Helldivers 2 is one of the best games of 2024, and there have been next to no good opportunities to get a discount on it. I mean, fair enough; it’s an amazing third-person shooter that churns out memorable, often hilarious emergent moments by the minute. But now, as part of a sale on games made or published by Sony’s PlayStation studios, you don’t have to pay full price to play it. This title is 31% off, costing $27.59 (usually $39.99) through Fanatical (redeemable on Steam).
If you have both a gaming PC and a PS5 and are wondering which platform is best to buy Helldivers 2 on, getting it on Steam is inarguably a better value than on PS5. For one, you don’t need a PlayStation Plus subscription to play it online (the gameplay is online-only) and neither does your crew. However, if your crew is split between Steam and PlayStation, don’t fret, as the game supports cross-play, letting both platforms party up. The game boasts “playable” status for Steam Deck, so while it works, you might need to make numerous tweaks to have a smooth experience.
This deal comes just days before a new Helldivers 2 content drop goes live. The Chemical Warbond will be available as of Sept. 19, giving players even more challenges to check off, new weapons, and rewards.
