Helldivers 2, the third-person squad-based shooter title, has been out for days and has already impressed many. The game relies heavily on co-op, and there are a few questions that players might want to know, such as: is Helldivers 2 crossplay?, is Helldivers 2 cross platform?, and more.
The game is the sequel to the 2015 title Helldivers and pits players against aliens. It’s been a long nine-year wait for the fans. This article will answer all the must-know questions that players would like to know before they invite their friends on this adventure.
Is Helldivers 2 Crossplay and Cross Platform?
Helldivers 2 is available for both PlayStation 5 and PC, and players looking to play the game with their friends on a different system can rejoice as the game has full crossplay between the platforms. Arrowhead Studios announced this via a blog post, saying that “community and teamwork are the most important pillars” of the game and that crossplay is essential.
Given that the game is dependent on co-op, crossplay is a must-have for the sequel so that players can run missions without any issues, and the developer has made sure of it for a smooth experience. All players need to do is visit the Social tab, generate a friend code, and get their pals on the team.
However, the game does not support cross platform progression or cross-save, meaning that players cannot transfer their game progression from PC to PlayStation and vice versa, and if they switch systems, they’ll need to start a fresh game. Cross-progression is a feature that is seen in the majority of games released these days, but Helldivers 2 does not support it as of now.
Another question that PC players have about the game is: Is Helldivers 2 on Game Pass? Unfortunately, the answer is no. The game is released exclusively for PC and PlayStation and is not available on Xbox or Game Pass. Considering how its predecessor never came to the subscription service, Helldivers 2 might also not come to Game Pass. The game is also not free to play, and players need to purchase the game.
Helldivers 2 Is Already a Hit, but It Also Has Some Problems
Helldivers 2 was released on February 8, 2024, and according to Johan Pilestedt, CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios, the game has already hit a million sales and hit the concurrent peak of nearly 220,000 players across PlayStation 5 and PC.
The game also became the most concurrently played title on Steam published by PlayStation, with over 81k players. Helldivers 2 is also the best-selling title on Steam right now, leaving the latest hit, Palworld, behind. However, the game also saw some issues that hindered the experience for the players.
The main issues that players faced included matchmaking delays, game crashes, and problems logging in to the game. However, the developer soon took notice of this, saying it did not expect the game to be such a massive hit and scheduled maintenance, fixing the issues for players.
