Helldivers 2 was the best-selling game of February in the US and the best-selling game so far this year.
According to Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, the co-op shooter took the top spot in the best-selling premium games, best-selling PlayStation games and most-played on Steam charts for the month.
Despite its February 8 release date, it also topped the charts for the best-selling premium games in the US for the year to date, taking both January and February sales into account.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was the second best-selling game of February, making it the fourth best-selling game of the year behind Helldivers 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Tekken 8.

There's been a lot of discussion surrounding the commercial success of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The PS5 exclusive launched on the 29th February, but despite garnering near universal acclaim from critics, questions were quickly raised regarding sales numbers, with Square Enix yet to provide any official statistics (which usually isn't a great sign).
Helldivers 2 has achieved remarkable success following its launch earlier this year, partly due to its availability on PC. Helldivers 2, a cooperative third-person shooter developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony, launched simultaneously on PlayStation 5 (PS5) and PC in February 2024. This departure from Sony's traditional release strategy aimed to tap into the growing PC gaming market.
Helldivers 2 has continued a surprisingly frequent trend over the past couple of years of titles, such as Baldur's Gate 3 and Palworld, that have blown up in popularity more than anyone could have possibly predicted, even the developers themselves. We're yet to get official numbers for just how impressive Helldivers 2's launch has been, but it has been revealed that it's already managed to become one of PlayStation's highest grossing titles in the US.
Helldivers 2 ranks 7th in lifetime US dollar sales for Sony published games after just two months of availability.
