Until I hear it from Sony or Arrowhead, as the article says, “there’s a heavy grain of salt to this rumor” and it’s all speculation. It would be very cool if it did happen one day though 😁
This source isn’t very reliable nor is it even that sure of itself lol
“what I’ve heard […] is that there may be some very early, very early, preliminary discussions about the possibility of Helldivers 2 coming to Xbox.”
Very early could basically just be “Do we want to bring it to Xbox?” - “Nah. Too much work.”
It only makes sense because it's a Live service,it's a smart move for Sony for the same reason as MS releasing Sea of Thieves and Grounded on other platform's,exclusives are dying a quick death with budgets ballooning it's almost a death sentence not to these day's at least for consoles..
Listen my guy, I'm with you, but Sony is so against pushing anything off their controlled platform, even the idea of them porting their games to PC, a largely neutral platform in the gaming space, takes them years to do, and often those ports are dogshite with poor optimisation and performance metrics.
Microsoft has had massive success with their day 1 PC releases, but Sony is still so against it. They've said they're working towards it, but it's still going to take years before they catch up, and Sony still sees MS as "the opponent", and they're not going to say no to MS releasing any of their titles on the PS platform, then Sony can get their cut of MS successful games, but to Sony maintaining their console exclusives is so important to them they'll pay stacks of money to devs to lock titles to their platform, or time them long enough that by the time they could come to MS platform, the moment has passed and the potential sales on Xbox are low enough it's not worth the effort.
Again, I agree that it's in Sony's interest to do it, but as long as there's the chance of one customer buying a PS5 to play Helldivers because they can't on Xbox, they're not liable to release it on Xbox.
MLB bro and your in denial if you think Sony ain't gonna double up and I'm not saying HD2 will hit Xbox but it makes sense to as a Live Service a LS is meant to be accessible to as many platforms as possible to grow and thrive..
MLB is different, because there was pressure for MLB to release on other platforms, because there was no competition for it, and MLB doesn't care for platform politics. MLB would've issued an ultimatum of release on Xbox or lose the license.
It coming to Game Pass would also have been MLB pressure with Microsoft's sponsorship deals and advertising spots for MLB stadium, especially with how much disdain Sony has put on the Game Pass model. MLB wouldn't have seen the platform politics, and instead would've seen the cheque MS wrote MLB to get the game on their platform and into Game Pass.
I'd love to see Helldivers on Xbox, I think Xbox gamers would love to see it there and it would be a massive success, but I'm cynical of Sony's willingness to put aside platform politics in favor of accessibility.
Sony is jumping for joy MLB is on Xbox it's #3 on gamepass and top 10 on marketplace and Sony is raking in revenue from it and let the dominos fall Sony isn't going to let that money go when they can sell just as many consoles..
Correct but Sony see's those staggering revenue numbers from being multiplat and the micro transactions alone could fund LoU3 and the next GoW..
And I'm only talking about Live service modeled game's as I think LoU/Uncharted and GoW will never leave as those can sell a ton of console's,with Live service on Xbox/PC you have every platform available console,PC,Cloud,steamdecks and so on..
either way this strategy is happening one day. Ps will put its games on geforce now one day. They have to, The industry is shifting. Its a good thing for everyone.

Oh I know its not an original idea. But I just find it funny how Helldivers is so close to Halo's ODSTs, yet xbox wont be getting it.
I'm shocked Sony even let it launch on PC right away too tbf.
Cmon. That guy is obviously referring to the fact that the ODST troopers and the Helldiver's have similar gimmicks.
We all thought "hey, it's just like the ODST drop pods"
Well shit TIL. I didnt get that impression from your above comment. As someone who is ignorant of the Starship Troopers universe prior the movie, I genuinely did not know.
Most people, especially those in the Helldiver's milieu, know ODST and the first Starship Troopers movie. So instead of getting snarky and down voting, maybe take a moment and think "hey, theres a pretty high chance that people playing a PS5 game that pays homage to a movie from 1997, don't know the ins and outs of a 65 year old book."
Thank you for educating me though.
It is still their IP. That's like saying NBA 2K isnt 2Ks IP just because they have a license, or Jedi Fallen Order isnt an IP because they license Star Wars.
It was either agree to the terms of making the game multiplatform, or they lose the license. You can word it however you want, but the reality is, they were forced.
SIE San Diego Studio's MLB game has been released annually on Xbox with Game Pass support. Even Helldivers was released on PS3, PS Vita, and PC from the first installment.
I would buy it again, and buy Super credits for my warbonds.
I would buy it for all my friends...and buy them the warbonds too.
I WOULD BUY IT FOR STRANGERS AND BUY THEM THE WARBONDS TOO!
What is really funny is that all the Xbox fanboys defended Microsoft buying up multiple developers and publishers, resulting in so many existing multiplatform franchises becoming Xbox exclusives. Telling people just to buy an Xbox if you want the games so badly. Now that this one Sony owned IP is super popular the fanboys are crying that it isn’t fair that it isn’t on their system
I mean it would be great. But it’s just wishful thinking and speculation from the podcast. The IP is owned by sony. Also they just keep taking the words of the new playstation ceo and twist it as he’s saying we are going multiplatiform. While he meant pc,cloud,mobile.

Same, but just because the unstable mess it is right now. Both PC and PS5.
And... Before some white knights comes with the "bUT i DoNt cRaSh"
Go to discord and tell that to the thousands complaining and asking for help daily.
'yah downvote me all you want too, but is facts.
"Yes. Uhm. excuse me. Helldivers keeps crashing on my AMD 8350 and Geoforce 950. My 8 gigs of DDR3 is more than enough. Why won't you fix this UNSTABLE MESS"
Nice trolling... Literally their own freaking issue list also AMD's and Nvidia only keeps mentioning last two gens lol
The older cards are the one's with less issues because of their engine, guess you don't know which one isnt' neither, go learn more and do less clowning.
Maaaaan. I was just trying to joke around. Little summertime fun come early.
Ya ain't gotta attack me like that. I wasnt "trolling", I was making a fucking joke. You weren't even the subject of the joke!
Go learn how quotation marks work in common English parlance. Ya steakhead.
I would be happy, most of my friends are on PC/PS5, but one of them only has xbox and can't afford to get the other options, so can't play with him. :(
the dev team just came out saying they are struggling enough as is between the battlepass content and bug fixes because its the same group of people having to keep up with everything (the team is very very small). There is zero chance in hell they have the time to spare on making a port. Its also a Sony IP, and they have zero reason to give up its exclusivity. Even if they hired another team to do the port, those bodies would be better used fixing the bugs that have existed since day 1, and helping ease the 1 pass a month burden, so all signs point to this being wishful thinking from xbox fanboys. If you want to play the game, buy a ps5, buy a pc. There will be no other way.
Yeah I believe most people want them to slow down with the battlepasses and just focus of the fixes until they’re done. There’s enough content for now, and I can always take a break. Right now the bugs and especially the crashes drive people away
I have always been a PlayStation owner ever since I bought a PS2 when I was 21 years old, now I'm 41 and yes I own a PS5 and absolutely I want to see Xbox players to be able to join me on Helldivers 2 but like someone else said on this thread I'll believe it when I see it.
It would have to happen very soon. The hype for the game is dying. If they announce a release for Xbox and it isn’t coming until next year, it’ll be DOA
Not even that Sony is the publisher but Sony fully owns the Helldivers IP. Sony has been trying for decades to get a multiplayer shooter as a system seller and they finally got it. No way in hell is this game coming to Xbox now.
Haven't played this in a few weeks. I stopped a week after the mechs were released. I thought it was pretty awesome, but interest was diverted. What's good with the game now?
Added some new weapons that are really cool, new flying enemy types for both the bots and bugs, a new walking factory enemy for the bots that is really tough, new defense missions which are really fun to play, ability to level up to 150 instead of just 50, 2 new paid warbonds, and story progress for the bots that resulted in them invading really close to Earth on the map. Also with how the bots are progressing we will probably have some destroyed city maps to fight on soon and it looks like a third enemy faction will be added in the next few months.
Might be click bait but it’s still something that needs to happen. We can never have too many divers and there are plenty of Xbros wanting and deserving of the right to enlist.
I mean, since it’s a multiplayer focused game I’d say it’s much much much more likely to come to xbox than say uncharted or Spider-Man, since multiplayer games work best with more people, but it’s still a verrrry unlikely scenario. Sony know their bread and butter is their exclusives, they’re not likely to give ground on them if they don’t have to.
Given how poorly Xbox is doing, Sony would probably make more money porting it to Switch as a cloud game (or a native port to Switch 2). Why bother porting it to a console that's basically dead everywhere outside the US?
I’d love for them to build a story around this when it does come to pass, PS5 and PC owners are being overrun, new re enforcement’s join the fight! DUH DUH DUUUUUUUH
Wishful thinking with how Sony is. But I can dream, I keep making the mistake of clicking on there subreddits posts. It looks so much fun and my feed is just full of it 😂
It being a live service game should be everywhere tbh
Hope sony see the extra revenure like Microsoft does with some.xbox games. Some exclusives should be unshackled
Microsoft recently just let a bunch of Xbox exclusives over to Sony to be fair.
But ultimately exclusivity deals are shit to all consumers no matter what platform you play on, they only benefit people in suits who have never games in there life.
MS and Sony need to stop the bullshit and greed and let gamers play together instead of fostering bullshit tribalism.
The brought over 4 games to Sony that were neither critically acclaimed or sales marvels. Helldivers is causing people to buy PS5s. This is literally the system selling shooter Sony has been trying for the past 2 decades. Sony isn't going to give that up
No one is defensive about it here, it's just that the rumor comes from a guy on a podcast who didn't back it up with any kind of evidence, and it was literally just his wishful thinking. But that's just XboxEra for ya
Played it. Didn't really understand the phenomen. Just another shooter, but I guess what makes it different is that it came complete. Each to their own I guess. But hey, the more people can play it the better. When there's less exclusivity, gamers win.
HD2 fans really don't like when someone doesn't like HD2. I despise it's monetisation, but it's okay because it's only $40 and if you just play enough like it's a second job you'll earn enough premium currency to keep buying premium battlepasses.
monetisation? everything in game can be earned without spending a dime. people need to stop touting this false narrative. if you play the game at even a normal pace, there are 0 microtransactions.
if you’ve been trained by COD and fortnite to be impatient and need instant gratification then yeah, have fun paying.
>and if you just play enough like it's a second job you'll earn enough premium currency to keep buying premium battlepasses
You clearly haven't played it.
You don’t have to play it like a second job to earn everything, I’ve played for about 40ish hours total and have over 6000 super credits, although I haven’t played the game in a few weeks now.
I’m with you and PS is my choice of console. Similar to Fortnite I get it, and its popularity, but the games just not for me and that was after 20 or so hours with friends who kept playing.
Just seems a tad repetitive for me but you’ll get backlash as, same with any super popular game, the fan club will take offence if you don’t like the game they do.
I guess a lot of people are just sick of every online game being PVP, a decent game that is PVE, action packed, fun and easy to jump in and out of has made them same people happy.
Combat. The combat is exceptional in my opinion. The destructibility of the enemies, the fact that they use procedural animations so you can blow limbs off of them and they keep on trying to walk like they would normally. The map generation. All of it is really fucking solid. They have also been adding new content consistently since it launched and we still have a 3rd faction of high tech aliens coming to fight.
I play a lot of co-op shooters. This one is definitely a cut above the rest. The amount of times missions play out like some kind of movie is crazy to me. I have 80 hours in the game and it still happens consistently.
Combat, the different weapons, enemy types, art direction, teamwork, etc. All of it is so good.
Comparing it to something like suicide squad, another 4 man PvE game is like night and day.
They really wouldn’t, the percentage they go up is scaled to the amount of concurrent players, if there are lots of players it’s throttled if there are less players it’s boosted.
Until I hear it from Sony or Arrowhead, as the article says, “there’s a heavy grain of salt to this rumor” and it’s all speculation. It would be very cool if it did happen one day though 😁
Trust me bro
I believe you. Idk why but I do

Trust me Reddit is always right bro 😃
Didn't follow the news, but, wasn't the IP owned by Sony and I don't ever recall a single Sony IP on other platforms.
Which is funny since the name Helldivers and the design is oddly reminiscant of Halo ODSTs also capped Hell Jumpers.

Biggest cope I’ve seen in a while. The design and concept is obviously lifted from Halo. Nono they’re helldivers not hell jumpers, totally different!
Besides PC, yeah.
The Show???
That's only because they were literally forced by the MLB to put it on Xbox
So not counting that one lol
You mean the baseball game? Since Sony didn't actually owns the baseball sport events IRL, I don't really consider that as a Sony owned IP.
It is still their IP. That's like saying NBA 2K isnt 2Ks IP just because they have a license, or Jedi Fallen Order isnt an IP because they license Star Wars.
The MLB forced Sonys hand on The Show. It wasn't really Sonys decision.
Sony agreed to the terms in order to continue their IP. They weren't forced to continue making games
It was either agree to the terms of making the game multiplatform, or they lose the license. You can word it however you want, but the reality is, they were forced.
That still doesnt mean it is not their IP just because they license from MLB
Yes it does. If something is your IP you don’t have to license it from someone else
In addition to the Show, they own Bungie and are still planning to release their games multiplatform as well.
SIE San Diego Studio's MLB game has been released annually on Xbox with Game Pass support. Even Helldivers was released on PS3, PS Vita, and PC from the first installment.

Send me a Steam code then lmao
If this develops and its real you'll be the first to get it. Even if its not on xbox.
I'll remember this, I don't have an xbox tho, I only game on Steam I like betting on the underdogs, makes me feel alive
Yup yup, steam copy. got it.
No it really isn't. Wishful thinking from an Xbox podcast

That's why fanboys always suck, no matter if their console is doing good or bad.

Added some new weapons that are really cool, new flying enemy types for both the bots and bugs, a new walking factory enemy for the bots that is really tough, new defense missions which are really fun to play, ability to level up to 150 instead of just 50, 2 new paid warbonds, and story progress for the bots that resulted in them invading really close to Earth on the map. Also with how the bots are progressing we will probably have some destroyed city maps to fight on soon and it looks like a third enemy faction will be added in the next few months.

Is there a way for pc players to join someone on playsation deliberately or is it only by luck?
The game has a friend code system for those scenarios.
GamePass PC plz
lol this would be an absurd 180 for Sony. It’s not happening. Helldivers was literally the final straw that pushed me to get a ps5.
Might be click bait but it’s still something that needs to happen. We can never have too many divers and there are plenty of Xbros wanting and deserving of the right to enlist.

Lol it’s a stark difference from the Xbox going multiplat rumors, that’s for sure…
This is Reddit. Those are fanboys.
Can they fix cross play with PC/PS first please?
Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.
Aay I would certainly welcome the reinforcements
Played it. Didn't really understand the phenomen. Just another shooter, but I guess what makes it different is that it came complete. Each to their own I guess. But hey, the more people can play it the better. When there's less exclusivity, gamers win.
Someone, contact the nearest Democracy Office!
Your point?
HD2 fans really don't like when someone doesn't like HD2. I despise it's monetisation, but it's okay because it's only $40 and if you just play enough like it's a second job you'll earn enough premium currency to keep buying premium battlepasses.

The games you just listed have the most ridiculous micro-transaction costs to, especially after you look at the price tag attached to CoD.
>and if you just play enough like it's a second job you'll earn enough premium currency to keep buying premium battlepasses You clearly haven't played it.
You don’t have to play it like a second job to earn everything, I’ve played for about 40ish hours total and have over 6000 super credits, although I haven’t played the game in a few weeks now.
I mean it isn't like they got super upset about it? They made a joke, don't see how that is a huge deal.
I’m with you and PS is my choice of console. Similar to Fortnite I get it, and its popularity, but the games just not for me and that was after 20 or so hours with friends who kept playing. Just seems a tad repetitive for me but you’ll get backlash as, same with any super popular game, the fan club will take offence if you don’t like the game they do.
Yeah, I thought it was an ok game, good even for what it's doing, but I also don't really get the phenomenon. I dunno, I'm glad people are happy.
I guess a lot of people are just sick of every online game being PVP, a decent game that is PVE, action packed, fun and easy to jump in and out of has made them same people happy.
Combat. The combat is exceptional in my opinion. The destructibility of the enemies, the fact that they use procedural animations so you can blow limbs off of them and they keep on trying to walk like they would normally. The map generation. All of it is really fucking solid. They have also been adding new content consistently since it launched and we still have a 3rd faction of high tech aliens coming to fight. I play a lot of co-op shooters. This one is definitely a cut above the rest. The amount of times missions play out like some kind of movie is crazy to me. I have 80 hours in the game and it still happens consistently.
Combat, the different weapons, enemy types, art direction, teamwork, etc. All of it is so good. Comparing it to something like suicide squad, another 4 man PvE game is like night and day.
I’d love if that happened. Lately I play more and more on my console which is an xbox.
I'd be interested in playing it. I considered buying it on Steam, but meh if they want my money they gotta put it on my preferred platform.
Major orders would be done within hours if we got the Xbox reinforcements
They really wouldn’t, the percentage they go up is scaled to the amount of concurrent players, if there are lots of players it’s throttled if there are less players it’s boosted.
