Do you have a PS4 and are wondering whether you can play Helldivers 2 on it? Read on to find out the answer to that question.
The original game was a hit with the PS4 crowd and for some months after its release was an exclusive PlayStation title. Stick with us and we will reveal if you can play the sequel, Helldivers 2 on PlayStation 4.
Arrowhead Game Studios announced that they are working on a sequel to their hit game Helldivers in 2020. At that time, the developers confirmed that they were going to change the iconic top-down view of the first game. Instead, in Helldivers 2 you will defend freedom and democracy from a third-person perspective.
Super Earth is in danger, and it is up to you along with three friends to defend Managed Democracy. This time around you will be fighting against devouring Terminids and blood-thirsty Automation Collective. Luckily, to deal with all these threats you have an array of weapons and drops at your disposal. From anti-personnel mines to sentry guns, you can deploy different boons to help bring down even the biggest of enemies.
Is Helldivers 2 playable on PS4?
Although the original game was released on PS4, this is not the case this time around. This means that no, Helldivers 2 is not playable on PS4. In addition, there is no information on behalf of the developers that they are working on a future PS4 release.
A potential reason might be that the older PlayStation console does not have the hardware needed to run updated graphics. Meaning that even in the future there might not be a version of the game available for PS4. Sadly this is how the console market works, and to play Helldivers 2 you will have to upgrade to a PS5 console to meet the hardware demands.
