Helldivers 2 PS5 PC Almost Matching Marvels SpiderMan 2s Sales in UK
Launch aligned it's just 28 per cent behind.
How big of a hit has Helldivers 2 been? Well, how about this: in the UK, across its first three weeks available, its sales are just 28 per cent lower than the immense juggernaut that is Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 across its first three weeks on the market. Now, there are some caveats to clarify here: Arrowhead Studios’ hit co-op game is available on both PS5 and PC, with the former accounting for 57 per cent of the total sales. This is accurate across physical and digital, but obviously Insomniac Games’ superhero sequel launched exclusively on Sony’s home console.
Nevertheless, if you turned back time and told us Helldivers 2 would perform this well, we wouldn’t believe you. The craziest statistic is that sales are actually increasing week-on-week. This is uncommon, because most games tend to move the bulk of their numbers when they launch, and steadily decline thereafter. But the word of mouth is actually making the intergalactic affair more popular with each successive week it’s available. Presumably this’ll steadily begin to ease out now the initial wave of enthusiasm has passed.
