LOS ANGELES, June 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enthusiast Gaming Holdings Inc. ("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.
