Talks For Helldivers 2 on Xbox Are Over!

Story Highlight
  • There were rumors that PlayStation is considering an Xbox port for Helldivers 2. 
  • An industry insider has revealed that the port isn’t happening anymore. 
  • Helldivers 2 on Xbox had been in demand ever since the game launched. 

Helldivers 2 on Xbox was a highly demanded title. When the game started gaining traction attention on Steam, Xbox fans even petitioned to launch the game on Microsoft’s consoles. However, it seems that the port is never going to happen

Why it matters: Earlier, there were rumors that PlayStation is considering an Xbox port for Helldivers 2. Even the studio itself seemed to be interested in the prospect, but the idea is allegedly scrapped now. 

Back in April, renowned leaker Nick Baker revealed that PlayStation was in the early discussions to consider Helldivers 2 for Xbox. But, in the latest episode of the XboxEra podcast, he said that isn’t happening anymore.

PlayStation has indeed been taking a very different approach to Microsoft in terms of its releases. Team Green is moving aggressively to launch titles on multiple platforms, while PlayStation is focusing on exclusive games that may come to PC later.

Ever since its release, fans really wanted an Xbox port announcement. Even Phil Spencer admitted that he would love to see the game on his platform. 

However, PlayStation doesn’t seem too keen on sharing its first-party games with Xbox. Nonetheless, the game turned into a great hit, recording the most revenue for any title in H1 of 2024. 

While its player base has significantly reduced now, it still records over 50K concurrent players regularly on Steam. An Xbox launch could’ve led the game to another huge resurgence but PlayStation is adamant about keeping its titles exclusive.
