Helldivers 2 player count and sales numbers: How many people are playing?
radiotimes.comHelldivers 2 continues to be a colossal success, as shown by the player count and potential sales numbers, and we’ll be taking a look at how many people are playing to make sense of the game’s meteoric rise.
Not that it has been all sunshine and rainbows, as Helldivers 2 was suffering from its own success, with demand causing the servers to buckle — resulting in players reportedly waiting up to over an hour before getting into a lobby.
The situation is a lot better now, fortunately, with players excited for the upcoming mechs to tear into wave after wave of enemies.
This will surely be a favourite stratagem of many, and will come in clutch at the highest of difficulty levels — and may make getting some of the trophies a little easier to boot, too.
But with all that, let’s dive into just how successful the game has been – despite the fact the developers have 'Rickrolled' us.
Over on SteamDB, Helldivers 2 reached an all-time peak of 458,709 players, with the 24-hour peak being 431,621 as of writing – so it’s safe to say that there is still a huge amount of people playing the game on Steam alone.
Sony doesn’t often reveal player counts, and Arrowhead Game Studios has remained schtum on the matter too.
What we do know is that it overtook Call of Duty and Fortnite on PSN in the United States, as reported by Daniel Morris for GameRant.
It’s easy, then, to imagine that the number of players on PlayStation could easily match or even outstrip the Steam player count, something evidenced by comments from the Arrowhead Game Studio CEO Johan Pilestedt.
What we do know is that PC and PlayStation players are expanding Super Earth arm-in-arm owing to crossplay, though the player count could have been bigger still — as Helldivers 2 isn’t on Xbox.
