Helldivers 2 will be released on Xbox Series X on August 26, 2024, following its February 2024 launch on PlayStation 5 and PC. Game Director Mikael Eriksson expressed excitement about expanding the player base, which will enable more storytelling opportunities. The game will feature cross-play among platforms. Sony has historically been cautious with its first-party titles on rival consoles, making this release noteworthy. Additionally, the launch coincides with the debut of Gears of War on PlayStation, raising questions about publishing strategies. Helldivers 2 faced challenges on PC, including review-bombing, and Sony's PSN requirements were later reversed to improve accessibility.
"We know gamers have been asking for this for some time and we are so excited to bring more Helldivers into our game. We have so much more in store for the future months and years - and the more players we have, the more stories we can tell!" - Game Director Mikael Eriksson
The game will also have cross-play available across platforms.
Helldivers 2 launched in February 2024 for PlayStation 5 and PC, though its journey on PC hasn't been without PSN-induced bumps in the road.
Sony quickly reversed its reviled PSN account requirements for PC users, which would have prohibited Helldivers from playing in regions where PSN isn't available.
