Helldivers 2 Sales

Helldivers 2 will just not stop selling, apparently. The co-op focused shooter is close to being a month old, and by this point, most games have seen their sales numbers fall off a cliff — but not Helldivers 2. In what is an extremely rare occurrence, sales figures have continued to rise in the US.

"Helldivers 2 US sales went up yet again during its third week in market. An honest-to-goodness inverse decay curve so far," says ever-informative Circana analyst Mat Piscatella.

From our perspective, Helldivers 2 has benefitted massively from positive word of mouth. It's the only real explanation for what's going on here, as the game didn't have a huge amount of hype behind it upon release (although reports state that launch sales were still strong, despite the absence of a full-scale marketing campaign).

So, it's safe to say Helldivers 2 has been a success. Arrowhead and Sony must be over the moon, but how do you feel about the game's seemingly unstoppable momentum? Run for cover in the comments section below.
