Helldivers 2 does not appear to be losing momentum anytime soon. Having ruled over the Steam
best-sellers list for a month, this game was recently dethroned. However, in less than a week, the co-op shooter is back,
returning as the best-selling Steam game.
Why it matters: This type of success is unprecedented for most games. The game seems to have found itself in a similar situation as Baldur’s Gate 3 from 2023, which showed a similar dominance over the Steam best-sellers charts.
Helldivers 2 is back on Steam’s top-seller spot.
The game was replaced by none other than Dragon’s Dogma 2. However, with Capcom’s RPG slowing down after a somewhat troubled launch, Arrowhead Game Studios’ live-service offering has seized the opportunity.
Yet again,
the game is ahead of free-to-play titles. According to reports, it
dominated the charts in February as the highest-grossing release. It even recorded a mammoth number of over 8 million units sold in less than two months.
