Okay we get it. I've heard more about this games apparent accolades than the game itself. What's next Helldivers 2 debuts as the second highest rated game in the franchise?

Btw, I've made similar threads about Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 Reload and I will keep doing so in the future with other note worthy game launches on Steam. If you don't like these type of threads I strongly suggest you to hit that ignore button.

Probably safe to assume it reaches #1 on this list over the weekend? It doesn’t have much to go already.
I got some serious fomo right now watching this game launch while away from my PS5. Looking forward to joining the Super Earth brigade next month though.

Think it could do it today once we're at peak hours

That's understandable, mate. I'm a bit rattled as well as a recent Series X owner, but it is what it is. Hopefully Phil can clear up things with regards to the Xbox side of the business come next week. Anyway, let's enjoy video games!

Surprising numbers. GOW went on to sell 1 million in 3 months so Helldivers should get very close to that if not surpass it.
Is it out in US today? Are these european numbers?

It's Steam so the game is already out worldwide.

If it makes you feel any better i'll be buying Hellblade 2 on PS5. I'll help keep gamepass afloat.

Mainly server issues and this anti cheat thing

So, are people liking the game? 52% says no.

It's just day 1 launch issues. Nothing that shouldn't get ironed out soon enough. The actual game is pretty phenomenal when it isn't having server issues. I don't see a way it is not a big hit

I will point out that this is not even peak time, currently I am at work, Kids are at school, and that's within the EU.
The biggest will be when the US has woken up, and they have returned from work/school.
I fully expect a higher day 1 cap and potentially a much higher weekend one.

Sony looking at this and deciding day and date on PC is pretty smart after all, no?

I'm curious what issues (if any) the anti-cheat software is causing. Or if that's just Steam players who want to cheat, dogging the game because it's preventing them from doing so. Would be nice if you could look at a player's playtime history (including any infractions for suspected cheating in online games) on platforms like Steam.
If you've seen the production halving rumor....probably not

I made this for people to give to their friends, I included some recent releases and also some older games which I think helps establish a base line.
Helldivers 2 certainly had a great launch, let's hope it can work through its issues on PC.

Developers confirmed that once the game is uninstalled, so is the anti-cheat software.So, apparently this game uses Nprotect that is a kernal level anti cheat that has access to your ENTIRE PC AND FILES and may require a 3rd party app to fully uninstall it from your system.
What in flip flop sandals is that all about.

No Palworld on that graph I see...

That's because I didn't want to utterly flatline Suicide squad and easily highlight that a 5+ year old indie coop shooter with no IP behind it was doing better than it was.

Looks like they've beaten the CCU record for a Sony published PC game on Steam. I'll request a thread title update from the mods.

Wow, I can’t wait to hear what debuts 4th or the next 3rd, even 2nd!

It's just for multiplayer games that are quite dependent on having a large and active playerbase from the get-go

It's officially the highest CCU for any SIE games on PC. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Anti cheat program on PC is not helping them, and lots of ppl watch a trailer, buy a game, then realise its only good with friends and not solo friendly so they refund and leave a negative review. Not saying the game is any good, I dunno, but thats def part of it

Well done to arrowhead, the game is fantastic I'm having such a blast with itCurrently it sits a tad below Spider-Man Remastered (66,436 CCU) and God of War 2018 (73,529 CCU).That said, congrats to Arrowhead on their big Steam launch!
UPDATE: Helldivers 2 officially the highest CCU for any SIE games on PC.

No wonder the servers are shitting themselves. Seems sony was not prepared very well for it being this popular.

It costs a lot of money to be “prepared”. It is better to have minor issues at launch and adjust based on demand than over provision. Then again these days a lot of it is dynamic server provisioning so not sure what the bottleneck they are hitting is.
