So atleast $480million in renenue, from sales alone. Arrowhead must be super happy.
Not quite. With over 60% of sales on PC, that's not including Valve's cut of every purchase on Steam. So probably closer to $400 million, which is still phenomenal. Especially for a AA game. And with sales like this, if Sony wasn't working on a PS Launcher before, they definitely are now lol.
A fairly large number of the copies were also the $60 edition. The upgrade to super citizen(which just tracked the $20 price seperate from the base unit) was regularly charting in the top 10 on steam for like a month.
Massive congrats to everyone involved!
Deserved! Attending Dreamhack in a couple of weeks and Helldivers 2 is on the menu throughout the weekend!
