One of the biggest successes of the year has been Helldivers 2, which has captivated PlayStation and PC players with its multiplayer action PVE shooter proposal. Arrowhead’s release still has a lot to offer to its community through free content and updates. However, there are many other people who have not been able to play this game as a service because they usually play on other platforms, like Xbox Series X|S.
In this sense, there has been talk about the possibility of a Helldivers 2 release on Xbox Series X|S, and what has been made clear is that it seems to be a matter of a simple agreement between Sony and Phil Spencer, the head of Microsoft’s gaming division. This was confirmed by the Helldivers community manager on the official Discord (via Videogamer). “Who says it couldn’t happen? It’s not up to us, but Sony and Phil Spencer,” Twinbeard begins.
“But hypothetically speaking, if both partners believe it would benefit them from a financial/brand perspective, it could happen. But if Sony believes it won’t, it won’t,” he reveals. Still, it seems evident that Sony has shown no interest in releasing this type of games on other platforms, and everything points to Helldivers 2 on Xbox may never arrive if the company continues the same strategy. We are not facing an exception like MLB The Show, which lands on Xbox Series X|S and even on Game Pass.
Phil Spencer commented on the absence of Helldivers 2 on Xbox
Last February, Phil Spencer said he was unsure who benefited from not releasing Helldivers 2 on Xbox Series X|S, although he understood why Sony reserved the right to keep that exclusive. “If you try to convince yourself and say that in some way that benefits someone somewhere, I don’t think that’s entirely true,” Spencer explained about the absence of the PVE shooter on his platform. In related news about the game, we recently reported that the Helldivers 2 community has created the ‘Freedom Alliance’ to promote their own content after noticing that the title is somewhat stagnant.
