Helldivers 2 has amassed an incredible amount of popularity on PC and PS5, but players are wondering if the game will ever be released on Xbox Series X/S.
The original game in the series, Helldivers, is an incredibly enjoyable shooter that still stands as one of the best co-op games on the market. However, despite the success, the game never made it to Xbox consoles, much to the grievances of players. Now, with the sequel becoming increasingly popular, many players are wondering if they will miss out on another great game. Below, we explain whether it will ever come to Xbox.
Is Helldivers 2 Coming to Xbox?
No, Helldivers 2 is not coming to Xbox. It is releasing exclusively for PlayStation 5 and PC, and will never come to Xbox. While it was developed by Arrowhead Studios, it was published by Sony, which also owns the IP to the Helldivers franchise. This means it gets to choose which platforms it is released on. Therefore, the only solution to playing Helldivers 2 on a console is through a PlayStation 5.
It’s worth noting that the first game was also not on Xbox. While fans have been petitioning for an Xbox port of the game, it simply will not happen. Sony has never ported a first-party game to Xbox consoles before, and it won’t start with Helldivers 2, no matter how popular it gets.
Will Helldivers 2 Come to Xbox Game Pass?
No, Helldivers 2 will not be released on either Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass. While the game is playable on PC, it will not come to PC Game Pass. It is exclusive to PlayStation on console and Steam on PC. As Helldivers has never featured on other PC storefronts, such as the Epic Games Store, Helldivers 2 will follow suit and not come to PC Game Pass or Xbox Game Pass.
