Deal Alert: Helldivers 2 Gets a Limited Time Discount for PC

ign.com:

If you've not yet caught on to the Helldivers 2 hype, we've got some good news: it's on sale. A $39.99 price tag is already pretty amazing for one of the best games of the year, but if you're looking for a cheeky little discount on PC, then here's the rub.

All you need to do is use code MAR17 at trusted online seller Green Man Gaming to get the game for just $33.19 instead (see here). It's not a gargantuan discount by any means, but for such a massive game, it's well worth shouting about. Before you ask, yes, this is a Steam code -- go spread some "managed democracy".

We saw a similar deal in February on the game, but that promptly sold out, so it's good to see the game back in stock and available to buy with a new promo code. (For those in the UK, Helldivers 2 is down to £29.99 on PS5 right now, or use code MAR17 at GMG to bring it down to £29.04 on PC).

There's a similar Green Man Gaming deal right now for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree which has been incredibly popular with fans, albeit it's now out of stock (we're keeping an eye on it!). For more gaming deals, we recommend following @IGNDeals on Twitter/X, checking out our latest Daily Deals column, or even having a gander at the Best PS5 deals right now.

Since launching in February, Helldivers 2 has been a huge surprise and a massive hit. It's topped the charts on Steam and reportedly sold around 3 million copies, and not only that, it's still growing. Circana executive director Mat Piscatella recently compared Helldivers 2 to a "rare and amazing bird," saying that Helldivers 2 sales have continued to rise in its third week on the market.

At the time of writing, Helldivers 2 is currently third on Steam Charts, only outranked by Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2. it's even popular enough that fake scam games are starting to pop up on the service. We'll see how long Helldivers 2 can maintain its momentum, but in the meantime, check out best load-outs for Helldivers 2, and read our extensive review as well.
