Helldivers 2 Coming to Xbox – Crossplay Will Unite Players From All Platforms

It’s the first time that we are witnessing a major Sony-published game launching on Xbox. Helldivers 2 has gained massive popularity since its original release. And now it’s finally coming to Xbox Series X|S on 26 August, 2025.  It feels like a win for everyone because it will be coming with full cross-play between Xbox, PlayStation 5, and PC. This might look like a regular update, but it’s something big, it marks a historic moment. This first major game published by Sony is going to break barriers and make the future of gaming more about the experiences rather than console walls.  Full Crossplay & Two Game Editions Sony and Arrowhead Game Studios have made it official that Helldivers 2 will support cross-play right out of the gate. Now, it doesn’t matter if your friends are on the same platform or not, you can dive into the game together and conquer the world. Game director Mikael Eriksson, in his official Xbox Wire post, said: “We know gamers have been asking for this for some time, and we are so excited to bring more Helldivers into our game.” It shows the full excitement. They have fulfilled the gamers’ long-awaited wish. With this new update, the gamers who have been waiting to get crossplay can now finally experience it on release.  The game will be coming in two editions. The first one is the Standard Edition, which will cost $39.99. The other one is Super Citizen Edition, which will be priced at $59.99.  Some Features Won’t Be Coming to Helldivers 2, At Least for Now Initially, there won’t be Game Pass support and cross-progression. Players won’t be able to carry their progress from PlayStation or PC to Xbox. Moreover, the game will not be a part of the Game Pass library.  This is kinda disappointing for some, especially the cross-progression. Chances are that these features will be added in the future, so we can hope for the best.  There is a good response from the Helldivers community across Reddit and YouTube. It’s all about the teamwork when it comes to Helldivers, and with this launch, the squad will get just bigger. However, there is still a concern among players regarding the balance and matchmaking. Also, we still have to see whether the Xbox version will receive the timely updates.

Rocky Seven RDR2 (Red Dead Redemption 2) Location – Full Details

The Rocky Seven Home Robbery has been quite a challenging quest for most players, primarily due to its location. I know you are having a hard time finding it, but trust me, it’s way easier.  The quest involves finding and tracking down a wealthy couple who recently bought a house in far north of Van Horn. Like some of the few other locations, tracking this one is pretty hard for some of us.  As you can see, the game tells us that the couple has bought the house somewhere far in the north. However, it’s not that far. All you need to know is the exact location name. Here’s where to look for it.  Finding the Rocky Seven Location in RDR2 Like there is a hint that players have to explore to far north area in Van Horn, still most players are unable to find that exact location. This is because the actual name of the location on the map is Williard’s Crest.  Since the north side is quite big, it will take plenty of hours to explore it all deeply. So, you must know the pinpoint location, this will save your efforts. You can see the exact area on the map above.  The marked area on the map above is at the north-eastern side. Upon reaching there, look for a wooden house of a medium size. Also, there is a small cabin next to it, which you can use to confirm the exact couple’s house. Moreover, the exact house can be confirmed by looking at the mission’s log picture.  When to Rob The Rocky Seven Wealthy Couple’s House? Now, there is another problem in all this. You have tracked down the house, but exactly when should you plan the robbery?  Early on in the game, during Chapter 2, you will be given a hint for the Rocky Seven home robbery. But, unfortunately, this isn’t the exact time for the activity. You have to go a long way and do tons of things before you can finally plan the robbery.  Most of us get excited as soon as we get the hit in the beginning. Because it can bring a good amount of money. The thing is, if you try to get to the house before Chapter 6, mission “A Fork in the Road”, you will get nothing.  So, make sure that you reach Chapter 6 and finish the above-mentioned mission, and then you head to that wealthy couple’s property.  Rewards for Rocky Seven RDR2 Quest The words “wealthy couple” point out that this robbery will make us rich. But, unfortunately, that’s not the case. Here’s what you will get:  That’s all you will be getting. This is what we found on our turn, you might get more if they updated it and increased the rewards. It could be worth visiting that house if you have already completed the first mission, “A Fork in the Road” of chapter 6.  That’s all for the Rocky Seven RDR2 quest. Just track the house using the location marked on the map. Make sure that you have completed the required Chapter 6 mission before you go. Because the house will be locked until the mission is completed.

Zeki wants you to discover this place so that you can purchase various rare and epic items in the future.  But you cannot access the black market until you have found its hidden entrances. Also, the market only becomes accessible at specific times during the night.  Speaking to Zeki & Finding the Secret Black Market  When you speak to Zeki at his General Store, he will think that you are not much interested in this stuff, so he offers to check out his high-value items in a hidden spot called the Underground.  This is somewhere close to Kilima Village, Zeki sells most of his top-class items here, items that can be considered illegal in Eshe’s opinion. So, they have to sell them secretly without getting noticed.  There are three total entrances that take you to the Underground black market. The first one is right into Zeki’s General Store. For this entrance, you will need to go behind the counter and look for the bookshelf on the lower floor. There is a loose book that works as the switch that reveals the entrance.

He asks you to obtain that shipment from the City Hall and bring it back to him.  Obtain the Keys of the Storeroom and Get the Package Now, there are three different characters from whom you can get help. Eshe, Kenli, and Kenyatta. If you take help from Eshe or Kenli, then they both will give you a copy of the key for the storeroom.  And if you ask Kenyatta for help, then she will send you a letter to return to her, and she will hand you the package herself. Regardless of which character you choose for help, you should have level 3 friendship with them. Otherwise, they won’t help you.  Now, if you choose Eshe or Kenli, you will get a copy of the key.

You can speak to Subira about this riddle to obtain the location. And she would direct you to the Old Lighthouse at the Bahari Bay.  Enter the lighthouse and head to the red trapdoor room on the right side. In here, there will be a small table next to the bed.
