Xbox’s fight against PlayStation is slowly shifting from hardware to software as they focus more on selling Game Pass subscriptions rather than selling their consoles. Additionally, their next console is also rumored to be less of a traditional Xbox console and more of a mini PC of sorts.

The potential Steam integration in Xbox hardware poses a worrying prospect for PlayStation since its exclusive titles may be available on the platform of its direct competitor. Whether PlayStation allows this is a topic for another time, but for now, let’s discuss what the Steam integration can do.

Helldivers 2 could see a surge of players if Xbox manages to bring Steam to the platform

, and if this Steam integration goes through, it could offer a whole lot more.

Xbox’s ‘play anywhere’ strategy is in full swing as leaker ‘

’s oversight also caused a visual mockup of the new Xbox app UI to appear, which they quickly removed as it featured a Steam filter within the app. It’s all but confirmed at this point, and they’re not doing a great job hiding it. Once Steam officially arrives on the platform, it could potentially mean more players finally joining the battle for Super Earth in Helldivers 2.

With 120 million players on Xbox and a majority of them having decades of experience in Halo, the entire trajectory of Helldivers 2 can change for the better. It’s like they’ve been preparing for this moment their whole life.

It seems like

 instead of their own consoles. The question remains, though: Is PlayStation ready to welcome Xbox players on Helldivers 2 through Steam’s integration with the platform? Let’s look into the possibilities.

Will PlayStation allow Helldivers 2 on Xbox through Steam integration?
PlayStation is ridiculously rigid when it comes to its exclusives, so the chances of Helldivers 2 potentially making its way on Xbox through Steam integration are very slim.

, as PlayStation’s strategy is aggressive, and they rarely distribute their exclusives to competing platforms.

If Helldivers 2 were to debut through Steam integration, that would mean PlayStation’s entire catalogue on Steam would be available to purchase on Xbox, which is probably one of PlayStation’s worst nightmares. Imagine playing titles like God of War, Uncharted, and Marvel’s Spider-Man on the platform. It would take more than a miracle for something like that to happen.

Chances are low but never zero, and Xbox has been very liberal with its exclusives, offering up their flagship

and Gears of War to PlayStation without any discrepancy. Will they return the favor, though? Probably not.

Considering how PlayStation is, Xbox players should consider themselves lucky if Helldivers 2 does make its way to the platform through Steam’s integration.

So, what do you think about the prospect of having Steam on Xbox? Do you think it’s good for the platform’s future, or is it just another case of throwing stuff at the wall and hoping it sticks? Share your thoughts and opinions in the comment section below.
