由 Arrowhead Game Studios 開發，索尼互動娛樂（SIE）發行的《絕地戰兵2》（Helldivers 2），先前宣布將在 8 月 26 日登上 Xbox Series X/S 平台引起討論，許多人都以為是開發商的要求，沒想到實際上的幕後推手居然是索尼 PlayStation 官方。 由索尼官方推動的計劃。（圖源：HELLDIVERS 2／Xbox） 日前，Arrowhead 執行長 Shams Jorjani 在官方 Discord 上表示，這次《絕地戰兵2》能登入 Xbox 平台，全都要歸功於 PlayStation，並讓玩家們去感謝 PlayStation，大讚他們做了最酷的事情之一。而 PlayStation 近幾年積拓展多平台策略，從最初的 PC 移植開始，到現在決定將《絕地戰兵2》推向 Xbox，確實讓許多玩家都十分驚喜。 而先前 PlayStation 也在招聘人才，主要也是負責在非 PlayStation 硬體平台的多平台全球商業策略。並且有爆料指出，未來將有更多第一方 PS5 遊戲登上 Xbox，但目前尚未有具體資訊。同樣的，微軟也逐漸放棄了獨佔策略，積極推動跨平台內容，像是《完美音浪》、《盜賊之海》、《印第安納瓊斯：古老之圈》等作品都陸續登上 PS5 等平台，並獲得相當不錯的成績。

Helldivers 2 CEO says "we know the game isn't in tip top shape right now" and Arrowhead devs are back from vacation to focus "100% on bug fixing and optimization"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead is well aware of the myriad bugs and optimization issues players are dealing with, and after a two-week vacation reset, CEO Shams Jorjani has committed to focusing on that stuff. Right about two weeks ago, the official Arrowhead Twitter account shared, "the team is entering Swedish Summer Protocol: 2 weeks of lakes, fika & tactical sunbathing," assuring determined freedom fighters, "service continues, the Galactic War rages on, and Super Earth still needs you. We'll be back soon, recharged and ready to drop even harder." Well, true to its word, the folks at Arrowhead took the next couple of weeks off, and their break just happened to start a few days after a balance patch dropped. It seems that update came with some bugs of its own, as Jorjani acknowledged on the official Helldivers 2 Discord that the game needs bug squashing and optimization. To be clear, these messages were sent shortly after Arrowhead jetted off on its vacation, but it's notable that Jorjani explicitly committed to addressing the game's performance post-vacation. "Most people are back on the 4th (office closure ends)," Jorjani said. "And we'll be focusing 100% on bug fixing and optimization. Sorry for the inconvenience. We know the game isn't in tip top shape right now." Jorjani also admitted "we should have left things in a better state with the last update." Since it sounds like the majority of the Helldivers team just got back to the office today, they'll presumably be head down on bugs and optimization for a little while, but Jorjani also confirmed armor color customization is "high on the list" and that "we want to take our time with such a feature" and not rush anything "until it's in a good place." "So probably not coming soon, but coming," he said. Helldivers 2 players ask for better UI with in-game info but joke it "would break 50% of the game," director says "that's mean... and also sadly true" but "we are working on an improved system"

Helldivers 2 negative reviews: Game is being review-bombed once again
Helldivers 2 is facing renewed review bombing on Steam as players express frustration over a persistent issue with its Mega-City defence mode. Arrowhead Game Studios' third-person action game, Helldivers 2, has received mixed recent reviews following complaints about the inability to complete the Equality-on-Sea defence mission. This marks the latest chapter in the game's rocky relationship with its community. Helldivers 2 getting review bombed again on Steam — Pirat_Nation 🔴 (@Pirat_Nation) May 29, 2025 Despite Helldivers 2's strong launch in 2024 and regular content updates, including the praised Galactic War live-service mode, the game has been review-bombed multiple times. Previous criticisms focused on weapon balance and controversy surrounding a mandatory PlayStation Network requirement. The latest backlash centres on the defence of Super Earth's final two Mega-Cities. Players attempting to hold Equality-on-Sea report that progress consistently caps just below 100 per cent at 99.9783 per cent. The commies are review bombing Helldivers 2 on steam — 🏴☠️W3ND1G0🏴☠️🪶🟧 (@2A_W3ND1G0) May 30, 2025 Some players interpreted this as an artificial block preventing completion. However, the game's design means the defence mission cannot reach full completion while the Illuminate continuously invade until the time limit expires. This issue has driven many negative reviews, dropping Helldivers 2's recent Steam rating to "Mixed." The frustration comes despite the "Heart of Democracy" update, which introduced these Mega-City defences and led to a notable increase in player numbers. Helldivers 2 players review bombing the game because they don't understand how the current event works — CodeNamedFerret (@CodeNamedFerret) May 29, 2025 Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Shams Jorjani has reassured fans that Helldivers 2 remains a priority, even as the studio develops a new project codenamed "Game 6." For now, players continue to defend Super Earth and engage with ongoing content, awaiting fixes and future updates.

‘Helldivers 2' Studio's Next Game Will Be Free From PlayStation Partnership
Helldivers 2 Arrowhead In an era of struggling PlayStation live service offerings, some of which will never see the light of day, a bright spot for Sony has been the huge success of Helldivers 2, the ongoing, co-op PvE game where players band together to fight bugs, bots and now rather smart aliens. Now, it's been revealed that Helldivers 2 has done so well, that developer Arrowhead's next game is going to be all theirs, and there will be no more Playstation partnership resulting in one-console exclusivity. Here's Arrowhead's Shams Jorjani on Discord: And then responding to a comment wondering about perhaps anything negative about the partnership with Sony, which is not ending, at least for the time being: Helldivers 2 Arrowhead So there's no bad blood here, Arrowhead just wants to make a game that is independent and not reliant on a specific deal so they can 'call 100% of those shots.' What this means is that whatever Arrowhead's next game ends up being will no doubt launch on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch 2 and PC, at the very least. Though it's unclear how long development will take so we could be talking about PS6 or Xbox Series X-2 (not sure what else to call that one). In January of 2025, Helldivers 2's creative director Johan Pilestedt said that 'planning and conceptualization' had begun on the next game, but again, that suggests that it is very far off. Helldivers 2 is a sequel to the original Helldivers way, way back in 2015, but it seems unlikely that whatever this new game is will take another nine years. We do not have any idea what it's about, though it is almost certainly not going to be Helldivers 3. In the past, Arrowhead has done two fantasy games (Magicka and Gauntlet) and a modern shooter (The Showdown Effect). So it's a wide range of possibilities, and now with more resources and freedom to do whatever they want. We should all look forward to whatever that is.
