- In the late hours of Thursday evening, two fake Helldivers 2 listings with discounted prices went up on Steam as scammers attempted to make money off the popularity of Arrowhead Game Studios' hit third-person co-op shooter.
- Luckily, Arrowhead was able to quickly work with Valve to address the situation, resulting in rapid takedowns of the store pages.
- Some digging in the SteamDB database and on Reddit indicates that the group(s) behind these listings have been flagged for scams by users for several months.
- Arrowhead says its "legal department is on it," and that it will "assess everything in due time." The studio has also reminded fans that if a Helldivers 2 listing doesn't show its release date as February 8, 2024, it's fake.
