Helldivers 2 is currently #1 on the Steam top sellers list for paid games in the US. It's ahead of Palworld. It's also the #1 most pre-ordered game on the PlayStation Store in the US and other regions (twitter.com)

Nitter link: https://twiiit.com/Okami13_/status/1755250057161441358 (Now fixed!) Might have to use this link multiple times to find a instance that isn’t rate limited or check the wiki and change the url manually.

Same. My entire friend group went "Eeeeeh, $50~ seems like a lot."

I'd given-up on playing it with friends, and then a buddy from work just randomly called me up on Teams and was like "Hey, I see you've got it in your wishlist. Wanna play this Thursday?"

Kind of surprised to see it do so well, tbh.

That studio puts out pretty much only good quality games so far, fantastic co op experiences. In a landscape where $70 is becoming the norm $50 is a nice price to come in at for a game that looks no slouch. Plus the original Helldivers was absolutely fantastic and had great word of mouth. Hopefully it lives up to it.
