The best-selling game in PlayStation history losing steam? According to available data, it stops Helldivers 2 players interested. This may have something to do with less new content and the controversy surrounding the game.
The co-op shooter Helldivers 2 was released on 2/8 of this year and became an instant hit. You could even say that the reason why the Japanese company will want more live service titles. But the interest of players on Steam is gradually falling, as shown by SteamDB.
At the time of release, Helldivers 2 scored incredible 458,709 concurrent players on Steam. Gradually this number decreased and today it is about only 10% of this success. As noted by the Forbes server, yesterday, June 30, the fight for democracy had a peak of 45,315 people.
What is the reason for such a decline? He is definitely one less new content. Helldivers 2 only received new weapons, additional equipment and different enemy variants. However, not much has changed in terms of gameplay, which may gradually start to bore the player. Success is another reason here. There was a lot of talk about Helldivers 2 and the game could also attract players who are not big fans of the live service and just want to play the game and then put it down.
The third reason is the controversy over the PlayStation Network account. Because of him, Helldivers 2 is not sold in 177 countries of the world. Although before that the game was normally available there.
Helldivers 2 sold on 5/5/2024 12 million pieces. It is the fastest selling Sony game in PlayStation history. The company is preparing a number of other live service games. A shooter will be released this year Concordreminiscent of Blizzard's Overwatch.
