Eligible Extra and Premium members can access the PS5 game while the catalog entitlement remains active.
Helldivers 2 joined the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium Game Catalog on August 12, 2026. Eligible PS5 members can access the game under the current catalog listing, subject to region and service availability.
Game Catalog access is not permanent ownership. It depends on the subscription remaining eligible and the title remaining in the catalog. If either condition ends, a separate purchase may be required to continue, while account data remains subject to PlayStation and game-service rules.
The game is online only, so console multiplayer service requirements still apply. Check the PlayStation Store on the intended account and region rather than relying on a screenshot from another country.
Catalog access also does not create cross-buy on PC or Xbox. A PlayStation subscription copy remains tied to the PlayStation account, and Arrowhead does not support moving progression or purchased items to a different platform. If a player already owns another version, crossplay is sufficient for joining PlayStation friends; starting through the catalog creates a separate PlayStation diver rather than importing the existing one.
