Arrowhead Game Studios' latest title, Helldivers II, has quickly become PlayStation's biggest launch on PC yet in terms of its player base. The bug-stomping sci-fi shooter has quickly risen through the ranks of the Steam top-selling list and if you take a look at its SteamDB page, you can see just how popular the game has become.

At the time of writing, it has an all-time peak of 81,840 players, and over 55,000 current players. These aren't Palworld numbers, but they are impressive, especially when you consider there's going to be a lot of players choosing to kill bugs in Helldivers II on their PS5 as well.

This all-time peak easily blows God of War's peak player count of 73,529 out of the water and sets a new record for a PlayStation game to beat on PC.
