The hugely-popular Helldivers 2 has sold 12m copies on PC and PlayStation 5, enough to become Sony’s fastest-selling PlayStation game of all time.
Thanks in large part to its wild success on Steam, the PlayStation-published breakout hit shifted around 1m more than the previous record holder, 2022’s God of War Ragnarök.
Sony confirmed the sales record today in its just-published financial results, which also revealed a new running total for PS5 console sales: 59.3m, meaning the hardware stands roughly equivalent to where PS4 was at the same point in its lifecycle.
That 59.3m includes an impressive 20.8m PS5 consoles sold in the past 12 months alone, up 1.7m on the amount it sold in the year prior, though Sony had expected to shift even more – originally it had forecasted yearly sales of 25m.
