Sony PlayStation to release its Helldivers 2 game on Xbox: What it means
According to a TechRadar report, Xbox exclusive games that are confirmed for release on PlayStation this year include Lost Soul Aside (releasing on August 29) and Ghost of Yotei (releasing on October 2). Sony didn't promise any game for release on Xbox officially yet; however, with the release of Helldivers 2, this is set to change. It is expected that Sony's gaming division would open more exclusive titles to Xbox in the near future. At the moment, it is unclear which other PlayStation exclusive games will be making their way to Xbox platforms.
Helldivers 2: Details
Helldivers 2 is a third-person cooperative shooter developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Set in a dystopian sci-fi world, players take on the role of Helldivers—soldiers from a regime called Super Earth—who carry out missions across alien planets.
These missions involve team-based combat against enemies such as insect-like Terminids and robotic Automatons. A key gameplay mechanic is the use of 'Stratagems,' which let players call in support like airstrikes, turrets, or shields, with the added challenge of friendly fire always being active.
Released on February 8, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC, Helldivers 2 has been noted for its emphasis on teamwork and coordination. It has received attention for its responsive combat system, layered difficulty, and darkly satirical tone. The game is now set to release on Xbox Series X/S on August 26, 2025.

Who is Barron Trump's rumored girlfriend? Netizens desperate to know about newfound ‘love' of the President's son
The internet is buzzing with rumors that Barron Trump, the 19-year-old son of former President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, has a mystery girlfriend. According to an anonymous source close to the NYU freshman, "Barron has a really nice girlfriend and hangs out with her a lot." The report from NewsNation revealed no names, backgrounds, or clues about the young woman, setting off wild speculation across social media platforms. Ever since this revelation in the report, the Internet has gone berserk about the identity of the newfound 'love' of Barron Trump. This comes just months after Donald Trump stated in an October 2024 podcast interview that he didn't believe his son had ever had a girlfriend, remarking, "I'm not sure he's there yet" while acknowledging Barron's popularity as a 'good-looking guy.' True to his reputation as the Trump family's most private member, Barron appears to be shielding his rumored romance from public view. Described as "much more like his mother, Melania," he maintains a low profile on campus, attending classes before heading home and avoiding political events like the 2024 Republican National Convention. His discreet lifestyle includes communicating with friends through gaming platforms like Discord and Xbox due to Secret Service restrictions on sharing his phone number. Despite his towering 6'7" presence and famous lineage, classmates describe him as a "reclusive" figure who dresses casually in polo shirts and chinos while studying finance at NYU's Stern School of Business. Online reactions to the dating rumors range from intrusive to protective, with Instagram users demanding the girlfriend's handle "to advise her personally" and critics warning, 'stay far away from this family!' While some speculate about potential matches—including WNBA star Caitlin Clark or European royalty, insiders confirm the Secret Service is "well-versed in handling" such relationships discreetly. Amid the frenzy, Barron continues focusing on his studies and cryptocurrency ventures, reportedly earning nearly $40 million from family-linked digital assets. As one source summarized: 'He keeps his head down and gets on with it.'
