Is Helldivers 2 Crossplay?
Yes, it does. Crossplay is available and ready to use.
Helldivers 2 can be played on a PC or PS5. You can also use it on handheld devices that run SteamOS or Windows. The game runs well on PC, even on older and less powerful hardware, making handheld gaming a good option.
It’s not surprising that Helldivers 2 isn’t available on Xbox, since Sony is the publisher. Still, Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, has said that Helldivers 2 not being on Xbox “isn’t helping the industry.” I agree with him and wish there were no exclusives.
How to Use Crossplay in Helldivers 2?
Just start playing. Crossplay is on by default, so you don’t need to do anything special. If you prefer to play only with PC or PS5 users, you can turn off crossplay in the Options menu.
Helldivers 2 offers one of the best crossplay experiences, so jump right in (pun intended).
However, to play with friends on another platform, you need to add them in the game. Each player can create a unique number to share. The other player enters this number in their game to add you as a friend.
Does Helldivers 2 Have Cross-Progression?
Unfortunately, no, not yet. This feature was supposed to come out soon after the game’s launch, but it hasn’t been released.

This delay makes sense because Helldivers 2 has been so popular that the servers were overwhelmed. The developers have been focused on ensuring the game can support all the players.
Now that things have settled, they’re likely working on future features again, so we can hope cross-progression will arrive soon.
