Helldivers 2 Review Update – Now on Xbox Series X/S
Blog Andrew Joseph 29 Aug , 2025 0
Eventually, a little over a year and a half after release, Helldivers 2 came to Xbox, and those who still subscribe to Halo Halo builds could end up falling into hell with the rest of us. A lot has changed from now until I first reviewed it, so it's a great time to reevaluate one of the biggest (and most lasting successful) games last year. So I fired Xbox, spent hours serving the enthusiastic liberals and brought managed democracy into the galaxy. Do you know? The Helldivers 2 is still great – and there are a lot more.
Before I delve into it (do you understand?)
From time to time you guessed that you gave a comment score after the dust settled. That's just part of the business. But I never doubted that I awarded Helldivers 2 9 in 24 years. I absolutely exploded, especially with friends, now that I’ve been jumping for a while, and once I’ve been on the elected family values representative it quickly got stuck. What boat. So, what new features? Glad you ask, fellow super-Earth.
The lighting is back, they are a little unconscious
The biggest addition since the release of Helldivers 2 is Illuminate, the third enemy faction originally appeared in the Original Heller, but is obviously not in Helldivers 2 when it is launched. this Overlord Of course, the terminal and automation are still there, and if that's your package, you can still do bug hunting or visit space Vietnam, but the lighting is all else. They are technically advanced, equipped with plasma weapons and spacecraft, but they also bring horrors from world war-style walkers and rigid superhuman former citizens, known as “priceless propaganda” (the super earth propaganda never missed), and Frankenstein is a fusion of unvoted fusion of Frankenstein's monster-style fusion. For my money, they are tougher than terminals and automatons, but fighting isn't fun either because they force you to play About Their disgust rather than interacting with IT. Still, we love some of our kinds and they are back, which is great.

The launch of the Xbox version of Helldivers 2 seems like a good time for Arrowhead to finally achieve cross-play in that version, as well as in PlayStation and PC versions, but that's not the case. If you want to play on Xbox, if you do that switch, you will start with Square One. To be clear, the cross-jumper has already started with the jump and is now available on all three platforms, but it is frustrating to lose everything when I switch the platform to do this audit update.
It's not just overwhelming, either, because there's more here. More enemies, more missions, more things to unlock. At the time of release, I felt like I was going well because I was essentially forced to take over the terminal, upgrade, and then fight the automaton. Many of the people I've played with, some of them recruits, are somewhat confused about how things work, because while all the new things arrows are piled up on Helldivers 2 to keep the thriving community happy, the tutorial hasn't changed. It still doesn't teach you how to switch the shooting mode of a weapon or to enlarge the range, and although there are more tutorial popups now, they are actually more annoying than it helps.
Where did he get all these wonderful toys?
But the enemy is not the only one with some new technology. At launch, there are several Warbonds that can be unlocked: one is free and you have to pay for the other. The spending medals you receive from Warbond completing missions will allow you to unlock new weapons, armor, cloaks, real currency, and more. Now, there are a dozen, except the original one, all of which cost real money to unlock. They are priced at around $10 per share, so you can see how it adds up quickly. Now you can find real currency currencies on tasks and make money in other Warbonds, so technically you won't have It takes a long time to spend cash to get one or two or one, but it will naturally take you. For new friends who might be wondering about unlocking first, all new war cases (each weapon has a unique theme) will make it a little messed up. My advice is to maximize the freedom of Warbonds and browse them and pick one to talk to your play style. But if you do need to choose one, I suggest a democratic explosion, and it's all good.
The advantage of a new war is that there are a lot of new toys to play with. Mechas, vehicles, guns, armor, chemical weapons used for war crime enthusiasts, and more. There is even a $15 Halo ODST theme Warbond released in the Xbox version, I can't lie, the stuff there looks cool. Unfortunately, all the food you can actually use will cost you cash or a lot of time. New players who don't have a lot of money are indeed far behind.
It's still big (free?)
Hell 2 has been wrong all the time – I mean, come on, Different legal overlords Terminids is there – but the Xbox release reminds me of the way Buggy Helldivers 2 sometimes. I've seen missing textures, murders attributed to the wrong person, items floating in the air, and so on. The most interesting thing is that it is to make my teammates see me gliding on the ground instead of doing my normal masculinity run, but, yes, however, the grand plan of the Helldivers 2 has been (and still) clumsy in the grand plan. I don't think it's a big deal because as I said, I had a great time with it and the servers were good for me and my team, but worth mentioning.
A period of time
If you've never experienced Helldivers 2 (or just want to come back), there's probably no better time than now. There are plenty of new players to train and learn ropes, more content than ever before, and it's still an absolute explosion with friends. A few months later, back to Helldivers 2 reminded me of how much I liked it was back in my regular rotation. The game still dominates, even if it's wrong and too much war situation can be purchased or ground, I can't recommend it, especially if you can find a dedicated group. Now get there, soldiers. Managing democracy does not spread itself.
