Helldivers 2 is the best-selling video game of 2024 so far in the USA. Full stop. Done. Accounting for both physical and digital purchases, Circana data places it at the top of the sales charts for both February 2024 and the year so far. The unexpected hit is said to have sold more than eight million copies, but that stat will have increased since. The PS5, PC title beat out competition from Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to land top spot for the month, though the Square Enix sequel did release on the final day of February.

Helldivers 2 has taken the world by storm ever since its launch in early February, so it’s no surprise that the game is continuing to top sales charts all over the world. Circana (formerly known as the NPD Group) recently released the data for software and hardware sales in the US for the month of February (via analyst Mat Piscatella on Twitter), and Arrowhead Game Studios and Sony’s co-op shooter has topped those charts.

Bungie has recently announced that the original Marathon Trilogy will be available on Steam soon. Marathon is a beloved Bungie franchise, and old-school fans will be pleased to know that they will be able to play these classics with revamped graphics.

Third-party estimates claim Sony's surprise PS5, PC hit Helldivers 2 has sold more than eight million copies, and across Europe at least, it's been announced as the region's best-selling game for February 2024. This is according to GSD data, which includes both physical and digital purchases. 56 per cent of sales were for the PC version, which has lit up Steam player charts over the past couple of weeks.

Three titles are leaving Xbox Game Pass on March 31. It's common practice for Microsoft to add plenty of new first and third-party titles to its popular subscription service each month, but it does also remove the occasional title to make way for them.

Star Wars fans will be happy to know that Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection is now avaliable everywhere. The 2004 game is now avaliable to play on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and Playstation. However, this game has sadly been receiving some not-so-good reviews as of late since its release.

Two years after Steam Deck launched, over 14,000 games are now compatible with Valve’s handheld.

An underrated EA-published game from 2009, The Saboteur, is finally available on Steam, and at a massive 50% discount until March 21. The Saboteur was developed by the now-defunct Pandemic Studios and released in 2009 for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. Even though The Saboteur was available on PC at the time of its initial launch, it's just now made its way to Steam a whopping 15 years later.

Three more classic Mario Game Boy games are coming to Switch Online.

Roughly one year after Nintendo closed the e-store for the 3DS the company has now caused the leading 3DS emulator, Citra, to cease development, creating a vacuum for the console’s game preservation and access. The end of Citra is collateral damage resulting from the latest of Nintendo’s aggressive litigation decisions. This is an inarguably tragic result for game preservation. Fans with the resources to purchase increasingly expensive 3DS hardware and game titles on the secondary market do nothing to financially benefit either Nintendo or the original publishers. Nintendo has harmed access to games it has no financial stake in.
