Helldivers 2 has “performed beyond expectations” and sold more than 8 million

Helldivers 2 has sold over 8 million copies.

That depends Bloomberg and analyst Doug Kreutz, who estimated that the game's performance “exceeded expectations” of publisher Sony and developer Arrowhead.

Although Sony has yet to confirm sales figures, Kreutz believes Helldivers 2 has likely crossed the 8 million mark, with sales growing “every week.”

Helldivers 2 has been a huge success for Arrowhead and PlayStation, and the fact that the developers are keeping us all on our toes is no small part of that. Upon its initial release, it quickly became the largest Steam launch ever for PlayStation and currently stands at an all-time concurrent peak of over 458,000 players.

Emma Kent wrote in Eurogamer's Helldivers 2 review, “With its gunfights full of mayhem and comedy, it's a riot to play with friends,” and awarded it four stars.

Helldivers 2's creative director recently responded to fans pitting the Helldivers 2 series against Halo, saying that “we need more empathy and unity in the world, and less rivalry.”
