Helldivers 2 Launches on Xbox With Cross-Play

News summary

Helldivers 2, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony, will launch on Xbox Series X|S on August 26, 2025, marking the first time a PlayStation Studios-published game debuts on a rival console. The release features full cross-play support for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC players. The Xbox version will not require a PlayStation Network login, a shift prompted by previous backlash from PC gamers over this requirement. The launch aligns with Microsoft's ongoing multiplatform strategy and follows recent mass layoffs at Xbox, reflecting major shifts in the gaming industry. Helldivers 2 will be priced at $39.99 for the standard edition. The game's dynamic live-service model is expected to benefit from an expanded, cross-platform player base.
