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.
