Exciting news for Xbox players! Helldivers 2 is set to launch on Xbox Series X at the end of August 2025, making it a highly anticipated addition to the console.

Helldivers 2 will be available on Xbox Series X and S starting August 26, 2025. However, it appears that it will not be included in Game Pass.

Pre-orders are available now on the Xbox Store, offering some exclusive armor sets:

Standard Edition = $39.99/£34.99
- Includes the base game and armor sets like the TR-7 Ambassador of the Brand, TR-62 Knight, and TR-9 Cavalier of Democracy.
Super Citizen Edition = $59.99/£51.99
- Includes everything from the Standard Edition plus the DP-53 Savior of the Free armor set, Will of the People cape, MP-98 Knight submachine gun, Super Citizen title, a Stratagem Hero ship mini-game, and a Premium Warbond Token (which unlocks one of the Helldivers 2 Warbonds for free).

For those eager to team up, Helldivers 2 supports crossplay, allowing you to play with friends on PC and PS5. However, there is no cross-progression, so you won’t be able to transfer your account from PC or PS5 to Xbox Series X.

Before this announcement, Phil Spencer, the CEO of Microsoft Gaming, commented on the absence of Helldivers 2 on Xbox, expressing uncertainty about how that decision benefited anyone in the industry. Fan demand was so strong that petitions circulated, with one gathering over 130,000 signatures. It seems both Spencer and the fans got what they hoped for.
