Will Helldivers 2 come to PS4? Best alternatives explained
04.03.2024 - 15:45 / radiotimes.com / Sony / Will
Helldivers 2 has proven to be wildly successful, though the endless stream of hilarious clips has no doubt left PS4 players looking on in envy like Squidward does to SpongeBob and Patrick — and that begs the question, «Will Helldivers 2 come to PS4?»
Without giving anything away, we have prepared a list of great alternatives for those looking to get their alien-smashing online antics on Sony’s 2013 vintage machine to have fun of their own.
You may even find that you prefer our offerings so much that Helldivers 2 becomes but a memory – unless, of course, the «2» moniker has you asking questions about the first game. It’s good news on that front, though!
Before you erupt in a FOMO overload, however, let’s get straight to it. Read on to see what the situation is regarding Helldivers 2 on PS4, and for a list of some excellent games to play instead.
No, Helldivers 2 is not coming to PS4 as far as we are aware.
No plans for such a thing have been announced, and the performance can dip in heavier scenes on the PS5, so getting it to work on the last-gen console may be a bit of a stretch – especially given how many enemies can be on screen at once.
With how popular Helldivers 2 is proving to be, it’s no doubt helping to drive sales for the PS5 – something Sony will be all too happy about, as it just announced the console is entering the «latter stage of its life cycle», as reported by Takashi Mochizuki and Yuki Furukawa for Bloomberg.
This is due to the console not meeting sales targets for 2023, which Sony expects to continue in 2024, perhaps going some way towards explaining the recent PlayStation Studios layoffs.
While Helldivers 2 may not be coming to the PS4, we don’t want to leave you empty-handed, so below we’ve listed what we think are some of the best alternatives to play right now on PS4.
Let’s start off with the obvious – the original Helldivers! The game is practically the same, save for the difference in perspective — as it’s played from a top-down isometric view.
Much of the same silly antics, tongue-in-cheek satire and stratagems are all present.
There’s even an entirely additional enemy faction to battle against, making it more fleshed out in other areas compared to its more popular sequel.
You can pick up the game on PC (or PS3 and even the PS Vita!) instead, if you’d prefer.
Rock and Stone! The delightfully dwarven Deep Rock Galactic has plenty of belly-laugh online moments as you face off seemingly endless hordes of aliens in PvE co-op matches.
You’ll also do plenty of mining on top of shooting, making for some more varied gameplay.
Like Helldivers, there are upgrade paths for better loot and a huge community to be part of, and it shows no sign of stopping anytime soon. You can also opt to
