PS Store Sales Charts: Helldivers 2 Is Unstoppable, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Settles for Second | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

At this point, the success of Helldivers 2 is staggering. The co-op-focused shooter topped the PS Store sales charts for February in both North America and Europe. Of course, it did have most of the month to secure the number one spot — releasing on the 8th — but it's still an impressive result for a game that seems to be utterly thriving through positive word of mouth.

So popular is Helldivers 2 that even Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth couldn't jump it. The highly anticipated sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake launched right at the end of February, but it still managed to make second in North America and Europe.

As for February's other new releases, Skull and Bones sailed into eighth in North America, and seventh in Europe — not a bad result considering the air of negativity that's surrounded the game, at least online.

Meanwhile, Persona 3 Reload just scraped the top ten in North America, settling for ninth place, but it only barely made the top 20 in Europe, where it ended up in 18th. We honestly expected better, but it is a full price remake of a relatively niche title, and it's obviously available through Game Pass on other platforms.

Okay, so what about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League? Well, the live service shooter — which publisher Warner Bros has expressed disappointment over, sales-wise — claimed the third spot in North America, and the eighth spot in Europe. It actually did decently, then. You can check out the full sales charts here.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

It's gonna do what Hogwarts Legacy did last year and become the surprise best
