I bet this has given Sony a huge sign of relief and hope that they can be relevant in the online multiplayer game outside of Call of Duty, and that possibly one day they won't have to rely on CoD any longer.

Helldivers 2 has transformed PlayStation's portfolio at a turbulent time for the industry. 

I don't think its a reach to say games like Destiny 2, MLB The Show, GT7, and now Helldivers 2, are major tentpole titles, that draw a different audience than Sony's single player experiences like GoW, TLOU, or GoT. 

Its not as pressing a matter because of Microsoft's recent pivot, but HD2 is the kind of multiplayer juggernaut that can help in deterring, as unlikely as it is, of pulling CoD from the platform.
