Director Johan Pilestedt once mentioned it was his dream for his project to be recognized in the same caliber of quality despite being a live service game. The inclusion on the banner signifies that Sony has achieved the same success on multiplayer games as single-player titles.

It is high time for the live game to get the recognition it deserves despite all the controversies and problems it has encountered. The company was renowned for making great single-player content but has proven it can do the same for multiplayer. The director never faltered, and was only motivated to keep improving the game, and being included in the banner was the reward for all of his sacrifices and hard work.

Perhaps this is an early indication that the company is interested in acquiring the independent game studio. Although that may seem unlikely,Pilestedt admitted he was fortunate to partner with Sonywith this massive endeavor and benefitted from it greatly by incorporating the organizational structure that the company has implemented.
Sony Is Giving Helldivers 2 the Recognition It Deserves
Sony has released a handful of great first-party exclusives over the past few years and made the brave and bold step to share these titles to PC. Arrowhead Studios’ project was released on the same day for both PS5 and PC versions and the player count kept growing at an unprecedented rate which isa fine example of positive exclusivity.

It is also worth mentioning that the current status of the game is not the most ideal which is a major blow to the player count butthe players of a rival platform are still interested and hope for an Xbox port soon. It is a testament to how well the game was received that it managed to intrigue users of a different platform.
This live project is the gold standard on how to handle the growing success of a live service game. Pilestedt envisioned the game to be about teamwork and players relying on allies in a mission and it speaks volumes for real-world application, Sony trusted Pilestedt to create a great game and he delivered tenfold.
