Helldivers 2 Sold 12M Copies, Breaking PS' Fastest-Selling Record

"The game has become our biggest PC hit title to date."

The game industry is a place where it's never short of exciting news. Helldivers 2 has stormed the gaming world, selling an astounding 12 million copies within just 12 weeks of its release, earning it the title of PlayStation's fastest-selling game ever, surpassing the record previously held by God of War Ragnarök back in 2022.  

Remember, this has been achieved despite the game being still unavailable for purchase on Steam in 177 countries and territories where PSN is not accessible.

Arrowhead Studio, the Swedish developer behind the game, announced the impressive sales milestone. CEO Johan Pilestedt humorously posted, "there are more Helldivers than there are Swedes."

Sony's consolidated financial report has been direct and generous in praising the game, describing it as 'a hit that far exceeded expectations.' The report further highlighted the game's significant contribution to the company, saying:

“The game has become our biggest PC hit title to date, and as a multi-platform title, it also contributed significantly to sales and profit last quarter.”
