Fans thought Hell froze over when Gears of War was announced for PS5, but Sony said “hold my beer” and did something just as crazy: Helldivers 2 is coming to Xbox Series systems. In a move no one saw coming, it was announced that the ridiculously popular multiplayer shooter will now be coming to Microsoft’s current-gen console.
Was this done “For Democracy?” Most likely, it was done for money, but this is still rather shocking news.
The game’s official X account confirmed that Helldivers 2 will be coming to Xbox Series X and S systems next month on August 26. How this was announced a month before its release date is astonishing, much like this news in general. Regardless of that, it looks like we’re going to see more soldiers join the fight for democracy now that Xbox players can join in.
Xbox players will have a Standard and Super Citizen Editions to choose from. The former is just PlayStation’s acclaimed base game, while the latter has some cosmetic goodies that hardcore fans can enjoy. No exclusive bonuses were named for this port, so expect the same fantastic multiplayer shooter fans everywhere have been enjoying.
Both Helldivers 2 and Gears of War Reloaded are coming to opposite systems on August 26, which is insane. You’ve never seen this kind of synergy from PlayStation and Xbox before, so this is somewhat admirable. This won’t make anyone forget about the horrible layoffs that just happened, but it looks like Xbox Series owners have a reason to keep their consoles.
