The sales stats are especially impressive considering that the game has only been available for a few days.

The limiting factor that might stop the game from reaching the stratospheric heights of Palworld is that there’s no way for players to access the game as part of a subscription service. Palworld is available on Xbox Game Pass, however, Helldivers 2 is not available on Sony’s PlayStation Plus service. Although this might change as Sony will undoubtedly want to keep the game’s momentum going, and adding it to one of the higher PlayStation Plus tiers is a good way of accomplishing that.
The success of Helldivers 2 might change Sony’s strategy of releasing games on PC about a year of being available on its PlayStation console. Having to wait that long can make it feel like a less exciting launch on PC. This might be informing Sony executives that sales of traditional titles such as God of War might see a huge boost by launching day and date on both its console and on PC.
