Helldivers 2 Is Never Coming to Xbox Game Pass, Arrowhead Confirms

Expert Verified By

Game Pass off the Table for Helldivers 2.

Story Highlight
  • Helldivers 2 was recently announced for Xbox.
  • Although many were hoping that the title would be coming to the Xbox Game Pass, the developers have confirmed it won’t be happening. 
  • Helldivers 2 is set to launch on Xbox this August.

Helldivers 2 was released last year as PlayStation’s most successful live-service title, and thanks to the developers’ recent updates, the title remains strong in 2025.

Finally, the developers have recently confirmed that Helldivers 2 will be released on Xbox Series S|X later this August. While many fans were wondering whether the title would be available on Xbox Game Pass, Arrowhead’s community manager has confirmed it won’t be.

Why it matters: Of course, Arrowhead Games would want players to fully purchase the game if they want to enjoy it since the game has already seen tremendous success and is worth the money.

Since many third-party games are often released on Xbox Game Pass, fans were eagerly awaiting the arrival of Helldivers 2 on the subscription service.

In response to a message suggesting that Helldivers 2 would be released on Xbox Game Pass, Arrowhead’s community manager clarified that it definitely will not.

Definitely not. No plans to bring it to gamepass

While this may disappoint some Xbox fans, at least the title isn’t a fully priced premium release, and players can still purchase the standard edition for £34.99, which is a worthwhile investment considering the title’s massive success over the last year.

Helldivers 2 Has Been A Massive Success For Sony.

Recently, Xbox also released Sea of Thieves on PlayStation, but it wasn’t included in the PlayStation Plus subscription. The title did incredibly well on the PlayStation, regardless.

Despite not coming on the Game Pass, Helldivers 2 is still expected to sell well, as Xbox fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of this game. Are you planning to purchase Helldivers 2 on Xbox? Share your thoughts with us in the comments or join Tech4Gamers forums.
