Disappointing news for Xbox gamers, multiplayer shooter game Helldivers 2 is rumored to be canceled to appear on the microsoft console. According to the podcast XboxEraHelldivers 2 will certainly not appear on Xbox consoles and will remain an exclusive game for PC and PlayStation.
The news is certainly disappointing for Xbox gamers because Helldivers 2 is one of the most popular games this year with the number of players who had broken the number of more than 450 thousand gamers playing at the same time on Steam. Although the number of players is not as high as before, this multiplayer shooter game is still in great demand. Its presence on Xbox is certainly expected to boost the game's popularity again.
In April 2024, Helldivers 2 was rumored to be coming to the Xbox console. The news was welcomed by Xbox gamers who have also been waiting for this game to come to their favorite console.
The absence of Helldivers 2 on Xbox indicates that Sony prefers to distribute its games more exclusively. They adopted the strategy of releasing the game exclusively for PlayStation in the first year and bringing it to PC later. Meanwhile, Xbox is completely left out.
This business strategy is in contrast to Xbox, which prefers to release its games on multiple playforms at once. Despite acquiring big studios like Bethesda and Activision Blizzard, Microsoft still allows their flagship games to be released on PlayStation, one of which is Call of Duty 6.
Do you prefer the PlayStation or Xbox way of distributing games?
