Helldivers 2 going to Xbox is a desperately needed win

The walls are crumbling, and everyone wins. Arrowhead have announced that Helldivers 2 is going to fight for a different shade of democracy as an Xbox port is imminent. This is a victory for bug squashers in camp green as full crossplay is confirmed and jolliness with your squad is all but assured. It didn't seem like this day would ever come, but given the all too coincidental shared launch date with a certain Gears of War Reloaded, there's every likelihood this was a tit for tat deal that gave Sony the chance to test the waters as a third party publisher.

Finally something for Xbox gamers to play, they're bored out of their mind. Here's something to enjoy while ignoring MS crumbling behind the scenes.

Heard some gamers are moaning about $40 price. They are right. It should be more..

Crumbling is a tad dramatic, since they've mapped out a clear path forwards and are continuing to forge partnerships for next gen. That doesn't mean they haven't made a string of critical errors, which they have. I do love your sweeping generalisation that Xbox gamers worldwide are bored, haha.

As for Helldivers 2, anyone moaning about that price needs to play it and see that it's worth every penny.

Well, the Xbox hardware has been down for the past 4/5 years. Even more if you count their revenue during the Xbox one era.

This is definitely the last traditional Xbox console we’re going to see this gen. This whole BS slogan of “this is a Xbox” is slap in the face to Xbox community that’s been rocking with the system since the original Xbox.

In any case, I’m interested to see if the Xbox community is going to actually buy Helldivers 2. We didn’t see with Death Stranding, FF 16, Kena, Sifu, etc.

Also, I’m surprised Sony made this decision? Their obsession with these GaaS this gen is going to be their downfall.

I think they are putting on s dog and pony show with their roadmap mass cuts and cancelled projects are everywhere now.

They haven't been able to recoup the 100 billion thrumsoent on Activision and Bethesda and they are bleeding

Bored? I don't think so. There is plenty to play on xbox and more coming. They aren't the ones who released concord which bombed so hard that they canceled a bunch of games because of it.

You do know that the most played games on PlayStation this year have been games published by Xbox right?

For maybe $75mil I would put it on GP

It's not a win because it's not going to Game Pass, which means most Xbox gamers won't be playing it.

Never underestimate the pull of managed democracy, Helldiver.

No win, sony threw them a pity bone, lifeline. Why? who knows, but thats what it was.
