Sony Santa Monica’s God of War Ragnarok, which came out in November 2022, sold 11 million copies just 75 days after launch. According to Sony, the co-op third person shooter, Helldivers 2 game far exceeded expectations by crossing remarkable milestones.
However, the sale does not come without a few hiccups. Earlier this month, Sony announced that Helldivers 2 players will be required to link their PSN account on Steam. This decision was faced with intense backlash from upset fans. As a result, there was a barrage of negative reviews on Helldivers 2’s official Steam page.
In the 177 countries where PSN is currently unavailable, Helldivers 2 was pulled from sale. Eventually, Sony overturned their decision, making it optional to link PSN accounts.
For Helldivers 2 fans, there’s a lot in store. The folks over at Arrowhead Studios are already working on bringing more new content to the game. You can expect vehicles, a third enemy faction, and much more coming soon.
