1 of PlayStation’s Best Shooter Hits Potentially Dropping on Xbox and It Finally Opens the Door for Helldivers 2 to Join Up
After a 2022 FPS game, is it time for Helldivers 2 to come on Xbox?
Xbox players seem to have a great year ahead with loads of new games, and some of them are even unexpected. While gaming platforms often let their classic but exclusive games launch on other platforms, PlayStation and Xbox rarely share exclusive games. The number is not zero, but it’s substantially low. A recent update says a renowned PlayStation FPS game is about to come on Xbox Game Pass. Notably, this game is on Windows, so it is not PS-exclusive.
FPS games have always been a popular gaming genre, but after Microsoft initially talked about the PlayStation blockbuster in 2023, there has been no update about this game. However, a recent incident once again fueled the assumption of the game’s coming on Xbox Game Pass, with another rumor following it.
A 2022 Hit FPS Is About to Make Its Way to Xbox After Getting Popular on PlayStation
Indie games are gaining popularity across the world. A solid example of this is Neon White, by Annapurna Interactive and Angel Matrix. Released in 2022, this game received more than expected popularity among players, with 453k sold copies over these years. On Steam, this game generated around $3 million in the first month after release. Therefore, the wait for Xbox players to receive the game is justified.
In 2023, surprisingly, a breeze of happiness came to Xbox gamers as the announcement of Neon White coming to Xbox consoles and the Game Pass service was made. This game was announced to make its way to Xbox along with Sea of Stars, Another Crab’s Treasure, and Little Kitty, Big City.
Though the other three games are already on Game Pass, Neon White’s release date succumbed to silence until True Achievements recently published the Neon White Xbox achievement list.
The list says the game will have 44 achievements, and among them, 11 will be secret ones. However, completing these achievements will earn players a total of 1,000 Gamerscore, which is huge. Starting at 5 Gamerscore, the range will go up to 70 Gamerscore for completing an achievement.
This news is indeed exciting, but until now, there’s been no reported release date for the game on Xbox consoles or Game Pass because Microsoft is still silent about everything.
Neon White Making Its Way to Xbox: Will Helldivers 2 Be Next?
Neon White is indeed special. According to reviews, Neon White received most of the fan following because it was a speedrunning FPS where the titular protagonist, White, was tasked with killing the demons before Judgement Day. The speed of the game is impressive and uniquely designed to give players different equipment to level up faster and reach the climax as fast as possible.

However, this speed-running is well-synced with complicated puzzles, exciting gunplay, and inventive card-based combat mechanics. Everything combined made this game a popular one on PS. So, as it is coming on Xbox, naturally, it has ignited another rumor about whether Helldivers 2 is next.
Undoubtedly, Helldivers 2 is one of the most popular cooperative shooter games on PlayStation and Windows. Surprisingly, even after so many controversies and errors, the fan base for the game hasn’t broken. For Xbox players, this game is still unavailable, as Arrowhead hasn’t mentioned anything about bringing Helldivers 2 to Xbox.
However, rumors and assumptions have no bounds, and since Neon White’s achievement list for Xbox has been released, Helldivers 2 fans are assuming it is probably an opening for their favorite game to make its way to Xbox consoles and Game Pass in the near future.
This is still an assumption, with no confirmation from any official source. Therefore, Helldivers 2 may or may not come to Xbox. This wait may be prolonged without any boundaries. So, in the meantime, don’t forget to get regular updates like Xbox’s latest surprise for Game Pass subscribers or NickMercs getting banned from Twitch.
