Helldivers 2 is Coming to Xbox on August 26: Pre-Order Today
Summary
- Helldivers 2 is coming to Xbox Series X|S August 26.
- Dive into details of the upcoming third-person co-op shooter, Helldivers 2.

A new dawn is upon us. Super Earth is expanding its operations and opening new enlistment centres. Xbox players, your opportunity to enlist is coming when Helldivers 2 deploys to Xbox Series X|S on August 26.
We spoke to Helldivers 2 Game Director Mikael Eriksson on what this launch means to the studio:
“We know gamers have been asking for this for some time and we are so excited to bring more Helldivers into our game. We have so much more in store for the future months and years – and the more players we have the more stories we can tell! The fight for Super Earth has only just begun.”
Soldier, it’s time to get you caught up.
Tools of the Trade
Helldivers 2 is a cooperative, third-person feast of destruction where you and up to three squad mates step into the boots of an elite class of soldiers whose mission is to spread peace, liberty, and Managed Democracy using the biggest, baddest, and most explosive tools in the galaxy.
You will have a host of superpowered, customizable primary weapons at your disposal, as well as the ability to call on more powerful weapons called stratagems during play – there’s no limit to the damage you can do to the enemies of democracy.
The Ongoing War
Once you’re enlisted, you’ll be our boots on ground, fighting in the Galactic War, a real-time metagame where players work together to complete operations, liberate planets, and spread Managed Democracy to the furthest reaches of the galaxy.
In 2184, after many years of peace, the enemies of Super Earth emerged again to challenge the supremacy of our liberty. The Helldivers, Super Earth’s peacekeeping force, have fought valiantly against these enemies.
The Helldivers have pushed back the scourge of the Terminids, a race of insect-like aliens whose only guiding principles are to reproduce and overwhelm. They’ve faced down the Automatons, the collective of bloodthirsty robots coded for murder and socialist violence. And they fought for the freedom of Super Earth against the Illuminate, a race of mind-controlling xenophobic aliens aided by powerful technology and a will to destroy humanity.
August will be here before we know it, which means we’ve got to get you officially enlisted – we start taking pre-orders for both the Standard Edition and the Super Citizen Edition of Helldivers 2 today! With cross play on all platforms, get ready to add your strength to our ranks.
Together Helldivers, we’ll even the odds and show the bugs, bots, and squids the true meaning of democracy.
See you on the frontlines – Helldivers 2 is coming to Xbox Series X|S on August 26, 2025! Get ready to give ’em hell.

Of our very existence.

Join the greatest military force the galaxy has ever seen and make this a safe and free place to live.

You will be assembled into squads of up to four Helldivers and assigned strategic missions.
Watch each other’s back – friendly fire is an unfortunate certainty of war, but victory without teamwork is impossible.
LOADOUTS
Rain down freedom from above, sneak through enemy territory, or grit your teeth and charge head-first into the jaws of combat.

THREATS
Everything on every planet wants you dead. That’s what we’re dealing with.
Each enemy has distinct and unpredictable characteristics, tactics, and behavior – but they all fight ferociously and without fear or morality.
THE GALACTIC WAR
Capturing enemy planets, defending against invasions, and completing missions will contribute to our overall effort.
This war will be won or lost depending on the actions of everyone involved.
We stand together, or we fall apart.
