Helldivers 2 hits Xbox Series consoles two years later

On August 26, the cooperative action game Helldivers 2 was released on Xbox Series X/S consoles, which marked a change in Sony's strategy regarding multi-platform releases. The game was ported by Nixxies Software, with the initiative coming directly from Sony, which indicates recognition of the success of the cross-platform strategy after its impressive results on PC.

Xbox owners got access to the project a significant time after the initial release, when the peak excitement around the game had already died down - on the Steam platform, the simultaneous online player count had dropped from hundreds of thousands to about sixty thousand. However, these figures remain significant for a multiplayer project, and the release on a new platform may revive interest in the game.
