After a successful launch on PlayStation 5 and PC in early 2024, the popular third-person cooperative shooter Helldivers 2 is finally arriving on Xbox Series X and S consoles on August 26, 2025. This release marks the game’s expansion to Microsoft’s platform, offering Xbox players their first opportunity to join the intergalactic fight for freedom.

The game will be available worldwide at 1 AM PDT / 4 AM EDT / 9 AM BST on August 26, 2025, with launch timings varying across global time zones. Players can choose between two editions: the Standard Edition priced at $39.99 and the Super Citizen Edition at $59.99.

Helldivers 2 delivers a frantic and tactical cooperative experience where players squad up in teams of four to tackle missions against alien threats in a fast-paced galactic war. The game features 4K Ultra HD visuals, HDR support, and runs at a smooth 60 frames per second on Xbox Series X|S.

A special highlight for Xbox players is the launch-day crossover event with Halo: ODST called the "ODST Legendary Warbond," which introduces Halo-themed armour, weapons, and equipment, enhancing the already intense action.

Full cross-platform play is supported, enabling Xbox players to team up with friends on PlayStation and PC, although cross-progression is not currently available.
