Helldivers 2 on Xboxes from today.
Some early benchmarks on the consoles.
*******
On Xbox Series X, Helldivers 2 runs at 4K resolution in Quality Mode and 1080p in Performance Mode, with the usual caveat that Dynamic Resolution Scaling may be involved. The Quality Mode seems to stick to a locked 30 frames per-second for the most part, but the Performance Mode is much more variable - it's 60FPS more often that not, but has the potential to drop to as low as around 53FPS when things get particularly hectic.
On Xbox Series S, Helldivers 2 is said to run at 1440p in Quality Mode and output at 1080p in Quality Mode (but potentially with a native resolution of 635p). You can definitely notice the reduced visuals in this version, but the snippet of Performance Mode footage here suggests it's actually more stable than on Series X, running at a consistent 60FPS. And again, Quality Mode seems to stick to a mostly locked 30FPS.
As always, these early tests / comparisons should be taken with a pinch of salt, as even Fuzion Xbox Testing mentions that certain results (like the native resolutions) can be approximate, but they're still a very helpful way to at least determine whether the Xbox version is worth playing or not - and this footage suggests it's a pretty good conversion from PS5 to Series X and Series S.

MLB the Show?
EDIT: I see the technicality, Helldivers is published on the Series console under Sony, rather than by a proxy, a la The Show and Death Stranding.

I just saw it at the end of the article. It's on the internet so must be true LOL
Game is FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely LOVE the sadistic game design choice re friendly fire in a game where it gets so chaotic. Everything can and will kill you, including your and mates strategems( call ins)
With limited revives, its gonna make for some breath holding rage inducing encounters, particularly with randoms.
After google telling me NO, I was very happy to find it is gameshare. So R375 for me

Welcome to managed democracy. We have a few chaps on PS that play Helldivers as well if you guys are looking to squad up. I can play a few easy levels with you guys and share some of my weapons to try out so you know which warbonds to grind towards to get the weapons of choice. I'd recommend getting used to the game against the bugs then robots before trying out the other guys. The chaos is what makes the game fun and for the most part your team mates get the assignments.
These mofos.
Fast, deadly, jumps and can stick to walls, ceilings, ...and can go near invisible with their chameleon stealth like bull****.
And then the objectives are in a cave system where strategems can't be called in. Where friendly fire is as much an enemy as the bugs.
Where you turned around to shoot some ankle bugs closing in, and now your team has moved on, you lost in the darkness with a laser sight as your light source, and you can hear the critters, somewhere, everywhere.
BRUH!!!!!!!!!!!
Just Terrific gaming!!!

Helldivers.
Just another work day.
Can anyone join the squad? Dive into hell at the same time with people watching your back?
Absolutely, unless you set your your matchmaking to private (solo), friends only or public.
I almost never play solo. Just join a quick match/operation on the go, on whichever planet and faction this weeks mission orders are on. Community chases this for the warbond rewards, which you use to buy whatever warbond gear you like.
You can see number of players and deaths on a planet before starting.
You need to complete an operation ( 3 missions) at a difficulty to unlock the next level.
Find games very quickly at Level 6 - 8 ( extreme, suicide, impossible). Super Samples only appear on those tiers, and are required for dropship upgrades.
Helldive is level 9, with 10 being Super Helldive.

Quick question. If i am using Xbox or PS can we link with helldivers on different machines or is it segregated according to what machine you play.

It's crossplay so you will matchmake with PC, XBOX and PS
I also took a break and cameback to it over month ago. Lekker to have something to grind out as you play again. Currently enjoying the Redacted bond and stealth armour, C4 that makes Commando missions so fun.
Looking forward to new WARHAMMER warbond July 30th. Hope its decent with some lekker toys worth grinding the credits and bonds for.
