Hellbreakers 2, the sequel, makes its way to another gaming platform.
Get ready, Xbox gamers! Arrowhead Studios' highly anticipated cooperative third-person shooter game, Helldivers 2, is set to launch on August 26, 2025, exclusively on Xbox Series X|S. This thrilling interstellar adventure will see players working together to complete missions and use an array of weapons to clear out enemies.
The game's narrative is shaped by the community's victories and failures in community events, making each player's journey unique. Xbox players can choose between the Standard or Super Citizen version of Helldivers 2. Early buyers of the game will receive in-game goodies, and preordering either version grants three armor sets.
However, there's some important information to consider. Helldivers 2 will not be coming to Xbox Game Pass. Arrowhead Studios' community manager confirmed on Discord that there are *no plans* to bring the game to Game Pass, putting an end to any rumors about its inclusion on the service.
As for cross-platform play, Helldivers 2 on Xbox will allow players to join forces with those on other platforms. Yet, it appears unlikely that cross-progression will be supported. If cross-progression is critical for you, it may be best to monitor official communications from Arrowhead Studios or PlayStation Publishing for updates closer to or after launch.
Moreover, if you're an existing player planning to switch consoles, you may need to start fresh on Xbox as there is no confirmed information about cross-progression support. The ongoing narrative and community events in Helldivers 2 are part of its appeal, and the fight for Super Earth will continue for future months and years.
Lastly, the Super Citizen Edition of Helldivers 2 includes additional cosmetics and an in-game plaque, making it an enticing option for those seeking a more enhanced gaming experience. So, mark your calendars for August 26, 2025, and get ready to join the Helldivers 2 community on Xbox!
