Amazon is currently offering the best price yet for PlayStation's biggest console exclusive of 2024. Prime members can take advantage of the retailer's Secret Level sale to grab the physical edition of Helldivers 2 on PS5 for just $25, down from $40. Additionally, the PC version is also on sale, with Steam keys for Helldivers 2 priced at $32, and the Super Citizen Edition available for $48, reduced from $60.
Developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, Helldivers 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the 2015 top-down shooter. While both games feature cooperative gameplay, the sequel shifts from a top-down perspective to an over-the-shoulder camera angle. The original game's twin-stick shooting mechanics were impressive, but Helldivers 2's third-person gunplay is even better. The game received a 9/10 in our review, thanks to its diverse randomized mission objectives, well-crafted progression system, and quirky story, making it a consistently enjoyable experience with friends.
Helldivers 2 became a huge success upon its release for PS5 and PC in February. It claimed the title of the fastest-selling game published by PlayStation. The $40 launch price likely contributed to its success, but it's still a notable achievement given the competition from other popular PlayStation franchises. By the first half of 2024, it had become the best-selling game of the year. Currently, it holds the No. 2 spot, just behind EA Sports College Football 25, which is also on sale at Amazon for 50% off.
Several other PlayStation Studios games are discounted as part of the holiday promotion. Notable deals include Sackboy: A Big Adventure for $12.59 (originally $60), God of War for $20 (originally $50), and Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut for $48 (originally $60). PC gamers can also find Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Steam codes for $27 (originally $60), though this deal doesn't require a Prime membership.
