Helldivers 2 has proven to be a standout release for Sony, benefiting greatly from its multiplatform approach, which has significantly boosted sales and overall performance of the game.

Helldivers 2 has achieved another significant milestone, surpassing 12 million units sold worldwide since its launch on February 8 this year.

Why it matters: Helldivers 2 serves as a prime example of a successful live service release. By consistently listening to player feedback and excelling in various aspects, the game has achieved tremendous success, highlighting the effectiveness of its approach.

Sony has commented on Helldivers 2’s sales performance for the first time since its release during the latest financial earnings call. It confirms 12 million copies were sold within the span of 12 weeks.

This accomplishment makes the game PlayStation’s fastest-selling first-party title, a monumental achievement for both PlayStation and Arrowhead Game Studios. Elsewhere, other first-party titles like Spider-Man 2 continue to perform well.

The financial report confirms this title is nearing 20 million sales since its release in 2023. As for Hellidvers 2, the future remains promising, with PC gamers continuing to actively participate in the fight for democracy.

While PlayStation has not commented on this specific platform, we suspect half or more of these sales came directly from PC. The game dominated its launch month as the highest-grossing title and continues to maintain a daily peak of nearly 100,000 players on Steam today.

We look forward to seeing more multiplatform titles like Helldivers 2 from PlayStation in the future. Upcoming titles like Concord are set to utilize a similar strategy, so Sony’s PC plans are just getting started.

Overall, the co-op shooter has achieved massive success, and it seems that PlayStation is even considering it for Xbox.

This move could further bolster the already impressive performance, given its success as a multiplatform title, potentially expanding its audience even further on the Xbox platform.
