Arrowhead community manager released a statement letting players know the game will get patched but the development team is small and often has to create new items while also working on the patches. The community has shared its support.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth continues to chart among NPD best sellers, while Helldivers 2 stays above COD: MW3 in Year-to-Date sales revenue.

Good to see ff7 performing 🏆
HD2 smashing records! I hope it motivates other studios to bring on some decent similar games.
Also miss some good FPS
Okay. NOW can we stop with the whole 'Rebirth was a flop' chatter? Still selling remarkably well after two months.
It might have had a lower out of the gate sales than the first one, but kind of makes sense considering how front loaded I'm sure that one must have been, the anticipation was through the roof after many years and many teases of an actual remake.
This one will have long legs, I'm sure of it.
It's not a flop but Square isn't celebrating its sales one bit, and DD2 launched nearly a month later but outsold it immediately in the US. Who would've predicted that two months ago?
If you're Square, you're panicking, and that's why we got the news yesterday of them changing their approach to development.
Square traditionally has insane sales expectations. How will releasing this on XBOX that has moved so little consoles and historically moves so little Square titles help this game's sales?
There seems to be a deliberate dialogue that is trying to be spread that this game is a conmercial failure. Articles like these prove otherwise.
And by the way the third game will also be Sony console exclusive, this was confirmed already. I will be buying a PS6 for that.
There is so much misinformation, there was a double pack which in the first month contributed to around 40% of the total sales but that was rarely included or pointed out in charts like this.
The truth is it's sold on par when you consider that this game has released much earlier in the console cycle.
Isn't FF7 part 3 supposed to launch in 3 years or so? If it does, I can guarantee they'll release it on the PS5 to take advantage of that install base. They will not want to release on a fresh gen with a low install base.
They had been talking about their changes though for awhile. Well before rebirth released

Absolutely but all the naysayers are forgetting this or flat-out leaving that info out because they have a motive.
Square announces cuts and cancellations and you all still defend them.
Why waste your energy when even Square won't?
I've been trying to tell people. Rebirth while a huge game was released in a very busy few months for jrpgs. I seen mad people say they'd get rebirth after granblue relink and others. It'll have legs.
Nobody said it was a flop prior to Square coming out and saying it under performed. Even then Square never said it flopped just didn’t perform up to expectations.
After calling sales of Tomb Raider a disappointment I’m not sure what they would consider a success.
Possibly GTA numbers?
I plan to get Rebirth but my backlog is to big for a 100 hour RPG so didn't buy it yet but I will. I think many others in the same situation.
Video Gamer writes: "While some players want Helldivers 2 to have weapon customization, here's why we think that gets in the way of spreading democracy."
Lol there is literally weapon customization in the first game and I believe it's been stated that it will return. This article is moot.
Patch dispatch from High Command
For this patch we bring you a number of adjustments fixes and improvements do aid your democratic endevours
They Nerfed my 2 new favorites!! The quasar cannon and sickle! Oh well, time to test a new primary and support guns combo.
Keep it going for democracy
So I think they should definitely hire some new staff but just don't over hire. They definitely got the money. Plus you can run into a situation where people are turned off if issues persist. They are well beyond the point of having to worry about downsizing at time in the foreseeable future.
Otherwise stay slim.
My only concern for this game is the Friend request error, fix that first please.
Yes, please, fix the game. Game is great, but crashes (on PS5) are more often then when CP2077(on PC) launched. And thats really hard to beat :-)
