Just days after announcing a mandatory PlayStation Network account linking for Helldivers 2, Sony Interactive Entertainment has reversed this decision. This comes after a huge backlash from the game’s community.

Market intelligence firm Newzoo has shared some data on Helldivers 2, one of the most successful releases of 2024 so far. Here is how Arrowhead’s co-op shooter performed across various metrics last month.

Arrowhead Game Studios continues to reap the benefits of its grand success, with Helldivers 2 still dominating the Steam charts. No other game can dethrone it for the fourth week in a row.

It’s been almost two weeks since the launch of Helldivers 2, but player interest in the game is only growing. The co-op third-person shooter, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by PlayStation, may soon enter the top 20 most played titles on Steam of all time.

It seems like Helldivers 2 is exceeding expectations after its strong launch last week. The game has already sold around 1 million units in less than a week.

Helldivers 2 has just launched on Steam and PlayStation 5, and player interest is definitely there. The game has already become Sony’s biggest launch on Steam in terms of peak concurrent players.
