How many times has “Helldivers 2” been sold so far? While publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment remained silent, an analyst threw out a number.
“Helldivers 2,” developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, became a surprise success in February. And even after weeks, the access numbers remain almost constant, as a glance at the Steam stats green.
“Helldivers 2” was released on February 8, 2024 for PS5 and PC. And more than a million sales were already made at the launch. Subsequently, the weekly numbers increased, which was described by industry observers as an unusual and rare trend.
Eight million Helldivers 2 games sold already?
How many copies of “Helldivers 2” have been sold in the past few weeks? After Johan Pilestedt, CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios, suggested some time ago that sales had exceeded the 3 million mark, the latest estimates suggest that the sales figure that has now been reached is significantly higher.
In a recent report by Bloomberg Jason Schreier quotes analyst Doug Creutz from TD Cowen, who estimates that the co-op shooter found over 8 million buyers.
Neither Sony nor Arrowhead have officially confirmed this number, but Creutz added that sales are increasing weekly. “We believe the game far exceeded expectations,†said the analyst.
As a rule, sales figures decrease after the launch of a game, which of course does not mean the total number of units sold, but rather the weekly or monthly sales figures. “Helldivers 2”, on the other hand, shows an opposite curve, which has recently been commented on several times:
PS5 version is ahead
The unconfirmed sales figure of eight million is supported by the UK sales charts. “Helldivers 2” was the best-selling title in February after increasing weekly sales several times.
The British charts also suggest that the PS5 version is slightly more successful than its PC counterpart. The PS5 accounted for 57 percent of sales. It remains to be seen whether this relationship can be transferred to other markets.
The PSN charts provided an indication of the success of the shooter on the Sony console. “Helldivers 2” took first place on the PlayStation Store in February, just ahead of “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth”.
