By The initial PlayStation-released title on Xbox
- by Ben Kerry
It’s fair to assert that the Xbox ecosystem has been somewhat chaotic, yet, oddly enough, the silver lining during a challenging week has emerged from PlayStation parent, Sony. Indeed, the Japanese company recently unveiled that its well-received live service shooter Helldivers 2 will arrive on Xbox Series X|S this August; the first title from PlayStation Publishing to debut on Xbox.
Nonetheless, in spite of the postponed Xbox release, the game will not be available on Microsoft’s Game Pass service. Yes, Helldivers 2 is a premium $40 venture, and approximately 18 months following its original launch, Xbox users will need to pay that amount as well. The query is, do you believe it’s justified – will you be purchasing Helldivers 2 on Xbox later this summer?
We have witnessed significant excitement surrounding this game over the past year, and we are undeniably eager to see it land on Xbox. It appears to be a title that will resonate well with the Xbox audience – a sentiment that PlayStation creator Sony appears to concur with, having made Helldivers 2 the first authentic PlayStation creation to be showcased on the platform.
So, with the game’s Xbox Series X|S adaptation confirmed to arrive without a Game Pass option, will you be purchasing Helldivers 2? Share your thoughts in the poll below and engage further in the comments!
