The relationship between PlayStation and Xbox is going through an unexpectedly close moment, and the success of Helldivers 2 in its arrival on Microsoft’s console is good proof of this. The game, originally published under the PlayStation Studios label, has not only debuted on Xbox this summer, but has also already reached the number one spot on the Xbox Store, surpassing all other titles in digital sales.

This milestone represents a significant change in Sony’s strategy, which until recently kept its own productions tied exclusively to its console. However, with the progressive leap to PC and now also to Xbox, it seems that the company is seeking to expand its audience in the field of games as a service.

Helldivers 2 dominates on Xbox and leaves the door open to more games

Helldivers 2 is a cooperative shooter with clear references to Starship Troopers, in which teams of up to four players must survive in intense battlefields filled with alien insects and galactic threats. Its mix of frantic action, strategy, and shared progression has made it a global phenomenon since its release, and now it also shines on Xbox.

The immediate success on the Store could be the signal Sony needed to bring more projects to Microsoft’s console, following the same path it opened with Helldivers 2. We remind you that a new update for the game has arrived today, in case you don’t know the new additions, you can find out now through the following link.
