HELLDIVERS 2 coming to Xbox

Hooray!

I have a friend who is Xbox only and so far the only crossplay game he has in common with our friend group is Call of Duty.

This is the greatest news this year so far.

Two years later but who cares?! I'm ready!

Just curious, but does this coming to Xbox Series X/S means people can play it on ALL the Xboxes? Like the Rog Ally, The Meta Quest etc. As much as that branding is confusing, if this is true, then that's pretty cool.

The ROG Xbox Ally is just a an Xbox branded PC. It can already play Helldivers 2. The Meta Quest is just a Meta Quest with a different color so no, unless it’s also playable via Xcloud (game streaming).
Re: Meta Quest, doesn’t play Xbox or Pc games natively at all. It has an Xbox app that allows you to stream from your Xbox or play through Xcloud. All Meta Headsets can do this.
That is to say that none of these Xbox branded hardware can play games that you own on your Xbox unless they are Play Anywhere titles.
- My understanding was that the xbox rog will actually play native Xbox installs. At least that's what I think the new "Xbox os" is capable of that will be on it, and eventually other devices.
- Oh.
  Well, thanks for the info!

It really looks like Microsoft made the worst call with their Series S compatibility mandate. Now games come out so late that as an Xbox owner, you're automatically a Patient Gamer, without the upsides. That is, if a port is released at all.

These days you can play games like Death Stranding more than half a year earlier on your iPhone.

This has nothing to do with the Series S. Helldivers is a fully Sony owned IP. I suspect Xbox asked for this as a show of good grace in exchange for Halo.
- The series S is why the launch of cyberpunk was fucked. It was out dated then and is even worse meow
I'm pretty sure that, in this specific case, the delay was mandated by the game's publisher, Sony. I doubt the Series S has anything to do with it.
