Helldivers 2 Soars in Player Retention Months After Launch
- Helldivers 2 has shown remarkable player retention since its February launch, remaining in Steam's top 5 most played games
- It currently retains 250,000 concurrent Steam players nightly, down from a February peak of 458,000
- Events like mass enemy invasions can cause huge player spikes (50% increase to 345,000 last week)
- Constant unpredictable but regular new content additions keep players engaged outside of core gameplay
- Helldivers 2 validates Sony's demand for successful live service games, though revenue data is still unknown
