Does Helldivers 2 have crossplay?

Yes – Helldivers 2 supports cross-play between PlayStation 5 and PC players. This fact has been confirmed in PlayStation Blog In January 2024. Thanks to this feature, you can play Helldivers 2 with players on PC if you are using PlayStation 5 and vice versa. However, there are some requirements you need to keep in mind if you want to use the cross-play feature in Helldivers 2.

If you're playing on PlayStation 5, you'll need a PlayStation Plus subscription. Meanwhile, PC players need a PlayStation Network account linked to their Steam account for cross-play to work in Helldivers 2. Fortunately, creating a PlayStation Network account is free, so there's no additional cost.

It's also important to note that you'll need a friend code if you want to use the cross-play feature to play with friends in Helldivers 2. This can be easily created in the Social tab in the Pause menu and then anyone you give this code to can be searched for yourself in the same tab. Now all you have to do is accept the invitation (or have them accept the invitation, if you're the sender) and you can invite them to play.

How to disable cross-play in Helldivers 2

If you prefer to disable multiplayer in Helldivers 2, you can do so easily by following these steps:

1. Go to the Options tab in the Pause menu.
2. Select the “Play” option.
3. Look for the “Cross Play” option.
4. Select “Off”
5. Make sure to save the changed configuration

If you want to turn on the multiplayer feature again, simply follow the steps above again, but this time select “On” instead of “Off.”

I hope you enjoy using the cross-play feature in Helldivers 2! (Or don't use it, if you turn it off…)
