Helldivers 2 Outperforms Spider-Man 2

In a surprising turn of events, sales data from GSD indicates that Helldivers 2, the cooperative shooter sequel from Arrowhead Studios, has outsold Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 in the UK market after eight weeks on sale.

Spider-Man 2, developed by Insomniac Games, was a highly anticipated title based on a globally recognized franchise. However, Helldivers 2 appears to have resonated with UK gamers, potentially due to its more accessible price point as an AA title and availability on both PC and PlayStation 5.

Continued positive reception and post-launch support from Arrowhead Studios are also believed to be contributing factors to Helldivers 2’s success. While this trend may not be universal, it highlights the enduring appeal of strong cooperative gameplay and developer commitment.
