The highly anticipated release of Helldivers 2 on Xbox consoles not only marks a significant shift in Sony’s publication policy, but also opens the door to a seamless cooperative experience. As confirmed by Arrowhead Game Studios, the game will feature full cross-play between Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.

This means that players will be able to join forces regardless of their platform, a crucial aspect in a title where teamwork and coordination are essential to gameplay. Additionally, this decision reinforces the game’s multi-platform character, which the community had been demanding since its release.

Cross-play confirmed for Helldivers 2 on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC

• The cross-play feature was officially confirmed by Arrowhead’s CEO, Johan Pilestedt, through social media. Responding to a direct question, Pilestedt assured that Helldivers 2 will have full cross-play support from day one on Xbox, including direct compatibility with existing versions on PS5 and PC.

This announcement also serves to alleviate previous concerns, as many players were unsure if there would be limitations between platforms, especially given that the game was originally published by Sony. The company, which is now acting as a distributor even for the Xbox version, appears to have given the green light to a unified multiplayer experience.

With this move, Helldivers 2 joins the list of high-profile cooperative titles that allow for unrestricted play across ecosystems, a feature increasingly valued by players. Its arrival on Xbox in August is expected to retain all the features already available on other platforms.

Will this be one of the most played co-op games on Xbox when it arrives? With this decision, the chances of success multiply. Remember that you can already pre-order it, it will be available in August.
