A Groundbreaking Moment in Gaming

Helldivers 2, one of the most successful co-op games of the decade, is officially heading to Xbox Series X and S this August. What’s making headlines is not just the game — but who’s behind it.

Yes, Helldivers 2 is published by PlayStation Studios, making this the first-ever PlayStation-published game to launch on Xbox consoles. That’s a massive shift in the console gaming landscape.

This move shows that even long-time rivals like Sony and Microsoft are beginning to bridge the platform divide — all in favor of gamers.

What Is Helldivers 2?

Helldivers 2 is a fast-paced third-person co-op shooter, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Players take on alien enemies across the galaxy in the name of “Super Earth,” with chaotic missions and constant friendly fire turning every match into thrilling madness.

It’s the sequel to the 2015 top-down shooter Helldivers, and since its release on PS5 and PC in February 2024, it’s become a viral hit, drawing millions of dedicated players.
