Helldivers 2 has taken the gaming world by storm, and if you're an Xbox owner, you might be wondering how much it'll cost you to join the fight for democracy. The short answer is that Helldivers 2 costs around $40 for the standard edition on Xbox. However, there's a bit more to it than that.

Helldivers 2 Editions and Prices on Xbox

Helldivers 2 is available in two editions on the Xbox Store:

• Standard Edition: This will set you back around $40. It includes the full base game, which is more than enough to get you started on your Helldiving career. I remember when I first got the game, I was a bit hesitant to spend the money, but after my first few missions, I was completely hooked. The feeling of taking down a massive bug with a well-placed orbital strike is just unbeatable.
• Super Citizen Edition: This edition costs around $60 and includes the base game, as well as some extra goodies like a special armor set, a unique weapon, and a premium warbond. I upgraded to the Super Citizen Edition after a few weeks of playing, and I have to say, the extra gear is pretty cool. The armor set looks awesome, and the weapon is a lot of fun to use.

It's also worth noting that Helldivers 2 is not currently available on Xbox Game Pass. While there have been some rumors and speculation, the developers have confirmed that there are no plans to bring the game to the service anytime soon.

If you're looking to make some in-app purchases in Helldivers 2, you can use Playstorm to earn Xbox gift cards by playing free games on your phone. It's a great way to get some extra cash to spend on new weapons and armor.
