Fans of the popular game Helldivers may be disappointed to learn that the highly anticipated sequel, Helldivers 2, may not be coming to Xbox Series X and Series S in the future. The game, which was a massive hit on PlayStation and PC with crossplay between the two communities, has left some Xbox players feeling left out.
Microsoft’s main competitor, Sony, is seen as a major hurdle in the possibility of Helldivers 2 being ported to Xbox. Despite this, Microsoft Gaming CEO has expressed frustration about the game not being available on the Xbox platform, showing a desire to bring it to their players.
Former Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO has acknowledged the risks of exclusivity and the benefits of reaching a wider audience. This sentiment is echoed by fans who have started petitions to bring Helldivers 2 to Xbox, some reaching over 100,000 signatures.
While there is no guarantee, the pressure from both fans and industry figures may eventually lead to a potential Xbox port in the future. For now, Xbox players will have to wait and see if their voices are heard and if they will get the chance to experience Helldivers 2 on their preferred gaming platform.
