Helldivers 2 may have surpassed 8 million copies sold

We already knew that Helldivers 2 has been a huge success so far. One look at the game's high concurrent player counts on Steam proves that. The story got more impressive when we learned that sales of the game were growing week to week, avoiding the usual decline many other titles see. Now, analysts are predicting high sales numbers for the game.

Neither publisher Sony, nor Arrowhead Games have confirmed Helldivers 2's sales, but the game has been a top seller on both Steam and PS5. The game has also swiftly garnered a very loyal audience, as shown by the amount of clips and memes being shared, some of which has been spurred on by Arrowhead's CEO on social media, with his talk of flying bug propaganda.

As reported by Bloomberg, TD Cowen analyst Doug Creutz estimated that Helldivers 2 has sold more than 8 million copies, which is in part based on the game's strong sales momentum so far.

That momentum will likely keep up, as in recent weeks, the Helldivers team has been pushing out new missions and objectives and have begun introducing new weapons and enemy types, with much more to come throughout the year.

KitGuru Says: Helldivers 2 is my favourite game right now and I'm looking forward to seeing new updates in the months ahead.
