Helldivers 2 managed to take the video game industry by storm in early 2024 but those who missed the hype train now have the perfect opportunity to jump on board with the game's first major discount. With its emphasis on explosive cooperative play and tongue-in-cheek humor satirizing the industrial military complex, Helldivers 2 proved to be a massive success for Arrowhead Studios and PlayStation, especially given that it launched on PS5 and PC simultaneously. Despite some questionable balance issues and Sony's major PSN blunder, the shooter is still one of the most played on Steam and PlayStation.
Over on Reddit, user excaliburps shared a post regarding the PlayStation Plus Exclusive Discounts Sale, correctly noting that the event marks the first time Helldivers 2 has gone on sale.
The "Deal of the Week" allows consumers to pick up a copy of the game for 20% off, meaning the war for Super Earth can be joined for just $31.99 rather than the game's normal price of $40. It may not be a massive deal but it's certainly enough that most interested parties could justify finally checking out if all the hype was justified.
No one quite expected Helldivers 2...
