Helldivers 2 Named February’s Best-Selling Game in Europe

Third-party estimates claim Sony’s surprise PS5, PC hit Helldivers 2 has sold more than eight million copies, and across Europe at least, it’s been announced as the region’s best-selling game for February 2024. This is according to GSD data, which includes both physical and digital purchases. 56 per cent of sales were for the PC version, which has lit up Steam player charts over the past couple of weeks.

As GamesIndustry.biz notes, Helldivers 2 has been a rare occurrence in the retail space where sales have increased week on week. The shooter’s second week on the market registered a 70 per cent boost in sales, and then the week after it increased by another three per cent. This has resulted in Helldivers 2 beating out EA Sports FC 24 and a new release in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to be Europe’s best-selling game.

Also, Skull and Bones managed to outsell Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, with the disappointing looter shooter performing 33 per cent worse than Gotham Knights across its first five weeks on the market. Below you will find the top 10 best-selling games for Europe in February 2024, taking into account both physical and digital sales.
