If you want to play Hellraiser 2 on PC, you can download it on Steam. The game is not part of Xbox Game Pass, the subscription service for Xbox games on PC. While it would be nice to have it included in Game Pass, it’s not possible because it’s a PlayStation Studios game.

The game focuses on co-op play, and it’s easier to pick up on PC since it’s available from the start. Usually, it takes a while for PS5 exclusives to come to PC, but Helldivers 2 is an exception. You can pre-order the game on Steam and PlayStation Store.

Helldiver 2

Helldivers II is a new action game from Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It is the sequel to the 2015 game Helldivers, in which players can look down on their characters. Helldivers II will be released on PlayStation 5 and Windows on February 8, 2024.

There are two groups of enemies in the game – the robot automatons and the bug-like Terminins. They cause a lot of trouble for the people on Super Earth, and this conflict is the biggest since the last time everyone had to unite more than a hundred years ago. Each group of enemies works differently, so you need different plans and strategies to deal with them.

Being a Hellstalker is a tough job, as there are always more planets falling into enemy hands and the fight continues. Your mission is to help the ongoing war to take back planets, serve Super Earth, and bring freedom and fairness to the farthest reaches of the galaxy.

Not only will you have to defeat the enemies on Super Earth, but you’ll also have to deal with the harsh environmental challenges of strange alien worlds. After selecting a planet, you can use the War Table to choose an Operation. Operations have up to three missions, each with its own primary objective, such as eliminating an infestation, destroying enemy supplies, or acquiring valuable data.

During a mission, you might do different things, such as pursuing an important target or launching a missile attack on an enemy base. During combat, keep an eye out for resources and information to bring back to the researchers on Super Earth. Your progress helps the overall war effort and brings you closer to liberating that part of the galaxy.

Hellstalker 2 gameplay

Hellraiser 2 is different from the first Hellraiser game. While the first game was a game where you looked down at your character, Hellraiser 2 is a game where you see your character from behind, just like in the movie. As in the original game, players can select “strategies,” which are special items that can be thrown from the air.

These include cluster bombs, sentry guns, shield generators or supply pods with special weapons that can only be used a few times. Be careful, though, as you can accidentally hurt your teammates. The game’s armor system is based on the effects of real weapons on armored targets.

Helldivers 2 lets you play with up to 3 other friends. You can explore different planets together and complete objectives together as a team. As you play, you can also improve and upgrade your equipment through the game’s progression system, which means you can make your character stronger and better as you progress through the game.
