Helldivers 2 Reportedly Sold More Than Twice As Many Copies on PC As on PS5

Expert Verified By

Sold 12 Million Copies on PC!

Story Highlight
  • Helldivers 2 has sold more copies on PC than PS5, according to analyst firm Alinea Analytics.
  • The report claims 12 million copies sold on PC compared to 5 million on PS5.
  • Following its recent Xbox launch, the game has reportedly sold over 600,000 copies in just a few days on the platform.

Helldivers 2 was launched on the PC and PS5 simultaneously on February 8, 2024. Just three days after launch, the game had sold one million copies. Previously, in May 2024, Sony revealed that the game had sold over 12 million copies in just 12 weeks. 

However, the company never revealed how many copies were sold individually on the platforms. While there is no official record, an analyst firm has revealed that Helldivers 2 has sold more than twice as many copies as it sold on the PS5.

Why it matters: With Sony gradually embracing a multiplatform strategy, its approach to exclusivity is changing. Looking ahead, this could mean more PlayStation titles arriving on PC at launch, potentially even day-one releases.

Helldivers 2 Sales Breakdown on All Platforms By Alinea Analytics

According to analyst firm Alinea Analytics, Helldivers 2 has sold 12 million copies on Steam alone, while PlayStation 5 sales are estimated at 5 million units. Since its recent launch on Xbox, the game has already sold 600,000 copies in just a few days.

This brings the total sales to around 18 million copies. The figure aligns with expectations, considering Sony last reported 12 million sales over a year ago, meaning an additional 6 million copies sold in that period isn’t surprising.

As of yesterday, Helldivers 2 has sold through 12M+ Steam copies, 5M+ PlayStation copies and 600K+ Xbox copies.

These figures highlight the dominance of the PC market, which may encourage Sony to release its games on the platform sooner and more frequently. However, it’s essential to note that these numbers are based on analyst estimates, not official confirmations.

So, while we recommend taking this with a grain of salt, if accurate, it’s huge news for PC players.

The game recently experienced a surge in its player base following the Halo crossover and its launch on Xbox. Another spike is likely with the upcoming Into the Unjust update, set to release in just a few days.
