"Helldivers 2 Shatters Sales Projections with 1 Million Copies Sold, Defies Pay-to-Win Model"

Helldivers 2, the manic sci-fi shooter, has sold around 1 million copies in just four days, exceeding internal sales expectations and becoming one of the top-selling titles on Steam. The game's rapid success caused server issues, with Arrowhead struggling to cope with the influx of players, but the studio managed to deploy rapid-fixes to address the problems. The Sony-published title is available on PlayStation 5 and PC, and reached 360,000 concurrent players across both platforms at one point over the weekend.
