(“Enthusiast Gaming” or the “Company”) (TSX: EGLX), a leading gaming and media company, is pleased to announce that its data-driven and insights platform, U.GG, has expanded into Helldivers 2.

The expansion is also the second to leverage U.GG’s curated content management system initially developed for U.GG’s expansion into TeamFight Tactics announced on April 30, 2024.
Helldivers 2, released in February of 2024, has sold over 12 million copies, making it the fastest-selling Playstation title ever released. New content expansions throughout 2024 will lead to new and returning users to the U.GG platform where they can find the best loadouts, builds, tier lists, and guides for Helldivers 2.
