Helldivers 2 is coming to Xbox! That is yesterday’s information, revealed in what could have been the shortest developer livestream ever, and one that would have been a tweet, actually. Most of us are comfortable, as a result of it means we’ve got extra allies within the galactic struggle, however some are nervous about stolen valor.
The Helldivers 2 subreddit is chock stuffed with memes and celebrations. One exhibits two grunts greedy fingers and lovingly headbutting one another, with the caption, “Xbox and PlayStation followers put their variations apart to struggle for Tremendous Earth.” We have already seen gamers from all around the world unite in protection of Equality on Sea, so extra collaboration is definitely on the desk.
One other meme exhibits a messenger on horseback, carrying a Helldivers helmet, shouting, “The Xbox reinforcements are coming!”
Thus far, my favourite meme is a clip from Starship Troopers, the film the sport takes a whole lot of inspiration from. Somebody additionally posted a clip from a fan made animation exhibiting Halo’s Grasp Chief becoming a member of the fray.

Even Arrowhead is getting in on the enjoyable, with a brand new in-game message that explains a brand new Freedom to Serve Act and Planetary Protection Gratitude Tax are being applied to safe funds and troops for an expanded fleet.
However, surprisingly, not everyone seems to be comfortable. One participant is irritated Xbox divers will get the pre-order armor, whereas PC and PS5 gamers cannot. Seems, their anger is misplaced, as a result of it was really confirmed within the Helldivers 2 Discord that the pre-order bonuses might be obtainable to all “at a later stage.”
One individual is, in my view, rightfully irritated this announcement was the whole thing of a hyped-up livestream which turned out to be barely a couple of minutes of chief inventive officer Johan Pilestedt telling us the sport was coming to Xbox.
“Had I recognized that is all it was, I might not have woken up early for that two minute ‘livestream,'” writes one unimpressed fan. “It actually gave ‘this might’ve been an e-mail’ vibes,” agrees one other.
One fan has placed on their tinfoil hat and believes this announcement was apparent in hindsight. The area locks being eliminated might have been a part of Microsoft‘s needs earlier than the sport got here to the platform. It would not need Helldivers 2 obtainable to fewer gamers, in spite of everything.
Sadly, there’s nonetheless no cross-progression in sight. VideoGamer noticed on the Helldivers 2 Discord server that Arrowhead has “no plans” for it. So, for those who have been hoping to have the ability to change consoles now that Helldivers 2 is on Xbox, you’d higher maintain your horses.
VideoGamer has additionally noticed that Arrowhead neighborhood supervisor Katherine Baskin has confirmed that Helldivers 2 will “positively not” be coming to Recreation Move. If you wish to serve, it’s a must to pay.
Are you excited for the Xbox gamers to affix? I’m. I can not await a brand new batch of rookies. It means I can cross on the teachings that have been taught to me. Like making them shoot hellbombs left on the battlefield or overcharging their Railgun. Ha.
When you wait to provoke the brand new gamers, take a look at the finest on-line video games you’ll be able to play immediately.
