Helldivers 2 continues to bring in hundreds of millions of dollars – new analyst data

Nearly three years after its release, Helldivers 2 remains one of Sony’s most profitable live services: according to Alinea Analytics, the game attracts around 700,000 daily players on average.

Helldivers 2 has sold over 23 million copies on PC, PS5, and Xbox, generating about $786.3 million in revenue and continuing to attract hundreds of thousands of players daily.

According to estimates from the analytics firm Alinea Analytics, Steam accounts for 66.1% of all copies sold, PlayStation 5 for 25.7%, and Xbox for 8.3%. The version for Microsoft consoles was released about 1.5 years after the initial release. Notably, these shares sum to more than 100%, which is likely due to rounding.

Analysts also highlight high audience engagement. More than 4 million people have spent over 100 hours in Helldivers 2, and 462,000 players have surpassed the 500-hour mark.

On average, the game attracts about 700,000 users daily. Numbers rise following the release of major updates. According to Alinea Analytics, adding the project to the PlayStation Plus Extra catalog in August brought an influx of 1.6 million new players.

In 2026 alone, Helldivers 2 sold over 2.5 million copies and generated $81.1 million. The Arrowhead Game Studios project remains one of the most important live-service games in Sony’s portfolio.

Helldivers 2 is a cooperative third-person shooter in which squads of space marines battle alien insects, robots, and other threats to protect Super Earth.
