Helldivers 2: Sony Rumoured To Be in ‘Preliminary Discussions’ for an Xbox Release, More

According to recent rumors, Helldivers 2, one of the most popular multiplayer third-person shooters of 2024, might be expanding its availability beyond PlayStation and Steam. The game, developed by Arrowhead and Sony Interactive Entertainment, was the first PlayStation-published title to release simultaneously on both PlayStation 5 and Steam platforms. Now, there are whispers that the developers are considering bringing Helldivers 2 to Xbox as well¹.

The Xbox Era podcast featured discussions about this possibility. Shpeshal Nick, Sikamikanico, and Jesse Norris delved into the topic, with Nick revealing that there have been “very early preliminary discussions” regarding an Xbox release for Helldivers 2. While this doesn’t confirm anything, it’s exciting to think about the game potentially reaching a wider audience on Xbox platforms¹.

Additionally, the Helldivers 2 development team is actively addressing tracking and progression issues. Recently, they informed players that their “galactic war systems are suffering a minor outage after the destruction of a long-range array on Vernen Wells.” During this time, player liberation efforts may not be accurately tracked or displayed. Rest assured, the devs are diligently working to resolve the issue¹.

Lastly, a leaked glimpse of the next faction—the Illuminate—has surfaced online. Images posted on the r/HellDiversLeaks subreddit reveal the faction’s mage, weapon user, and a warp gate. If these images hold true, the Illuminate faction promises to be distinct from the Automatons and Terminids¹.

In summary, the prospect of Helldivers 2 arriving on Xbox is tantalizing, and fans eagerly await further updates! 🎮🚀
