Wondering if Helldivers 2 on Xbox Game Pass? It’s almost been a decade since the original top-down shooter for the PS4 arrived. Helldivers 2 features a new third-person view and a host of welcome improvements, which we’ve made note of in our review. As it’s also out on PC, Game Pass subscribers are wondering if the game will arrive on the service. Here’s what you need to know.
Helldivers 2 is not on Xbox Game Pass
No, Helldivers 2 is not on Xbox Game Pass currently. As it’s not on Xbox Series X|S and the Xbox One, you’ll have to resort to PlayStation 5 and PC to try the latest game from Arrowhead Games. As for PC players, there’s a good chance it won’t arrive on PC Game Pass as Helldivers 2 is published by PlayStation. It’s worth saying that other games have eventually arrived on Microsoft’s subscription service, so there may be hope, but right now, there is no indication it will ever feature.
The game already appears to be a smash hit, and despite being out a while, Helldivers 2’s player count is is still strong on Steam, thanks to the developers, Arrowhead, constantly listenening to player feedback.
It might arrive on PS+ (PlayStation Plus), Sony’s subscription service, later down the road though. The original went free for PS4, PS3, and PS Vita players back in February 2016. For more on the game, check out our guides for the best weapons and our favourite loadout.
