There has been an evergrowing demand of players to release Sony’s Helldivers 2 on Xbox ever since its release back in February, and despite the many requests from the fans, Sony has not shown any consideration of giving in to the appeal yet.

Luckily, the time of redemption is just around the corner, as a new upcoming game titled Jump Ship has been announced, and it seems to be a perfect mix of Sea of Thieves and Helldivers 2. More details regarding the game are yet to be announced, but what might be music to Xbox fans’ ears is how PS5 users will not be able to enjoy the title, at least for now.

Why The Announcement Of Jump Ship Is The Perfect Redemption For Xbox Fans

From the looks of the official trailer and promotional material of Jump Ship, the game will be set in outer space, and will also be featuring an online co-op, much like Sony’s Helldivers 2 that Xbox fans have been demanding. What’s going to make the game more intriguing is how there are potentially many different and new mechanics never seen before that will be introduced with the eventual release of the title.

However, the fact that will bring vindication to Xbox players is how the game has failed to include Sony’s PlayStation 5 in its early access program despite including other major platforms such as PC and Xbox itself. Even if the studio does decide to officially release the game on PS5, players on this console will be missing out on trying out the game for themselves before everybody else.

As hinted before, there is still a chance Jump Ship will make its debut on Sony’s gaming platform when it officially releases. But until then, it should be a huge win in the books of Xbox and its players alike.

What Are The Premises Of The New And Upcoming Jump Ship Game And Why Is It Similar To Helldivers 2

Jump Ship, a game with no release date announced for now, will be set in space and will feature missions where players will have to team up and fight against enemies in a PvE experience. This is exactly what makes the game similar to Helldivers 2 in the first place.

Another factor that makes the game similar to Sea of Thieves instead is how one gets to explore outer space in their craft like they get to explore the ocean in their battleships in the previously stated title. The game allows up to 4 players together to form a team and head to missions together, delivering a fun co-op experience.

Furthermore, the game does not only feature missions where the team has to fight off enemies together but instead includes tasks for other teammates to do while someone defends the ship by piloting it. This includes doing maintenance for the ship and other similar mini-games that will be participated in by the player in order to complete the mission.

More details about Jump Ship can be obtained from their official Steam page.
