Just two weeks ago, Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Johan Pilestedt confirmed that Helldivers 2 managed to reach one million sales already, and how the game is “blowing through estimates.” Well, it seems that the Helldivers 2 sales aren’t slowing down, as the game has seemingly managed to hit the three-million sales mark already!
This was confirmed by Pilestedt once again in a response to a tweet.

Mind, the emoji is pointing “up” which we presume means that it’s even higher than three million, but we don’t want to speculate about that.
In addition to that, Pilestedt has also confirmed that Helldivers 2’s current server cap for concurrent players is at 800,000, and yes, this is for both the PS5 and PC combined, given the game shares servers for both platforms.
We expect the @helldivers2 servers to hit the 800,000 CCU max capacity in 3-4 hours. There might be light queues to get in at peak.
Also, how crazy is this message from a studio of ~100 devs? 🤟

Now, with the servers holding up, Arrowhead can now focus on game improvements. Not only that, but Pilestedt also teased that “exciting things” are upcoming for the game. Hopefully, these exciting things include the promised new enemies, biomes and more, which will be available to all players for free!
Our Take on Why Hellidivers 2 Continues to Sell
With a fun gameplay loop, a Battle Pass done right and now with the servers seemingly stable, we wouldn’t be surprised to see it sell more especially with strong word of mouth behind it. There’s a lot of things to love in the game, which we discuss in our review.
Do you think Helldivers 2 will continue to sell or has it reached its plateue? Sound off in the comments.
