‘Helldivers 2’ Is a Surprise Hit for Sony in an Oversaturated Market

On Steam, the cooperative third-person shooter hit a peak of more than 450,000 concurrent players

To date, neither has revealed sales numbers, but on Steam, Helldivers 2 hit a peak of more than 450,000 concurrent players, while Suicide Squad’s all-time high is less than 13,500, per SteamDB. TD Cowen analyst Doug Creutz estimated that Helldivers 2 has sold more than 8 million copies, and most remarkably, the numbers are growing every week. “We believe the game has performed well ahead of expectations,” Creutz wrote in a note Thursday.

8 million sales

"TD Cowen analyst Doug Creutz estimated". Take it with a grain of salt: I never heard about TD Cowen, could be an old estimate and Bloomberg is known from trowing shit with lies to Sony.

These are believable numbers. Could be near or at 10 million by the end of this month. Realistic Steam estimates from like 2 weeks ago pegged it around 4 million for that platform alone globally. If that estimate was too high then, it's likely very accurate now.

And assuming even a 50/50 split, that'd put it at 8 million or more with PS5 included.

Yeah those 10 mil rumors few weeks ago of course will be realized but we all know that. Look forward to official announcement of sales.

It doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility, maybe a bit on the high side but when you factor in a roughly 50/50 split with PC and PS5, and Steam showing a daily average of about 350k it could make sense.

doesn't shinobi said is close to 10M? or that leaker? by this time, it should have sold it something around 10M

Yes weeks ago. I said it'll hit 10 million as well last month lol

I'd like to know the official numbers.

The success of this game is very interesting and might make publishers rethink how they price games. I gave it a chance because $40 seemed like an interesting proposition but I wouldn't have bought it for $70 at all.

I would much rather have properly priced games that don't ever enter deep sales than what we have right now, it just seems a lot more healthy and works as an incentive to buy games on release (not that I mind AAA $70 games that justify their price).

I made a comment about this few weeks ago, $40 price point was a huge sell as well and other devs might take note!

 

[Danja1187]

I think it's close to that either way. A resounding success and it's all thanks to Shu... Nothing for Jim Ryan and Hermen

15 million the minimum this year.

 

[Gamernyc78]

Hopefully we hear more news soon about sales from the ppl tht know for sure.

 

[ethomaz]

The only data we have is dev saying it crossed 1 million around the launch.

They had strong sales after first week so it could have moved a lot but not sure if enough to 8 million.

 

[flaccidsnake]

I love this game, but it is still buggy as fuck. The matchmaking/networking shit is mostly good now but many gameplay bugs remain. I played 3 rounds the other night and all 3 had some technical issue that ended the mission before extraction.

CEO confirmed it was over 3 million like a week and half after launch

I'm confused. I was told every PC owner is a dirty pirate. How can it be that Helldivers 2 SELLS millions?

It’s an online live service game.

Come back when a DRM free offline game does these numbers.

It has been the best selling game in Steam during a month and a half, and after that continued as a close top 2 and sometimes time 1. An estimation of over 8M when the CEO said sales were around 50-50% aprox. distributed per platform means over 4M on PC aprox in a month and a week.
