The launch of Helldivers 2 on Steam was a real success for PlayStation Studios. A perhaps even unexpected result from the developers themselves. Launched on Thursday 8 February, the numbers grew very quickly within two days. Beating every other PlayStation title that has previously launched on Steam. In the last few hours the constant growth has brought the game even to exceed the threshold of 100,000 simultaneous players.
Helldivers 2 better than God of War
In fact it is attested as the best launch for a PlayStation Studios game on Steam, even surpassing God of War. The current record at the time of writing is 142,469 players, and by the end of the weekend it could even surpass 150,000.
It may seem strange, but Santa Monica Studios’ iconic game has been ‘torn up’or rather to use a sporting term, it was “doubled“! User support is also growing, rising to around 75% positive reviews.
The result is an excellent sign of how good and correct it was the strategy of opening up to the PC world with PlayStation exclusives. And the rumors of the last few hours it seems that the historic rival Xbox may also cede some of its exclusives to the PlayStation ecosystem, but without giving up the Game Pass. We’ll find out more next week.
Stay tuned with us, because in a few days you will have the opportunity to read our review of the PS5 version of the game!
