Helldivers 2 has overtaken God of War to become the biggest PlayStation Studios game launch o♔n Steam.
The Arrowhead Game Studios-made shooter sequel just launched yesterday on February 8, but it already looks like a certified hit, on PC at least. Acco💙rding to tracking info, Helldivers 2 has just peaked at 81,840 concurrent players worldwide yesterday, shortly after launch.
This means Helldivers 2 is now the biggest Steam launch ever for a PlayStation Studios-made game. The previous holder of this title was Sony Santa Monica's God of War, which obviously didn't launch simultaneously a๊cross PC and PlayStation consoles, but nonetheless managed a whopping 73,529 concurrent players at launch, according to .
What's more, Helldivers 2's peak player count could even go up from here, considering the problems it faced yesterday at launch. Arrowhead Game Studios' CEO said the developer had been in "crisis mode" attempting to fix matchma🧔king and server pr♑oblems, an๊d servers were even fully taken offline at one point in an attempt to fix things.
It looks like things are back under control now for the Helldivers 2൲ servers, at least from the talk online. Peജrhaps more players could hop on the new shooter this weekend, now that all the problems yesterday around launch are finally ironed out.
It also probably helps that Helldivers 2 isn't retailing for a premium price point. It actually costs $34.99 across both PC and PS5, which has probably spurred a lot of potent☂ially players i😼nto picking it up and giving it a try.
