Helldivers 2 Tops PS Store Charts for February, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Comes Second
10.03.2024 - 16:37 / gamingbolt.com / Square Enix / Sony
Helldivers 2 came out of nowhere and took the world by storm, and that continues to be reflected in sales. It was the UK’s best-selling game in February, and it’s been seeing consistent growth in sales in the US as well. On top of that, the game also managed to top the PlayStation Plus charts for top downloads for the month of February. In both North America and Europe, Arrowhead Game Studios’ co-op third-person shooter was No. 1.
Following behind in second place in both lists, meanwhile, is Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which released on the last day of the month. Square Enix hasn’t yet provided any official sales figures, but though the action RPG has received widespread acclaim from critics and audiences, early sales data from Japan and the UK has suggested that it has got off to a slower start than expected.
Other new February releases can be found in the PS Store charts for the month as well. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League – which has failed to perform to WB Games’ commercial expectations – occupies the No. 3 spot in the US/Canada charts, and No. 8 in the Europe charts. Meanwhile, fellow underwhelming AAA live service game Skull and Bones is No. 8 in the former, and No. 7 in the latter.
Persona 3 Reload enters the North American charts at No. 9, while in the Europe charts, it sits at No. 18. Pacific Drive, meanwhile, is No. 17 in the former, and not in the top 20 in Europe.
You can check out the full charts below.

Historically one of the region’s most popular franchises, the Square Enix sequel couldn’t even outsell fellow PS5 console exclusive Final Fantasy 16 in its first week on the market – a surprise considering its strong critical reception.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: How Nobuo Uematsu and Loren Allred created Aerith’s “No Promises to Keep”
We’ll say this up front for those of you still exploring Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s vast world: there are no late-game story spoilers here. As seen in its pre-release debut via a new trailer late last year, the action RPG’s theme song “No Promises to Keep” is performed in-game by Aerith. Behind the scenes though, the track was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, the legendary composer behind the iconic soundtracks for much of the Final Fantasy series, including Final Fantasy VII Remake. The song’s vocals were performed by American singer Loren Allred, who brought her spellbinding singing voice to the track, augmenting the beautiful—yet tragic—world of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the epic story told within it.
