Helldivers 2 Xbox Launch: Crossplay Confirmed, No Cross-Progression Plans

Helldivers 2 Xbox Launch: No Cross-Progression Plans

Helldivers 2 is gearing up for its launch on Xbox, a move eagerly anticipated by fans since early 2024. Arrowhead Studios has made this announcement, indicating a significant shift in strategy regarding PlayStation published titles. However, in a recent update, the developer revealed that there are still no plans for cross-progression, a feature many players hoped would be implemented.

Crossplay Features Confirmed

While players can celebrate the news of crossplay compatibility between Xbox and existing PS5 and PC users, the limitation on transferring progress remains. On the official Xbox Wire, it's confirmed that while full crossplay will be enabled, items and progress cannot be shared between platforms.

• No ability to transfer pre-order bonuses between platforms
• Crossplay allows teamwork among players on different systems
• Full crossplay compatibility confirmed for launch

Despite previous hints from CCO Pilestedt about future possibilities for cross-progression, it seems that Arrowhead remains firm in their current stance, likely leading to disappointment among fans who were hoping for a unified progression experience. The community is buzzing with questions, including inquiries about pre-order items and their transferability, which have been met with firm denials from the development team.

While the absence of cross-progression is unfortunate, the overall experience of Helldivers 2 promises to be exhilarating for Xbox players this August. The anticipation for this multiplayer spectacle continues to build, with existing users eager to welcome newcomers to the battlefield.

Though Helldivers 2 on Xbox marks an exciting venture, the lack of cross-progression leaves some players wishing for more integration. For updates and further details, it’s worth checking guides on the game's warbonds, stratagems, and weapons to enhance gameplay as we await this release.
