Getting Helldivers 2 on Xbox would need Sony and Phil Spencer to "duke it out", Arrowhead community lead says

Helldivers 2 would need “Sony and Phil [Spencer] to duke out” in order to get an Xbox port of Arrowhead’s shooter off the ground.

The bombastic experience launched in February for PC and PlayStation, where it quickly became beloved by swathes of players wanting to do their bit for liberty by squashing Terminids and, on occasion, each other.

It’s a game about co-operation – and as Microsoft games land on PlayStation, this has lead to fans wondering whether Xbox players might eventually get a chance to join in with Helldivers 2 – even if the brand is owned by Sony.

The lack of an Xbox release is something that was recently highlighted again on the Helldivers 2 Discord, when one member posted (with an accompanying weepy emoji): “I just want reinforcements in the way of Xbox players. But that’s never gonna happen.”
