But considering the original game\u2019s deficiencies in multiplayer features, you might wonder if the upcoming Helldivers 2 will have crossplay and cross-platform or not.\u00a0 For those unaware, Helldivers 2 is set for launch on Feb. 8, 2024. Fans of the franchise are expecting to see a lot of improvements over the original 2015 experience, but if we had to pick the most popular expectation from the list, it\u2019d be for full crossplay and cross-platform support. Helldivers did offer crossplay to some extent, but it was limited, leading to uncertainty about whether Helldivers 2 would correct this gap. Don\u2019t worry, though. I\u2019m here to clear up your doubts regarding the game\u2019s platform support. Is Helldivers 2 cross-platform? Helldivers 2 will be available on PC and PlayStation 5 consoles, so yes, it does have some level of cross-platform support. Those who own PlayStation 4 or older PS consoles will miss out on this one, and gamers on Xbox consoles, old or new, will likely do, too.\u00a0 Although the developers have yet to address this part, given that Helldivers 2 has been built under Sony\u2019s shadow and the original game is exclusive to PlayStation and PC platforms, I wouldn\u2019t expect it to show up on Xbox consoles in the future. Will Helldivers 2 support crossplay? Arrowhead Game Studios and Sony have confirmed Helldivers 2 will offer crossplay on PlayStation 5 and PC. This comes courtesy of a Jan. 9 PlayStation Blog post detailing the game's PC specifications. As Arrowhead's social media and community manager Katherine Baskin writes, \"Community and teamwork are the most important pillars of Helldivers 2, and so it is essential to ensure players can work together regardless of the system they choose to use.\" Given the heavy emphasis on co-op play, it would be weird if Helldivers 2 restricted who you could team up with, especially in an age where crossplay functionality has become more commonplace. This is also an improvement on the first Helldivers' crossplay since it only applied to the various PlayStation versions (PS3, PS4, and Vita), completely omitting the PC version. There's no mention of cross-save functionality, though, so it's not like you can share one save file across both the PS5 and PC versions.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Helldivers2fetaured-2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1087996"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1087996"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1087996\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1090660,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1087996\/revisions\/1090660"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1088004"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1087996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1087996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1087996"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1087996"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1087996"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1087996"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1087996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
