Helldivers 2
Microsoft has committed to getting its games out on as many platforms as possible, as a result Xbox titles like “Forza Horizon 5,” “Doom: The Dark Ages” and “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” have all gone not just to PC but PS5 as well – some on day one, some slightly delayed.
Now, Sony is throwing Microsoft a bone with the company set to release Arrowhead Game Studios’ PlayStation and PC exclusive “Helldivers 2” on the Xbox gaming console on August 26th.
The game launched on both PS5 and PC in February 2024, becoming an overnight critical and commercial hit. There are no indications at present of any further Xbox ports of PlayStation titles in the works.
