The gaming world is witnessing a historical moment thanks to the Helldivers 2 Xbox petition. What PC and PS gamers around the world want most right now is for their Xbox brothers-in-arms to join their battles.
The explosive popularity of Helldivers 2 on PC and PS5 has ignited a passionate movement among gamers around the world. Despite Sony publishing the game, a rapidly growing Helldivers 2 Xbox petition aims to bring this chaotic co-op shooter to Microsoft’s console.
The game’s success on Steam has surpassed even major titles like Destiny 2 and Starfield, with over 450k active 24-hour peaks according to SteamDB, establishing it as a breakout hit for Sony’s PC ventures. This immense popularity fuels the Xbox community’s desire to get in on the action, and perhaps more importantly, it is a call to arms for gamers.
Why has Helldivers 2 Xbox petition started?
Xbox gamers watch from the sidelines as Helldivers 2 explodes across PC and PlayStation. They see the thrilling battles, the desperate struggle for survival, but most importantly, they see a community united. This isn’t just about playing a fantastic game; it’s about joining a global fight.
With every successful mission, every planet liberated, the Helldivers community pushes back the darkness. Xbox players crave that sense of shared purpose. They long to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with their fellow gamers, their actions shaping the tide of an intergalactic war. The Helldivers 2 Xbox petition isn’t just about signatures on a page; it’s a battle cry, a plea to join a cause larger than any single platform.
It’s about the unbreakable spirit of gamers, their unwavering desire to fight, and to win, together.
The Helldivers 2 Xbox petition, now boasting over 60,000 signatures, highlights the intense demand for the game on Xbox, but it might not be enough to convince Sony to relinquish control.
How to join Helldivers 2 Xbox petition
Unfortunately, while there’s a strong desire from the Xbox community to bring Helldivers 2 to their platform, there’s a crucial point to understand: There’s no official Helldivers 2 Xbox petition.
The existing petitions are fan-driven initiatives to demonstrate the demand for an Xbox port. While signing the petition on change.org shows support, Sony, as the publisher, ultimately decides whether to release the game on other platforms.
Even if your actions don’t directly result in an Xbox port, they contribute to a larger conversation. Publishers take notice when there’s passionate demand for a game on other platforms. Your voice, alongside thousands of others, could potentially influence future releases and bring about a more inclusive gaming experience for all.
Will Helldivers 2 ever land on Xbox?
While Sony has embraced PC releases, there’s no indication they’ll ever bring a PlayStation-developed game to Xbox. Rare exceptions like MLB The Show don’t apply here, as those ports are handled by a third-party rather than Sony directly.
Though technically possible, a Helldivers 2 Xbox port remains a distant hope.
Xbox has grabbed amazing deals recently
Gamers have every reason to be excited! The recent Microsoft-Activision Blizzard merger is sending shockwaves through the industry. The news that Activision Blizzard games will soon arrive on Game Pass is a clear sign that major shifts are underway.
This merger could be precisely the catalyst needed for other publishers, including Sony, to reconsider their stances on console exclusivity. If massive franchises like Call of Duty and Diablo can become more inclusive, there’s hope that the Helldivers 2 Xbox petition might gain more traction, potentially opening the door for this beloved co-op shooter to land on Xbox in the future.
For now, those wanting to fight the alien hordes in Helldivers 2 must do so on PC or PS5. The game’s PC success might encourage more simultaneous PS5/PC releases from Sony in the future, but an Xbox version seems far less likely.
