Helldivers 2 Sales Reaches Over 12 Million Units Worldwide

Sony has officially made an announcement on Helldivers 2’s sales numbers, and have confirmed the multiplayer shooter has now reached over 12 million unit sales across PS5 and PC!

The number was revealed as part of Sony’s quarterly earnings report where Sony Interactive Entertainment Interim CEO Hiroki Totoki made the announcement. To date, Helldivers 2 has no surpassed the record set by God of War Ragnarok in the same period after its release in 2022, though Helldivers 2 does benefit from releasing on PC, while Ragnarok was only available on PS4 and PS5. Arrowhead’s latest game release is the biggest PC title to date, and also contributed heavily to Sony’s sales and profit in the fourth quarter fiscal year which ended March 31, 2024.

This latest sales milestone was made public just a week after the big controversy regarding the game, as Sony wanted to require PC players on Steam to mandatory create and link a PlayStation Network account. As one might expect, this did not go over well with gamers, as the game got review bombed and more. Thankfully, after a ton of backlash, Sony went back on its requirement.

With how Arrowhead has been throwing support and focusing on a player-first approach to Helldivers 2, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it hit the 15-million sales mark soon.

Congrats, Arrowhead (and Sony) for a job well done on Helldivers 2!
