🎮 Helldivers 2 Is Coming to Xbox on August 26, 2025
Great news for fans of Arrowhead’s explosive co-op shooter: Helldivers 2 will officially launch on Xbox Series X|S on August 26, 2025. After making waves on PC and PlayStation 5, the galactic war is now expanding to Xbox players—but there are some important caveats.
❌ Not Included in Game Pass
Despite the Xbox launch, Helldivers 2 will not be part of Xbox Game Pass. Players on Xbox will need to purchase the game separately, as the developers have confirmed that there are no plans to bring it to the subscription service.
🔄 No Cross-Progression Support
Another limitation: there will be no cross-progression. If you’ve already played on PlayStation or PC, your progress won’t carry over to Xbox. Arrowhead has made it clear that cross-progression is not currently on the roadmap.
🤝 A United Community
Despite these restrictions, the Helldivers community has largely welcomed the Xbox release with excitement. Memes and messages of unity between PlayStation, PC, and Xbox players have flooded social media. While some voiced concerns about Xbox-exclusive pre-order armor, developers have confirmed that these items will eventually become available to all players.
🧢 Official Merchandise Now Available
To celebrate the expanded launch, fans can now grab official Helldivers 2 merchandise—including t-shirts, mugs, and collectible gear—on the website helldivers-merch.com.
Whether you’re new to Super Earth or a battle-hardened veteran, Xbox players can finally join the ranks this August. Just remember: Democracy needs you—but it’s not free. 🪖
