Helldivers 2 has achieved remarkable success following its launch earlier this year, partly due to its availability on PC.
Helldivers 2, a cooperative third-person shooter developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony, launched simultaneously on PlayStation 5 (PS5) and PC in February 2024.
This departure from Sony's traditional release strategy aimed to tap into the growing PC gaming market. The decision to release Helldivers 2 on both PS5 and PC on the same day was a departure from Sony's usual practice of delaying PC ports.
The game takes players into a dystopian future where they battle against alien forces in intense top-down shooting action. Building upon the success of its predecessor, Helldivers 2 offers enhanced graphics, refined mechanics, and a deeper narrative, creating an immersive cooperative gaming experience.
In just a few months, it has also gained popularity as one of the best co-op shooter games. In one of his tweets, Mat Piscatella, an industry analyst at Circana (formerly NPD group), shared insights on Helldivers 2's performance.
