The lack of a single-player campaign in Helldivers 2 might be a drawback, but that is negated by the crossplay functionality, which connects PS5, PC, and Xbox gamers. This decision is undoubtedly the optimal one and is warmly embraced by players on both platforms.

The sole concern regarding crossplay lies in the clash between players who employ controllers and PC users equipped with a keyboard and mouse. The latter possesses a greater level of precision, particularly in competitive shooting games.

However, since the latest Helldivers game is designed for PvE gameplay, console players might find solace in having a skilled PC player on their team, as they can offer valuable assistance and contribute significantly to the team's success.

How to use the crossplay feature in Helldivers 2

If you're playing solo, the crossplay feature is already enabled, and you can queue up with players across available platforms. If you're opting for crossplay with specific people, make sure to add them first using the friend code. You can find it in the Social menu section.

Next, generate a friend code and send it to your friends, or vice versa. After adding the friends, join a lobby together and queue up to crossplay in Helldivers 2. Meanwhile, the developers are yet to confirm the inclusion of cross-progression as a feature.
