Sony’s day-and-date PS5 and PC launch, Helldivers 2, continues to be promoting extremely nicely because it enters its third week available on the market. Usually, gross sales begin to taper off, however we guess this multiplayer centered shooter is gonna keep alive and kicking for a bit longer.
Circana analyst Mat Piscatella studies on Twitter that the sport’s gross sales proceed to rise within the US, resulting in an “inverse decay curve” state of affairs, the place the sport continues to promote even after the interval that it ought to begin declining. Contemplating its heat reception and it being a PlayStation recreation that additionally launched on PC, we will’t actually say it’s that surprising that it has a bit extra lasting energy than the run-of-the-mill Ubisoft recreation or EA epic.
The constructive phrase of mouth of Arrowhead Recreation Studios’ title has additionally positively helped, contemplating the sport lacked a full advertising and marketing marketing campaign, plus it’s refreshing seeing a AAA studio-backed recreation retailing for beneath even $60 presently.
Helldivers II US gross sales went up but once more throughout its third week in market.
An honest-to-goodness inverse decay curve thus far.
Really feel like Steve Irwin sighting a uncommon hen or one thing. Uncommon and wonderful, in an Australian accent even.
