Comment on HELLDIVERS 2 coming to Xbox

Just curious, but does this coming to Xbox Series X/S means people can play it on ALL the Xboxes? Like the Rog Ally, The Meta Quest etc. As much as that branding is confusing, if this is true, then that’s pretty cool.

The ROG Xbox Ally is just a an Xbox branded PC. It can already play Helldivers 2. The Meta Quest is just a Meta Quest with a different color so no, unless it’s also playable via Xcloud (game streaming).
Re: Meta Quest, doesn’t play Xbox or Pc games natively at all. It has an Xbox app that allows you to stream from your Xbox or play through Xcloud. All Meta Headsets can do this.
That is to say that none of these Xbox branded hardware can play games that you own on your Xbox unless they are Play Anywhere titles.

My understanding was that the xbox rog will actually play native Xbox installs. At least that’s what I think the new “Xbox os” is capable of that will be on it, and eventually other devices.

Nope. Not at all. It’s literally just an ROG Ally with an Xbox skin.

Oh, you’re right, I think I confused the Play Anywhere as a native install. The “xbox os” is just a streamlined windows os

Oh.
Well, thanks for the info!
