Astro Bot: 2.5 million

The previous 15 million figure for Helldivers 2 was playercount, not sales.

How can a game that isn't free have a bigger number of players than unites sold? Legit asking lol.

Piracy doesn't look to be an option, at least in the sites that I like to check to see piracy numbers.

I'm pretty sure:

Suppose a dad buys a game for the family PS5, both of his sons have a PS+ account to play online. They are counted as individual players. 1 copy sold equals 3 players. 

I bet it's a lot less common today with digital copies. But physical copies would have had some huge differences, between second hand sales and games being leant out. (Someone passes out their copy of God of War to their 4 friends, Sony registers that as 1 copy sold and 5 different players.)
