In an exciting development for fans of cooperative shooters, Helldivers 2 is set to launch on Xbox Series X/S with full cross-play functionality across PC and PlayStation 5 platforms. This announcement came as part of Microsoft's recent reveal, marking a significant expansion for Arrowhead Game Studios' hit title.

The Xbox version, scheduled for release on August 26, arrives more than 18 months after the game's initial debut on PS5 and Steam. This expansion follows a successful petition from the gaming community requesting an Xbox port. While the game previously faced controversy over PlayStation Network account requirements, these restrictions have since been lifted, making the game accessible in more regions.

Key features of the Xbox release include:

• Seamless cross-play between Xbox, PC, and PS5 platforms
• Digital pre-orders available now through the Microsoft Store
• Requires Xbox Game Pass Core or Ultimate subscription
• Both Standard and Super Citizen Editions available

The Super Citizen Edition has been updated based on player feedback, now offering a Warbond Token instead of the fixed Steeled Veterans Warbond. This allows players to choose their preferred Premium Warbond, which includes various weapons, armor sets, and cosmetic items. Unlike traditional battle passes, these Warbonds remain permanently accessible.
