Helldivers 2 sales are soaring and outselling Marvel's Spider-Man 2 in the United Kingdom, according to newly published sales data. Post-launch updates and strong community support appear to be key factors for the continued success of Helldivers 2, nearly two months after the game's launch for PlayStation 5 and PC.
Helldivers 2's strong sales show that the community is very pleased with the game, despite some of the technical issues that may still arise from time to time. Fortunately, Arrowhead Game Studios continues to release new updates that address the community's concerns, encouraging players to return to Helldivers 2 regularly and contribute to the Super Earth cause. During the game's launch month, multiple updates addressed the many server-side issues that were frequently affecting Helldivers 2, including bugs that prevented players from logging in or queuing into matches. As the state of Helldivers 2 improved within the past two months, sales for the game also held steady and grew in certain regions, including the UK.
A new report from GamesIndustry.biz reveals new sales tracking data from the GSD, confirming that Helldivers 2 was the best-selling game in the UK for the month of March 2024. March saw a notable 26% increase in overall game sales over March 2023, with Helldivers 2 outpacing sales of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 within an eight-week period following launch. Helldivers 2 also outsold EA Sports FC 24,Dragon's Dogma 2, and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth in the UK, highlighting the continued interest in Arrowhead Game Studios' latest title. EA Sports FC 24 was the second best-selling game of March 2024, followed by Dragon's Dogma 2 in third place, WWE 2K24 in fourth, andFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth in fifth. Thus far, the post-launch momentum of Helldivers 2 doesn't appear to be slowing down any time soon.
March 2024 marks the second month that Helldivers 2 was the best-selling title in the UK. However, the exact sales numbers for each title, including physical and digital copies of Helldivers 2 sold, were not disclosed by the GSD for February and March 2024. It's also worth noting that Helldivers 2 is available on PC and costs lower at £39.99, whereas Marvel's Spider-Man 2 was sold at £69.99 as a PS5-exclusive title.
Helldivers 2 sales will likely continue to impress for months to come, since Arrowhead Game Studios is committed to releasing a steady stream of updates and new in-game content in 2024. What's more, April 11 will be a notable day for Helldivers 2 with the release of the new «Democratic Detonation» Premium Warbond. This new battle pass will feature three new weapons, multiple new items, and several new cosmetics for players to equip during their missions.

@RogerRoger No problem. I played Avengers when it was on PS Now and then later picked up the PS5 version 2nd hand to finish off the story. It was ok. I liked the story arc of the main antagonist and protagonist, but the missions get quite repetitive late on in the game. Out of all the extra characters I only played with Kate Bishop, I think her name was. Who was surprisingly fun to play as, but I was burnt out by the game by then so didn't finish her story.
Yet another update is readily available for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 players to download right now. Insomniac Games has released multiple updates for Spider-Man 2 since first launching the game last year. Spider-Man 2 earned rave reviews from fans and critics alike at the time of its release, but there's always room for improvement, and Insomniac has definitely improved the game with the various updates it's released so far.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 contains several great Easter eggs, but one fan recently pointed out a missed opportunity to include a real-life tribute to one of Marvel’s greatest heroes. While Insomniac’s Spider-Man games are in a separate continuity from other recent Marvel titles like Marvel’s Avengers and Marvel’s Midnight Suns, they still feature clever nods to other famous heroes like Black Panther and Doctor Strange. While exploring the open world of New York City, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 players can visit the Wakanda Embassy and Avengers Tower — and can even pay their respects to late MCU actor Chadwick Boseman at the former.
A mod concept revealed what Gwen Stacy's Ghost Spider would be like if she were included in Insomniac's games. While she was already introduced as one of Peter Parker's most important love interests in the comics before her tragic death at the hands of Green Goblin, Gwen has become a major character in comics and other media recently due to the arrival of her multiversal variant, who was bitten by the fated radioactive spider instead of Peter and goes by the alias Ghost Spider (who has also been referred to as Spider-Gwen).
A striking fan artwork combines Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse with a horror classic, potentially combining captivating elements into the highly anticipated animated film.
Insomniac Games has swung out with a new Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 update on PS5. Available to download, this newest patch includes a list of minor fixes with no new content added.
Helldivers 2 is an extremely popular game, far more than probably either Arrowhead or Sony hoped for. That said, it isn't perfect, and the developers are well aware of that.
The latest Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 update is now available to download, bringing several bug fixes and other requested improvements. Insomniac launched the latest chapter of its critically acclaimed open-world superhero series on the PlayStation 5 back in October, pitting Peter Parker and Miles Morales against classic villains like Kraven the Hunter, the Lizard, and the long-teased Venom. Spider-Man 2 has been a smash hit so far, selling over five million copies worldwide and ranking as one of Insominac’s highest-rated releases.
may be a game about shooting Bugs and Bots with an assortment of deadly firearms but players hoping to charge into the fray with nothing but a melee weapon shouldn't give up hope just yet. Ever since the incredibly popular sequel in early 2024, the community has begged Arrowhead Studios to include some kind of sword as an unlockable weapon and since the studio hasn't done so yet, the demands have just grown louder. Fortunately, those diehard saber enthusiasts will be pleased to know that the developers are still looking into the idea.
