Overview

  • Helldivers 2 is the No. 1 Top Paid game on the U.S. Xbox Store, with the standard and Super Citizen editions both ranking highly.
  • Alinea Analytics estimates about 926,000 Xbox copies sold in the first six days, roughly 50% more than the comparable PS5 launch window.
  • The game has climbed to ninth on Xbox’s most-played list after ranking 15th the week prior.
  • The Xbox launch featured crossplay and a Halo: ODST-themed collaboration that helped attract the shooter-heavy Xbox audience.
  • Released the same day Gears of War: Reloaded arrived on PS5, Helldivers 2’s stronger Xbox sales performance is being watched as a potential guide for future PlayStation-to-Xbox ports.
