On July 3, 2025, Arrowhead Game Studios announced that Helldivers 2, Sony’s blockbuster co-op shooter, will launch on Xbox Series X|S on August 26, 2025, with full crossplay support. This marks a historic milestone for Sony, breaking the barriers of console exclusivity.

Helldivers 2, a third-person co-op shooter, will be available on Xbox Series X|S for $39.99 (Standard Edition) and $59.99 (Super Citizen Edition), with pre-orders open on the Xbox Store. Game Director Mikael Eriksson stated, “We’re excited to bring more Helldivers into our game,” promising new content for years. Crossplay across Xbox, PlayStation 5, and PC ensures unified gameplay, though cross-progression is unlikely, per Pure Xbox. The release coincides with Microsoft’s Gears of War: Reloaded on PS5, signalling a cross-platform trend.

Set in 2184, Helldivers 2 follows the Helldivers defending Super Earth against Terminids, Automatons, and Illuminate factions. Its chaotic, strategic gameplay, with stratagems and friendly-fire risks, sold 12 million copies in 12 weeks after its February 2024 PS5 and PC launch, making it Sony’s fastest-selling game, per IGN. Xbox players have access to all updates, including the recent Killzone crossover, which has boosted its concurrent player base to 700,000.

Sony’s decision to release Helldivers 2 on Xbox, a first for PlayStation Studios, signifies a shift toward multiplatform live-service games. This move responds to fan demand, highlighted by a Change.org petition with 70,000 signatures, and aligns with Sony’s strategy to expand titles such as LEGO Horizon Adventures. Industry observers have noted this trend.

The Xbox release of Helldivers 2 transcends console exclusivity norms, uniting players across platforms in a vibrant galactic war. With 15 million copies sold by November 2024, its broader reach could drive sales higher, influencing Sony’s live-service strategy.
