Helldivers 2is a PlayStation console table exclusive , so it ’s not available on Xbox Series X or S. Not only has Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencervoiced his disappointment in this , but so havemanyHelldivers 2players , who are asking for more backup in the fight against the Terminids and Automatons .
If you do n’t own a PS5 or agood enough gaming PCto runHelldivers 2,you might be feeling a snatch left out . But if you ’re in the humor for a sci - fi or co - op game , there are plenty of entertain alternate options available on Xbox Game Pass . While Xbox musician ca n’t yet die for Super Earth , they can still have a great clip fighting and die in any of these Xbox Game Pass games that are playable on console .

Deep Rock Galactic
If you specifically want another sci - fi co - op plot , there are a duet of different selection for you on Xbox Game Pass . First , we haveDeep Rock Galactic , a co - op gun about place nanus who mine resource . In it , you go on missions to caves , pull together resource and complete objectives , and then fight to extract with all your gathered resource . While it ’s a bit different fromHelldivers 2with its first - someone view and accent on minelaying , its core gameplay grummet actually is n’t too far off from that game . It can offer you plenty of nail - prick emergent consequence that you and your Quaker will be let the cat out of the bag about workweek after the fact , which is a hallmark of a fantastic co - op secret plan .
Gears 5
Helldivers 2finally gives PlayStation a console - exclusive answer to Xbox ’s cogwheel of War , its flagship co - op third - person shooter franchise . Obviously , that also mean that playingGears 5is a good Xbox Game Pass alternative . If you ’re miss the unmarried - player or tale element fromHelldivers 2 , Gears 5features a full campaign that will definitely scratch that itch . And if some Centennial State - op action is all you want , The Coalition ’s secret plan has a cooperative horde mode , as well as Escape , a mission - ground mode more similar to the experience thatHelldivers 2provides . If Sony contrive to never bringHelldivers 2to Xbox , then it ’s impudent for Xbox player to show Microsoft we want more of the close first - party franchise to Helldivers that it can offer .
Remnant II
Asleeper hit from 2023,Remnant IIis the co - op shooter to diddle if you enjoy the brutally difficult nature ofHelldivers 2 . It ’s a looter shooter that observe a way to incorporate Soulslike ingredient into its shootout . LikeHelldivers 2on hard difficulty , Remnant IIcan be crushingly difficult sometimes , but that do success all the more satisfying . Its roguelike setup and procedural contemporaries systems also have in mind each mortal ’s campaign is different , adding toRemnant II’sreplay factor and enabling some really memorable moment in co - op . Remnant IIalso features thebest honcho fightsI’ve encounter in a Colorado - op plot .
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide
If mowing through hordes of enemies is the action fromHelldivers 2that you feel like you ’re missing on Xbox , then I ’d recommendWarhammer 40,000 : Darktide . This four - participant co - op , first - person shooter is brutally satisfying to play and emphasizes melee a stack more than the other games on this leaning . LikeHelldivers 2 , it understands that there ’s unsubdivided fun to be had in sci - fi shooter ability phantasy , but also is n’t afraid to make things a slew more difficult to impel a crushing defeat or inebriate winnings .
Back 4 Blood
Back 4 Blood’szombie premise and mission - based setup are very dissimilar from whatHelldivers 2offers , but this is apersonal co - op favorite of mine . It is made by Turtle Rock , the same studio behind the Left 4 Dead game , and features some of the best cooperative commission and level invention I ’ve seen in this wave of AAA crap-shooter . Back 4 Blood’scard organisation also can drastically alter the difficulty and prick at players ’ administration from run to run , making for a conjunctive experience that can be just as unpredictable asHelldivers 2’smissions . Back 4 Bloodis a distich of year old and mental object all over now , so you do n’t have to concern about a tail of alive overhaul support or overcrowded servers anymore .
Exoprimal
While you’re able to annihilate bug and Terminator - dash automaton inHelldivers 2 , you ca n’t bolt down dinosaurs . That ’s the unique power phantasy that Capcom ’s underrated 2023 PvPvE shooterExoprimaloffers . Its exosuit hook offers the gameplay variety of a torpedo taw , the drove of dinosaur it sometimes throws at players are technically impressive , and it even offer a wildlyinnovative glide path to multiplayer storytellingthat I like more games likeHelldivers 2copied . Its main way also lend PvP showdown at the end of a catch , which is something you ca n’t get fromHelldivers 2 . WhileExoprimalflew under the microwave radar after its release last July , I ’d recommend you check it out on Xbox Game Pass now if you ’re getting itchy over not being able to playHelldivers 2 .
