It seems Microsoft has been closely following theHelldivers 2discourse, with players fiercely campaigning for an Xbox release. In response, the Game Pass library will see the addition of a comical co-op shooter in March that will hopefully quench the players’Helldivers-sized thirst.

This resonated brilliantly with gamers, and the co-op shooter skyrocketed in popularity, with over8 million copies sold(estimated) and over 450,000 maximum concurrent players on Steam.
Helldivers 2exceeded Arrowhead’s expectations by miles, with the enormous influx of players severely overwhelming servers at launch. The issues are fixed now, save for another lapsethanks to the mech addition.
