Helldivers 2 is currently #1 on the Steam top sellers list for paid games in the US. It's ahead of Palworld. It's also the #1 most pre-ordered game on the PlayStation Store in the US and other regions (twitter.com)

I haven't heard anything about the monetization besides it costing ~$50, does it have a battle pass or something?

They have a premium currency you can earn in-game called Super Credits (SCs). You use SCs to buy cosmetics, premium armor, and "Warbonds" (aka battle passes). The premium store stuff rotates but the Warbonds do not, and they do not expire.

This is less abusive than recent crap like Destiny 2 and Darktide, but "just the tip" isn't that much better than getting entirely fucked so I'm going to hold off until the hype dies and people can actually properly talk about the grind.
