Sony Interactive Entertainment announced that the cooperative shooter Helldivers 2 has surpassed 22.9 million players across PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S platforms. This milestone was recorded as of August 9, 2026.

The player count follows the game’s addition to the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium catalogs. While the player base has reached nearly 23 million, some industry estimates suggest sales figures are slightly lower, at over 20 million copies sold. The title, developed by Arrowhead Game Studio, has maintained popularity through its ‘Galactic War’ system and recent expansions.
