The galaxy is calling, and now Xbox players can finally answer. Helldivers 2, Arrowhead’s chaotic co-op shooter, officially launched on Xbox Series X|S on August 26, 2025, marking the first time the game has been available outside of PlayStation and PC.
To celebrate the release, Arrowhead dropped an all new Major Order called “Sweet Liberty”, and it is nothing short of colossal. The mission? Players must stand together to repel a staggering 8.5 billion enemies, a mix of Automatons, Terminids, and Illuminate, in an interstellar fight for survival.
Victory will not just bring glory. Successful Helldivers can earn up to 175 Warbond Medals, a hefty chunk of progression currency, along with access to new weapons and armor. Among the biggest rewards is content from the Halo 3 ODST Legendary Warbond, a crossover that pays tribute to Xbox’s sci fi shooter legacy.
Xbox players arrive just as the game is hitting peak popularity, with cross play ensuring that new recruits can join their PC and PlayStation comrades on the frontlines. With Sweet Liberty testing the strength of the community and the Halo crossover sweetening the deal, Helldivers 2’s Xbox debut looks set to supercharge the game’s ongoing war effort.
