Hellblade 2 is selling terribly. Only a small number of players are interested in the game

This week, the list of May’s best-selling games in the European market emerged, and Hellblade 2 was absent from it.

The visually stunning project from Ninja Theory did not even make the top 100 best-selling games of last month.

GamesIndustry.biz editor-in-chief Christopher Dring confirmed that most games launching into Xbox Game Pass enjoy much greater popularity and chart in top-10 lists, whereas Hellblade 2 failed to break into the top 100.

Starfield also debuted on Xbox Game Pass and became one of the best-sellers (top 10) in its launch month.

Hellblade 2 is showing increasingly poor results on Steam. Over the past 24 hours, the game’s concurrent player peak reached just 100 people, and it is not uncommon for that figure to drop to 30–40 players.

Given the current situation, it would hardly be surprising if work on Hellblade 2 for PlayStation 5 begins in the near future (or is already underway). After all, Microsoft certainly wants to make money on the project.
