Arrrowhead Game Studios' made an impact on Newzoo's revenue and engagement charts for February.

The research firm today released its February monthly engagement and revenue charts for games across the PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch in the US and UK, showing the PC and PS5 shooter had topped the revenue chart and finished just outside the top 10 in the list of games with the most monthly active users.

Newzoo comments released alongside the charts suggested that Helldivers 2's live service elements could keep it on the charts for months to come, but the firm also noted games that had departed the charts since January, like The Finals.

"After a well-received launch, the free-to-play shooter by Embark has left the top 20 in February, along with Cyberpunk 2077 which was helped by its Phantom Liberty DLC release back in September," the firm said, adding, "Palworld continues to hold onto its large player base since its breakout release in January."

Helldivers 2 was the only new release to crack the engagement chart, but it led a field of five new games in the Top 20 revenue earners.

Sega's remake of Persona 3 Reload landed in seventh place, one spot ahead of Warner Bros.' Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

Ubisoft's long-delayed Skull and Bones debuted in the 17th spot, while Square Enix's Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth just cracked the list in the 20th spot.
