Helldivers 2 on Xbox - release date, price, and pre order details

After being originally released more than a year ago, Helldivers 2 is finally coming to Xbox. Console exclusivity has always been the main weapon of the giants like PlayStation and Xbox.

However, that thin line is diminishing gradually.Highly popular Xbox titles like Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, Hi-Fi Rush, and many more made their way onto PlayStation, breaking the console exclusivity rule. Now, it’s time for Sony to give back to the Xbox fans, and as a result, the Helldivers 2 Xbox port is here.

Everything you need to know about Helldivers 2 on Xbox

When Helldivers 2 was first released on PlayStation 5, it quickly garnered a huge fanbase. It actually changed the way people used to play co-op PvE games as it implemented many exciting features like Stratagems, Warbond Battle Passes, regular Major Orders by Super Earth High Command, and many more, despite keeping the core intact. So, it has always been a point of disappointment for the Xbox fans that this brilliant title was only available for PS5 and PC, and yes, it supported cross-play as well, which was adding salt to the injury. However, this injury is going to be healed completely as the official Twitter handle of Helldivers 2 has recently announced that the game is going to be available on Xbox Series X/S on August 26, 2025.

Xbox fans who want to pre-order this game for their consoles don’t have to worry anymore as the pre-ordering process is live right now.

Just like its price on PC and PS5, Helldivers 2 is going to be priced at $40 for Xbox Series X/S as well. One year ago, this whole scenario was quite unimaginable, keeping in mind that the arch-rivals of Xbox, Sony, owned the development team of the game, Arrowhead Game Studios. So, there was no way Sony would let its best-seller slide into its rival camp. But things have changed a lot since then, especially after Microsoft’s multi-platform approach with its first-party titles like Forza Horizon 5 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Co-incidentally, another Xbox first-party title, Gears of Wars Reloaded, is coming to PS5 on August 26 as well. So, it’s an absolute treat for all the fans, irrespective of the consoles they use, as the two gaming giants are breaking the console exclusivity and exchanging their best-sellers hand-to-hand.Read More:How to unlock Planetary Defense Cannons in Helldivers 2 easily
