Deal Alert: Helldivers 2 Gets a Limited Time Discount for PC

If you've not yet caught on to the Helldivers 2 hype, we've got some good news: it's on sale. A $39.99 price tag is already pretty amazing for one of the best games of the year, but if you're looking for a cheeky little discount on PC, then here's the rub.


All you need to do is use code MAR17 at trusted online seller Green Man Gaming to get the game for just $33.19 instead (see here). It's not a gargantuan discount by any means, but for such a massive game, it's well worth shouting about. Before you ask, yes, this is a Steam code -- go spread some "managed democracy".


We saw a similar deal in February on the game, but that promptly sold out, so it's good to see the game back in stock and available to buy with a new promo code. (For those in the UK, Helldivers 2 is down to £29.99 on PS5 right now, or use code MAR17 at GMG to bring it down to £29.04 on PC).

There's a similar Green Man Gaming deal right now for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree which has been incredibly popular with fans, albeit it's now out of stock (we're keeping an eye on it!). Stay tuned for any changes on that or follow @IGNDeals on Twitter/X for immediate updates.


Since launching in February, Helldivers 2 has been a huge surprise and a massive hit. It's topped the charts on Steam and reportedly sold around 3 million copies, and not only that, it's still growing. Circana executive director Mat Piscatella recently compared Helldivers 2 to a "rare and amazing bird," saying that Helldivers 2 sales have continued to rise in its third week on the market.

Helldivers 2 stands out as one of the rare service games to break into a category dominated by familiar names like Fortnite and Call of Duty. Helldivers 2 is currently #3 on Steam Charts, topped only by Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2, and is popular enough that fakes are starting to pop up on the service. We'll see how long Helldivers 2 can maintain its momentum. In the meantime, check out our full review as well as the best load-outs and more.
