The upcoming third-person shooter game Helldivers 2, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, will feature cross play support between PlayStation 5 and Windows platforms as announced by Sony on its blog post. The game is set to release on February 8, 2024 for both PS5 and PC.
Helldivers 2 is the sequel to the 2015 top-down shooter Helldivers, which followed the elite forces of the Super Earth Armed Forces as they fought against alien threats across a hostile galaxy. The sequel will switch to a third-person perspective and introduce new weapons, stratagems, and missions.
One of the most anticipated features of Helldivers 2 is the cross play option, which will allow players on different systems to team up and cooperate in various modes. According to Arrowhead Game Studios, 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. In other words, teammates on PC will be able to play with you on PS5 and vice versa.
