Helldivers 2 “Blowing Through” Sales Estimates As Servers Struggle To Meet Demand
Helldivers 2’s early success has exceeded internal expectations, and the developer is working on addressing the server issues it’s experiencing.
Since its release on February 8, Helldivers 2 has already sold about one million copies so far, according to Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Johan Pilestedt. He also explained that the game’s sales are “blowing through the estimates,” but doesn’t know when or if Sony will make a public statement on the official units sold.
The studio deployed three quick hotfixes aimed at improving the online servers. Players are experiencing issues such as rewards not being handed out properly, login troubles, and server capacity.
