PlayStation Helldivers 2 Shines on Steam and PS5

[Uncrowned Guard]

"Helldivers 2," developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, has made a significant impact on Steam, becoming the 15th most-played game and the second top-selling game by revenue shortly after its launch. This achievement highlights the game's cross-platform release on both PS5 and PC, a move that diverges from Sony's traditional release strategy. With Sony's approach contrasting sharply with Microsoft's simultaneous release policy on Xbox and Windows PC, the gaming community eagerly anticipates future developments in cross-platform gaming and Sony's release strategies for its first-party exclusives.

I do hope this encourages Sony to release more on PC. I wouldn't even mind adding a PS store to my PC.

Cross-platform is great but funny it's two indie dev studios making hit games on Steam in recent months. There's a lot of untapped creative potential for games we have yet to see.

Is it funny to you that indie studios do it and not some other studios? I guess indies used to work somewhere else and now they decided to develop their own products.

There's more creative freedom involved and some studios don't take the risk. Even big names release buggy messes at a deadline.

They’ve been averaging 240-260k players playing at any given moment and their servers haven’t been able to keep up. It’ll be interesting to see what other games Sony will be backing in a few months for PC.

Only those who do nothing make no mistakes.
