“Helldivers 2” is truly one of the standout games of 2024. And astonishingly, there haven’t been many opportunities to score a discount on it. I mean, it’s a truly remarkable third-person shooter that constantly churns out those memorable, often hilarious emergent moments at a breakneck pace. But now, as part of a sale by Sony’s PlayStation studios, you don’t have to fork out the full price to enjoy it. This title is currently 31% off, costing just $27.59 (originally $39.99) via Fanatical (redeemable on Steam).
If you own both a gaming PC and a PS5 and are wondering which platform is the best to buy “Helldivers 2” on, getting it on Steam is undeniably a more value-packed choice compared to the PS5. For one, you don’t need a PlayStation Plus subscription to engage in online gameplay (and neither does your crew). However, if your crew is split between Steam and PlayStation, don’t fret, as the game fully supports cross-play, allowing both platforms to team up seamlessly. The game even boasts “playable” status for Steam Deck, although you might need to do a fair bit of tweaking to ensure a smooth gaming experience.
