Looking for Helldivers 2 on PS4?
The latest shooter from Arrowhead Games has finally arrived for PlayStation and PC players. Some gamers are wondering if the PS4 also has access to the title as the original was available on the last-gen console almost a decade ago.

Is Helldivers 2 available on PS4
No, Helldivers 2 is only on PS5 and PC. While the previous title released on PS4 and PS Vita, things have changed after almost a decade. The PS4 isn’t getting access to the new title for a variety of reasons. Being built for the PS5 and PC allows Helldivers 2 to have a massive leap in visual fidelity. The aging PS4 and PS4 Pro would have imposed hardware limitations that would have forced developer Arrowhead Games to scale back their ambitious title.
Being released on current-gen platforms allows Helldivers 2 to provide a modern experience with the bells and whistles that gamers have come to expect. And since the new title abandons the top-down approach, things need to look crystal clear, be it enemies or environments.
That covers if Helldivers 2 is on the old PS console. For more on the game, check out our Helldivers 2 multiplayer guide and if Helldivers 2 has anti-cheat. And here’s how to fix the ‘server request failed’ error in Helldivers 2 and what to do if you aren’t getting XP and rewards. Despite switching to a third-person view, the game retains the tight tactical combat of its predecessor. And with a new Galactic War governing things, it’s definitely worth upgrading your gear for it.
