Despite the rough launch, Helldivers 2 becomes Sony’s biggest Steam release

Sony’s slow and steady move from exclusivity to a multi-platform model continues to pay off. Its most recent release, Helldivers 2, has successfully surpassed God of War to become the publisher’s biggest release on Steam to date, which could drive Sony to bring more of its PS exclusives to PC.

Helldivers 2 launched worldwide on Feb. 8 on PC and PlayStation 5, and has already amassed a sizeable following. According to SteamDB, the game peaked at 83,705 concurrent players on Steam at the time of writing, with about 70 percent positive reviews on the platform. In contrast, God of War reached 73,529 concurrent players at its peak in 2022, though the game had lost some steam (pun intended) after being out for years before arriving on the PC market.
