Arrowhead Games Studio CEO Shams Jorjani has commented on the possibility of cross-platform progression coming to Helldivers 2 in the future. While it doesn't seem to be on the verge of arrival any time soon, the update certainly isn't all bad news for Helldivers 2 players.

Helldivers 2 is one of the most successful games in recent years, following its incredible release in early 2024. It originally launched on just PC and PlayStation 5, leaving the Sony-published game out of reach for Xbox users. However, that all changed in August 2025, when Helldivers 2 finally released on Xbox Series X/S. With the game coming to another platform, player demand for cross-platform progression has only increased over time, but Arrowhead's CEO has seemingly put a dampener on that for the time being.

Helldivers 2 CEO Says 'Other Things Take Priority' Over Cross-Platform Progression

Helldivers 2 Cross-Platform Progression CEO Response-1

Over in the Helldivers 2 Discord, CEO Jorjani replied to a fan about the possibility of adding cross-platform progression to the game. His response claims that "fwiw we'd love to add cross platform progression but other things take priority." Whether this is good or bad news is a matter of perspective. Sure, it's bad that it's not imminent as Helldivers 2 has much more pressing issues, but Jorjani didn't totally shut down the idea totally. That the studio would "love" to add the feature offers some hope that cross-platform progression could arrive at some point in the distant future.

For now, the reluctance to add cross-platform progression to Helldivers 2 makes a lot of sense from the developer's perspective. The studio recently claimed that it's changing its approach to Helldivers 2's development, prompted by ongoing performance issues that only seem to be getting worse. As great a feature as cross progression would be for many gamers, it does seem like something that can wait and arrive further down the line.

At the moment, Helldivers 2 is looking to release new patches every two weeks in order to sort out those frustrating performance problems. It could be a while before the game is back on track to its more typical content roadmap, as the developer has given no indication as to how long it plans to maintain its approach.
