Circana: Helldivers II US sales went up yet again during its 3rd week in market. An honest-to-goodness inverse decay curve so far.

Helldivers is like the Elden Ring of Rebirth. It must be at 10 millions soon

Love to see it there.Still number one in Australia and new zeland
It also continues #1 in Steam top sellers since before its release.Still number one in Australia and new zeland
I hope many publishers and devs out there are seeing this, and take away that “Fun” always wins over “Strategic Engagement Initiatives” when deciding a games path.

I honestly don't get it. Guess it's a fun game but it feels like it was bought based on memes and FOMO.
Yeah this is the type of sales curve you RARELY see from a game nowadays, unless it's an indie that blows up like Lethal Company.
Helldivers 2 still had a decent launch numbers and marketing for a month before the release.
Atypical sale curves are often the byproduct of FOMO/huge WoM spreading like wildfire.
Streamers being more linked with the PC audience also means that it happens more often on Steam/PC than consoles.
WoM also can go wayyy faster because everyone online with their friend groups on discord.
Just think of how many games "come out of nowhere" stuff like Palworld/Valheim/Lethal Company, etc...
Helldivers 2 is the most fun I've had in a multiplayer game since Socom 3 on PS2.
Same phenomenon as Palworld, It's a fun game but those nam memes about malvelon creek is giving it the hype

Super fun, it doesn't get tiring to me and it's repetitive but super dynamic so tht makes it refreshing.
It's nothing like the Palworld fake hype. Helldivers is a legit great game and it's selling based on the quality of the gameplay.
Palword was just dumb memes and they lost 90% of players after 2 weeks. Nobody will remember it at the end of the year. It's dead.
The game is all about fun and never takes itself seriously. It’s the most fun I had with a multiplayer game since….. wait… I’d never had any fun playing multiplayer games before.
