Helldivers 2 Is Outselling Spider-Man 2 in the United Kingdom
Arrowhead's Helldivers 2 continues to sell at an incredible rate. The latest report from GSD (reported by GamesIndustry) reveals that the game was once again the top-selling title when considering both digital and physical channels across the United Kingdom.
Even more impressive is the fact that Helldivers 2 is currently outpacing sales of Insomniac's Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Granted, it has certain advantages, such as the lower pricing and the availability on PC. At the same time, Spider-Man 2 is based on one of the most iconic entertainment franchises. Moreover, Helldivers 2 was made with a fraction of the $300 million budget spent on Insomniac's latest game. The news may push Sony to accelerate its already aggressive plan to port PlayStation exclusives to the PC platform.
