Helldivers 2 continues to sell well. The game had surpassed one million units sold just four days after its February 8 launch. Arrowhead Creative Director Johan Pilestedt has now confirmed it is around three million units just over two weeks after the release. As noted by GamesIndustry's Chris Dring, Helldivers 2 improved its sales in Europe by 40% from the first to the second week, which is very rare (usually, games start very strong on their launch weeks and then continue to drop off from there). Dring also said over 60% of the sales are on PC. There's a downside […]

We need to optimize the backend code. We are hitting some real limits. […]
