It quickly gained a significant following, evidenced by 12 million copies being sold in that time.
To add to this, Arrowhead recently released the gameâs latest update. Patch 1.000.304 serves to fix a number of crashes, including one that would occur in the loadout screen and a rare one when players transitioned to and from the ship.
Helldivers 2 sales are mighty impressive, even for a game thatâs got the backing of Sony. Currently, itâs maintaining its position in the top ten on Steamâs Top Sellers list, which puts it ahead of the likes of Baldurâs Gate 3 and Fallout 76.
