Helldivers 2is the most successful Arrowhead Game Studios-developed title to date. Over 458,000 concurrent players were enjoyingHelldivers 2on Steam alone during the game’s launch month in February, leading to week-long server and login issues for many players on PC. Arrowhead Game Studios worked diligently to remedy the server issues while introducing new content such as weapons and Premium Warbonds. The growing support from the community helped spread word of mouth about the game, leadingHelldivers 2to surpass 12 million copies soldand outpace sales ofGod of War Ragnarokto become PlayStation’s fastest-selling game ever. However, the game’s sales momentum was stifled in recent weeks by Sony’s decision to enforce the use of a PlayStation Network account in order to playHelldivers 2on Steam. Although Sony rescinded the PSN account requirement, the game remains delisted in several regions around the world.
Reddit user amosimo posted a map of thecountries whereHelldivers 2is delisted, including most countries in Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. ManyHelldivers 2players were surprised by the number of countries that were affected, but others believe that Sony’s decision to delist the game only affects a small percentage of gamers from around the world. For example, some players in the Reddit thread argue that most gamers in Africa are located in South Africa, a country where companies like Xbox and PlayStation operate and sell their games.
