According to the official Xbox Helldivers 2 store page, this version of the game will offer all the same features as on other platforms, with guaranteed 60 fps on the 4K Ultra HD graphics preset.

Lastly, a recent leak by @Iron_S1ghts suggests that the Illuminate might return in Helldivers 2. Another leak shows new Illuminate beams appearing in the game files, likely intended for the Illusionist Cultist and Heavy Harvester. These enemies could be added after Helldivers launches on Xbox consoles, but this is not confirmed, as the leak has no official backing.
