Helldivers 2 Xbox Release Hinges on Sony's Decision

The potential for Helldivers 2 to expand beyond PlayStation and PC depends on negotiations between Sony and Xbox.

Helldivers 2, released in February 2024, has been a commercial success on PlayStation 5 and PC.
Arrowhead Game Studios, the developer, supports a broader release but lacks the authority to decide on an Xbox port.
Sony holds the intellectual property rights to Helldivers, giving them the final say on any potential Xbox release.
Community interest in an Xbox version remains high, but Sony's strategy prioritizes maintaining exclusivity to bolster its platform.
While Xbox has shared some exclusives with PlayStation, Sony has historically been reluctant to reciprocate.
