'Helldivers 2' on Xbox? What we know so far
Helldivers 2 is a certified hit, and — since it's a PlayStation 5 exclusive — a massive success for Sony. Arrowhead Game Studios has delivered a solid PVE experience, with a peak player count of over 400,000 dedicated citizens fighting to spread democracy across the galaxy.
However, it seems Xbox fans are feeling left out. So much so, there's even a petition to bring the game over to the Series X. Given that Microsoft has announced that some of its exclusives are coming to other consoles, it's only natural to assume the same of Sony.
So we've gathered everything we could find across the internet to answer the burning question:

Is Helldivers 2 coming to Xbox?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Also no, but never say never.
Sony Interactive doesn't have much history of sharing its exclusives with its competitors. Only recently has the publisher invested in PC ports of its PlayStation exclusives and, even then, it took them a long time to just implement cross-play with Xbox and Nintendo. Helldivers 2 on PC is available now.
For what it's worth, Arrowhead Game Studios' CEO Johan Pilestedt said during an interview with Gamefile that he's "not exactly sure who it helps in the industry by not being on Xbox."
That isn't going to mean much because that decision is for Sony, not the developer. So if you're aching to play Helldivers 2 either build a PC or buy a PS5.
