Is There a Helldivers 2 PS4 Release Date

Will There be a Helldivers 2 PS4 Release Date?

Given the game’s popularity, players are wondering if there’s a Helldivers 2 PS4 release date in the works. The game has been a sensation on PS5 and PC, so it’d make sense for Arrowhead Game Studios to port it to Sony’s previous-gen console. We’ll take a look at whether it’s in the works or not.

Will Helldivers 2 come to PS4?

Will there be a Helldivers 2 PS4 Port

No, there’s not a Helldivers 2 PS4 release date scheduled. Neither Sony nor Arrowhead Game Studios have announced a PS4 port for the game, and it’ll be staying on PS5 and PC for the foreseeable future.

Despite the massive PS4 install base, it would likely be too much trouble to adapt Helldivers 2 for the console. The game relies on fast loading times to get players into matches quickly, which is facilitated by the PS5’s SSD. It would also likely be a challenge to seamlessly load the expansive maps seen in the game on the PS4.

Of course, we could always get a surprise port. PS4s outnumber PS5s by around 2 to 1. So, opening up the game to another 120 million potential sales would certainly be appealing. However, given the popularity of Helldivers 2, Sony might be counting on it as a PS5 system seller.

While the allure of expanding Helldivers 2 to the PS4’s vast user base is undeniable, the technical and performance demands of the game might hinder such a move. The enhanced capabilities of the PS5, particularly its SSD, enable a smoother and more immersive gaming experience that may translate poorly to the older console.

Although the financial incentive for a PS4 version is substantial, the current focus is likely on leveraging Helldivers 2 to showcase the PS5’s advanced features. Unless there’s a significant shift in strategy, Helldivers 2 will likely remain a next-gen exclusive, underscoring the transition to newer gaming technology.
