Helldivers 2 is added today to the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium game catalogs, allowing subscribers to access the 2024 co-op shooter through the subscription service. Sony confirms the update ahead of a wider August 2026 PlayStation Plus game lineup announcement.
Multiple outlets report the game becomes available immediately for all regions included in the subscription tiers discussed, with some sources noting that members do not need to wait for later global rollout. VICE also characterizes the update as “huge,” indicating the addition comes alongside additional content or improvements rather than a standalone catalog change. Eurogamer notes that Helldivers 2 is not part of the Essential tier, and Push Square highlights that the broader PlayStation Blog reveal for August 2026 is scheduled for later.
While outlets differ slightly in emphasis—Push Square focuses on timing and the upcoming full lineup reveal, VICE highlights a large update, and Eurogamer places the news in the context of Sony’s confirmation and tier availability—each reports the same core point: Helldivers 2 joins PS Plus Extra and Premium today worldwide.
