Developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, Helldivers 2 will be released for Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X on August 26, 2025. The game will be available on the Xbox platform with a price tag of 1749 TL. This development means that a game directly published by Sony will be available on Xbox consoles for the first time.

Helldivers 2 will be released for Xbox

Helldivers 2 has achieved great success in terms of both player numbers and popularity since it was released for PlayStation 5 and PC in 2024. Being accessible on two platforms from the first day of its release allowed the game to reach a wide range of players.

Despite the 17 months that have passed, Helldivers 2 still has an active community and maintains player interest with up-to-date content. The access network will be expanded even more with the game’s release on Xbox.

This step represents an important turning point not only for the future of Helldivers 2, but also for cross-platform dynamics in the gaming industry. The only game that was previously exclusive to the PlayStation platform and came to Xbox was MLB: The Show, but Sony did not undertake the publishing role in that production. Helldivers 2 is coming to Xbox as the first PlayStation game published directly by Sony.

Console competition in the gaming industry has long been shaped not only by hardware but also by content and services. While the Xbox side has largely moved away from its exclusive game strategy with the Game Pass service, PlayStation continues to tend to keep exclusives on its own platform.

In this context, Helldivers 2 coming to Xbox indicates a potential flex in the current strategy for Sony. It will become clear over time whether this development will remain a singular example or whether Sony will adopt a similar approach for different games.
