Helldivers 2 Tops 20 Million Sales and $700 Million in Revenue, Per Alinea Estimates

Independent estimates credit platform timing for outsized reach.

Overview

  • Alinea Analytics estimates a platform split of about 13.1 million copies on Steam, 5.6 million on PS5, and 1.6 million on Xbox, with gross revenue exceeding $700 million.
  • The August 2025 Xbox release added roughly 1.6 million units and helped push the game to the 20 million milestone, according to Alinea’s analysis.
  • On PC, Helldivers 2 is described by Alinea as the most successful PlayStation-published release on Steam, generating far more revenue than prior Sony titles on the platform.
  • Player engagement remains strong, with about 3.6 million players in December 2025 and more than 250,000 logging over 500 hours each, Alinea reports.
  • A $40 price point is cited as a key driver of adoption, while Arrowhead maintains no plans for Helldivers 3 as it supports the Stingray-based game and builds a new Unreal Engine 5 co-op project.
