We know it’s been a long wait but it’s finally time to reveal more about the PC release of HELLDIVERS™ 2. We know what’s on your mind, first and foremost: Is it crossplay?

And we’re pleased to announce that HELLDIVERS™ 2 supports crossplay! That means your teammates on PC can play with you on PS5 and vice versa. Community and teamwork are the most important pillars of HELLDIVERS™ 2, and so it is essential to ensure players can work together regardless of the system they choose to use. Together we can celebrate victories, mourn losses, and liberate the galaxy without platform boundaries.



As part of this announcement, we’re also finally able to provide you with the minimum, recommended, performance, and ultra system specifications for PC players to ensure that no matter what kind of equipment your squad uses to play – PS5 or PC with a broad range of supported PC hardware – you’ll be able to spread Managed Democracy together.



Wondering if your PC can handle HELLDIVERS™ 2? Here are our PC system specifications:



Now you’re armed with crossplay and the required specs to go on your very first dive. It’s not much longer to wait, recruits: HELLDIVERS™ 2 is launching on February 8, and pre-orders are open now. We can’t wait to see you on the battlefield!

Citizens and Helldivers, it’s Liberty Day! Every year on October 26th, we celebrate the anniversary of Managed Democracy on Super Earth, where they fought from the darkness into the light of Freedom.

Our veteran Helldivers are familiar with our most important holiday, but as we prepare to launch HELLDIVERS™ 2 next year, we’re also welcoming a whole new generation of players to celebrate with us.

So what is Liberty Day? We had a chat with founder Malin Hedström, Lucy Armelin from community & support, and narrative lead Nils Hansson Bjerke about the inspiration behind the holiday, both in-game and out.

And finally… We require that all new recruits take a moment to reflect on what Super Earth has done for democracy. By Super Earth law, you are required to view this year’s Liberty Day PSA, but from us at Arrowhead we hope you also enjoy it.

Wishing you all a happy Liberty Day!
HELLDIVERS™ 2 is almost here, recruits! We’ll see you on the battlefield on February 8th!

[h3]It’s time, Helldivers.[/h3]

This is Katherine from Arrowhead Game Studios bringing you the biggest announcement yet: HELLDIVERS™ 2 launches on 8th February 2024!

Pre-purchase for both the Standard Edition and the Super Citizen Edition of HELLDIVERS™ 2 are now available – enlist today to fight for the liberty of Super Earth.

Be the hero of Super Earth, defender of Freedom, herald of Managed Democracy.
Team-up with your fellow Helldivers and fight more than just bugs: now the Automaton faction has emerged to threaten our liberty.

Descended from the Cyborgs, an old enemy familiar to our HELLDIVERS community, these mechanized killing machines are determined to wipe out the Super Earth way of life.
The bots are an intelligent and relentless foe, you and your squad will have to gather your most powerful weapons and strategize on how best to wipe them out.



It won’t be long before you and up to three recruits can team-up for online cooperative multiplayer.

Unleash large-scale destructive power through stratagems, explore unique planets and complete objectives together, and upgrade your equipment through the deep progression system of HELLDIVERS™ 2. Collect natural resources of alien origin and use them to enhance and unlock new stratagems aboard your ship.



The planning for liberty starts today as you need to choose between the Standard Edition and the Super Citizen Edition of HELLDIVERS™ 2, which includes some awesome additional content!

The extra goodies in the Super Citizen Edition include a special “DP-53 Savior of the Free” armour set, and – because heroes wear capes – the “Will of the People” cape to make you stand out among the liberated.

You’ll also gain access to the “MP-98 Knight” submachine gun, which is a powerful primary weapon that tears through bots and bugs – oh, and Helldivers as well because of fatal friendly fire.



In addition to those, you’ll attain Super Citizen status for your Helldiver and get the “Stratagem Hero” mini-game for your ship – it’s great to play while you wait for the rest of your team to join your lobby.

You’ll also receive access to our Premium Warbond content for “Steeled Veterans”.

And we’re offering some pre-purchase bonuses on top of this.

If you pre-purchase HELLDIVERS™ 2 today, you’ll receive three spiffy new armour sets:

• TR-7 Ambassador of the Brand – a promotional armour set for fans of SUMY Corp’s frozen yogurt.
  
• TR-62 Knight – armour crafted to deliver justice to the darkest crevices of the galaxy.
  
• TR-9 Cavalier of Democracy – bearers of this armour ride no equine mount, but are nonetheless borne to battle atop the trusty steed of Liberty.
  

To see just one of the many challenges you face on your mission for Democracy, check out our gameplay video where you’ll see studio CEO Johan Pilestedt and team take on a formidable Bile Titan.
