Helldivers 2 Beats Dragon’s Dogma 2 To Reclaim Steam #1 Seller Spot

Expert Verified By

Helldivers 2 Is Already Back on Top!

Story Highlights
  • Helldivers 2 has managed to reclaim its Steam top-seller spot.
  • While it reigned over the spot for a whole month, Dragon’s Dogma 2 briefly overtook the game.
  • The co-op shooter is expected to stay in this position for a while now.

Helldivers 2 does not appear to be losing momentum anytime soon. Having ruled over the Steam best-sellers list for a month, this game was recently dethroned. However, in less than a week, the co-op shooter is back, returning as the best-selling Steam game.

Why it matters: This type of success is unprecedented for most games. The game seems to have found itself in a similar situation as Baldur’s Gate 3 from 2023, which showed a similar dominance over the Steam best-sellers charts.

Helldivers 2 Steam Charts
Helldivers 2 is back on Steam’s top-seller spot.

The game was replaced by none other than Dragon’s Dogma 2. However, with Capcom’s RPG slowing down after a somewhat troubled launch, Arrowhead Game Studios’ live-service offering has seized the opportunity.

Yet again, the game is ahead of free-to-play titles. According to reports, it dominated the charts in February as the highest-grossing release. It even recorded a mammoth number of over 8 million units sold in less than two months.

Arrowhead Game Studios’ playful interactions with the community have kept Helldivers 2 going strong. In recent weeks, the game has been updated with flying bugs, but CEO Johan Pilestedt remained adamant this was not the case.

This urged users to investigate as they rushed to capture images and videos of these sightings. Ultimately, the CEO confirmed that bugs are now flying, highlighting just one instance of a friendly interaction.

Helldivers 2 Is The Most Fresh Third-Person Shooter In Years.

New weapons like the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon and MG-101 have kept the experience fresh for the millions playing the game each day. The game has also accumulated over 260K reviews on Steam, with a very positive average rating.

In a world where live service games like Suicide Squad and Skull and Bones exist, Helldivers 2 is a change of pace. It stands tall as an example of live service done right, plotting a course for all developers to follow.
