Sony Interactive Entertainment has confirmed that Helldivers 2 has crossed 22.9 million lifetime players across PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC as of August 9, 2026. The figure, quietly tucked into the game's PlayStation Plus Extra announcement, also confirms a Sony Pictures film adaptation of the franchise for November 10, 2027.

Variety reports Dave Bautista has closed his deal to replace Ryan Hurst as Kratos in Amazon’s live-action God of War series after Hurst was forced to exit due to a torn bicep. The recast means Kratos’ scenes will need to be reshot in Vancouver, and neither Amazon Studios nor PlayStation Productions has confirmed the casting on the record.
