3.65 million PC and console games were sold across the UK during March, an impressive rise of 26% over the same period in 2023. Dragons Dogma 2 and Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth also perform strongly, while hardware sales continue to fall.
Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Johan Pilestedt explains how the studio name comes from a name translation, plus the background on the game title “Helldivers.”
A new conversation with Ship Master Fritzell reveals the development of a Super Weapon in Helldivers 2 that will become part of the story.
"I’ve heard, there’s some kind of secret superweapon being worked on by our top scientists. Not the ones who made the Termicide, of course. They’re all being interrogated for treason"
God, I love this game's dialogues
Helldivers 2 players have been hoping to see a firing range added to the game to test out new weapons before jumping into a mission.
"After eight weeks, the game's sales are now trending ahead of where Spider-Man 2 (Sony's last big release) was after the same length of time. They are, of course, very different games, with Spider-Man 2 retailing at £70 and only releasing on PS5. Helldivers 2 has a lower price and is also available on PC."
wow! never expected Helldivers 2 to be this big hit. congrats to the devs and Sony :)
It's no surprise software sales were better in March compared to February. There were some strong releases such as Dragons Dogma 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Arrowhead has been very active with content and event updates in Helldivers 2 which is live service done right.
It seems the sale on Hogwarts Legacy gave the game a second wind as it still managed to score in the top 10. $30 on steam and $35 on PSN.
All consoles also saw an increase in units sold compared to February.
It's nice seeing the PlayStation Portal continuing to surprise so many people with its demand.
!!! Its been NO.1 IN the uk - 8 WEEKS IN A ROW !!!
great game!
