Thursday morning, Xbox fans were treated to quite an uplifting surprise — one that was frankly very much needed after Microsoft's massive recent layoff wave, the cancellation of Everwild and Perfect Dark, and the closure of the latter's development studio The Initiative. I'm talking, of course, about the news that Helldivers 2 is coming to Xbox, with Arrowhead's fan-favorite PC and PS5 co-op shooter heading to Microsoft's consoles on August 26, 2025.
While PlayStation maker Sony has brought many of its games to PC in recent years, it's never ported and published its first-party titles on Xbox before. For that reason, I was shocked to see an Xbox version of Helldivers 2 announced — and as a huge fan of the game, I'm ecstatic that the Super Earth's finest troops will soon be reinforced by legions of Team Green soldiers ready to do their part.
