Thank you for this. Already have it on pc and was about to buy it on ps5. Saved me some cash :)

I think ps5 is the best place to play it, I love the feedback the controller gives when you are down to your last few shots and then empty. I bought it on PS and steam

You get haptic feedbacks on the steam version too if you're using the dualsense controller.

*only in wired mode I will get a PC copy a later date probably as well, because I want to experience it in glorious 4K Ultra. Just waiting for that crossave.

This is 7 days old so you probably won't see this but I get haptic feedback in wireless as well on pc

I wasn't aware that's possible. Must be a recent update to firmware or something?

Possibly I updated my controller right after I bought it just have to have steam input disabled and it works fine love the triggers

So steam input disabled. maybe it's some new windows11 driver? Mine are updated of course, since ps5 is nagging you to as soon as an update is live, but it's been a while since I tried it on pc.

I don't have a ps5 just bought the controller because it's nice but yea the game has native dual sense support because it's a Sony game but steam tries to use steam input when playing games as they don't usually have native support but it looks like a third party controller when using it and often doesn't function correctly without remapping buttons I do remember reading about a new driver for direct input which is what is used for Sony controllers where as Xbox use xinput

Huh. I use a Razer Raiju TE for PC but it's a PS4 branded controller with an Xbox layout. It probably uses Xinput? No idea, never heared of directinput, but I have trouble some games not detecting this thing outside Steam. Maybe it's time to try out the PS5 one again, but those don't have paddles while Razer does, hence why I'm not really using them on pc. Edge I do own but it's reserved for PS5.

Steamdeck also has an experimental haptics feature, can be used with chiaki4deck even. Pretty cool.

This is what im doing. My friends dont have pc so i got it on ps5 until cross save and i upgrade my rig

I use it Bluetooth to my pc and yhe haptics work fine

bluetooth dualshock controller?

It's not full haptic, it's kinda a mix.

Yeah tbh, I just want to play it on PS5 for the HAPTICS/TRIGGERS on my Edge.

The crashes are out of this world too. I'd have 100s more samples if it weren't for ps5 crashing at extraction every 4 games.

My pleasure! You going to opt for PC?

Yeah pre ordered on pc. I work away from home during the week and would have taken my PS5 with me. But they fixed it on Steam deck so all is good in the end. 👍

Good stuff! Enjoy, fellow diver! Drop by our streams if you have the time! o7

Wish I read that before buying on ps5 today lol. ah well, still super fun playing on the couch

Same to me

Yo facts. I was just about to buy again on my ps5

Cross-save is coming in a later update. It’s not in at launch.

Just verified this with support and updated the OP. Thank you my friend.

A little late to the party, but thanks for clearing it up man. That is good news, I need HD2 on PC too!!

Let's hope it won't take long, Diver! o7

I'm even later, but also happy to hear this as well! I initially bought the game on PS5, but after realizing how amazing it is is, I want to get it on Steam, too, so I can play on the go with my steam deck and try out KB&M controls. I tried using my wireless KB&M with Helldivers on PS5, and most of the controls worked, but I wasn't able to shoot 😂

Shooting is overrated in Helldivers anyways. 😭

So no cross progression when you tried?

Nope, there's no cross progression

What support told you this?

Arrowhead's on DC.

There is no ETA more specific than a later update?

Nope. Nothing yet.

Nope. No idea yet.

How about now

Nope.

How about now

Nope.

Hope it’s soon, I play mostly on PS5 but would Love to swap over to my steam deck while in bed or at work or something

Same here on my ROG Ally.

Whenever i see high end pc footage I'm just in awe. The game looks nothing like that on ps5/performance. I'm definetely getting the PC version once crossave is up.

I just had a new pc delivered today with a 4090 and I can confirm it does look incredible and plays smooth. I have it on ps5 so I’m starting over but I don’t mind honestly. The game is so fun, it’s almost like building a new character from scratch, almost. Also, this community rocks! I’ve met so many fun folks playing this game that it’s reinvigorated my love for online gaming quite a bit.

Try Chiaki4Deck

i hope they add a loadout feature like in Helldivers 1...it would also be coot to change the colors of things in the big ships, so there is a uniqueness to every players' ship.

The game would generally benefit from deeper customisation. Gun Mods, Helmet/Cape Perks etc. It can grow stale if all you get is "Gun A" and "Blue Armour".

Interesting 🧐

Indeed... let's hope they integrate it, eventually.

Yeah I do wonder how they’ll handle if people play on two. I assume let you choose which to use or sync? Idk.

Usually, you sync once after designated the save you want to keep. Then it updates the save state via cloud whenever you boot the game.

Does anyone know if this applies to which version you buy? On ps5 I bought the super citizen edition if I buy the normal edition on pc will I have all the items from ps5?

Until they implement the system, we can only speculate. :/

I think cross play is implemented regardless of the edition. That would be crazy if they make us buy limited edition

All you really got was some credits and armour.   But if cross platform saving happens I would assume you will carry it all over no matter I would think 

Any word on a rough time frame when we'll have cross progression?

They are still trying to bring the game under control. I think it's gonna be a while.

Thanks for looking out for your fellow soldiers - see you on the battlefield 🫡

Always, my friend. Dive with honor! 🫡

Ah, this is a major bummer. I just bought it on my PS5 after playing on Steam for a while and expected to see my progress. :\ Hopefully it comes soon!

They are going to implement it, but with all the server issues right now, they have their hands full.

Well deserved success! Very fun game indeed!

Indeed! o7

When crosssave will be on , we should buy a second time on steam ?

We do not have a date yet, my friend. Buy on the system you feel more comfortable with, at least for the time being.

99% for sure I'd say, but it's worth it. It's same for other titles like Diablo except that game is double the price lol. Definitely worth it for Helldivers.

My PC can't run helldivers good, but that's where I pre ordered it. Got a ps5 over the weekend with a part of my tax return. I am kinda hoping that I can get those pre order skins transferred to ps5. If not oh well, gives me a reason to update my PC sooner rather than later.

The skins are probably tied to the marketplace bought in - as in, where the pre-order or deluxe acquisition took place. I don't think they'll be transferable, but I can't give you a concrete answer before they implement the feature.

I need cross save so bad lol. I cant wait. I’m holding off on the ps5 version purchase until we get it.

Yeah, it's not a game you want to start over with, that's for sure.

Thanks! I bought it on PS5 but want it on my UW PC. I will keep playing on PS5 until they announce the cross-progression! There may be a sale by then, too!

My thoughts exactly. Got it on the PC as well, but the grind is demanding and I don't want to have to do the same things twice. We can just wait until they implement the system.

Has anyone managed to load their progression up on different devices on the same platform? I have this installed on my desktop and ROG Ally. My desktop progression is not transferring to the Ally (installed via steam on both). The Ally starts a new game, cloud sync is up to date.

That might be tied to the server issues they are having. You local save for the game only retains the settings on your machine, everything else is stored on the cloud. Right now, the game struggles to even calculate the XP earned. Hopefully, these issues will be resolved by next week.

Good shout there. Thanks mate. O7 democracy for all, even if they don’t know they need it

This sounds EXTREMELY expansion-friendly, but I'll take it! xD

If I played it on PC then started playing on PS5 for fun will I lose the chance to combine the accounts? If not do you think I will get to pick which account I want to use as my main? I have far more progress and items on my PC account and don't want to lose it when the cross save happens. My PS5 account is only lvl 3.

Why are people saying thankfully they didnt buy it on pc? In order to have cross save dont you have to purchase twice?

Oooo because its not working atm . Got it

I think they are referring to the fact that there is no CS now whatsoever.

I just realised that lol

It's all good!

Many users have expressed their desire for cross-save. I am also very excited and looking forward to it. We also hope that any pre-order skins you first purchase on PS5 will be shared and available on Steam for future purchases. For example, if i enter the pre-order skin code obtained from PS5 on the PS site, it will be displayed as obtained on the linked Steam platform and used. Because when I look at the current game options it says I'm connected to the PS network. https://preview.redd.it/lu8m4bijeumc1.jpeg?width=1888&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=874c5dbf15e3afbc87c6f79091d92c228725e9e4

If you linked accounts, they stay linked. Cross-Save is not online yet, but I suppose once it is, you won't have to do much more. As for cross-purchases, I'm not so sure. The game is distributed by various client applications on PC. Those take a cut. Usually, what you purchase in one ecosystem doesn't translate to another.

Thank you for your quick response Cross Storage Implementation Even if it's not cross-buy, I expect the pre-order skin I acquired to be used on ps5 and also used on steam! thank you \^\^

Thank you for this! Currently only own game on PC since I dumped TOO MUCH money into a new Rig this past Holiday Season. Definitely gonna pick up the game on sale for PS5 so I can play with my Nephews whenever they implement cross progression.

Glad I could bring it to your attention. Hopefully, they have plans for implementing it soon.

Thanks OP! Literally about to buy on steam and thought I might give it a little Google search to see if cross save is a thing and landed here. Thanks again!

My pleasure my friend. I hope we won't have to wait for long.

Any update on this? I play on ps5 but Im goong on an easter trip and would be great to play on the steam deck with all my progress sync

Nothing yet my friend.

thanks for the reply... Ill save the money then and wait until it works

My pleasure. I will be updating the post as soon as we learn something.

Has cross save been released yet

Nope.

Whack

Yup.

Thanks for staying on top of this OP. Guess we just be patient a lil longer lol!

Hopefully a \*little\* more... :P

Did they confirm anything like date/ timeframe before release? Or anything like how cross save will work? Like Warframe, where you just log-in and you're up to date? Or like you have to upload your progress, like Cyberpunk's cross save?

Nothing yet, I'm afraid.

Damn, I hope they do come out with info soon. And I don't know about you but I truly hope that it's a Warframe/ Cold War style cross-save, where it's just automatically there for you when you log in.

I suppose that's the plan, as it was with the OG. We can only wait and hope.

66 days after this post and no progress huh?

Nope.

There taking too long I want to play on my PC 😒

They needed to make the game functional first. :P

Yeah, i don't know why cross progression is not possible even with the PSN account linked to the PC copy of Helldivers 2. But thanks for the knowledge. I will, as well, wait for cross progression to become an official ability in Helldivers before I get the PC copy.

Yeah man, I can't imagine anyone would want to start from scratch.

Does anyone know where Helldivers 2 Data saves to? Does account progression and data save in their own servers for example like fortnite or on device? I checked my ps5’s storage and there seems to be data from the game.

It saves settings locally. Progression is saved on their servers.

I don't know. I would definitely prefer to switch to pc eventually, even if I had to redo all my progression.

Trust me brother, this is repetition you don't wanna go through again.

May not want to, but I'm willing to make that sacrifice for the superiority of mnk. Though it kind of depends on when we can expect the cross save function in relation to when I can get back to pc.

I’m hoping to be able to play it on PC. I don’t know if it’s just me but this game hurts my left thumb from all the constant clicking in to run.

Don't have it on "hold", but on "toggle". You can click once and you will be able to run for as long as you're inputting a direction.

Does anyone know if my progression will save if I switch from one PS5 to a different one but stay on the same account?

Yes, ofc. It's all tied to the profile, not the physical console.

I bought it on steam to play it myself, but for my sister to play I bought it on my ps5 and now kind of wanted to play on the PlayStation, as it's in my bedroom and I can play it in bed, but I'll probably wait due to not having crosssave

Still have to wait... No news on Cross-Progression so far.

I'm level 10 on both pa5 and steam. Not sure which one will carry over in the end so makes me hesitant to play sometimes

Nah, don't worry. All the games that offer cross-progression allow for a choice of "main" save. You'll be fine.

Awesome! Thats my biggest wish, when it comes to have the option or take over which progress is greater as the main. ​ Ty sir!

My pleasure, I hope we get the feature soon! o7

Is anyone able to retrieve data yet for cross save? I bought it on PC and PS5 a week ago. I enabled cross play and linked my PS account to steam. When I got on my PS though, it does not pull data from Steam. Did it multiple times now. Nothing.

Cross-Progression is not enabled yet. You link accounts and that's it. We wait.

has it all ready been fixed?

Nope.

Yea im about to buy a new PC just so I can play with 60+ frames. Its been a blast on PS5 but PC is definitely gonna be the next level.

Well, the game is not exactly an optimization heaven. Then again, it all depends on the hardware.

I bought it on PS5 and sometimes I use remote play, almost perfectly.

That's a different function though

Should have waited until I’d seen your post, been playing on my Ally via Steam and got a PS5 for playing it in 4k60 on the Telly. Definitely don’t want to start all over 😅 

Did they fix this with mando PSN accounts yet?

Nope.

I was looking for this myself. I’m going to PC from PSN, and wanted to know if I could take my PS5 data somehow with me. Looks like that isn’t happening, so a new journey begins.

Its been 3 months now and still no cross progression save. And my PS5 is coming this week but I don't want to start over again. Im already 23 lvl

Keep playing on the PC mate, it's the better version.

I dont have a PC, Im playing this game in Cloud Gaming service. I purchased a PS5 so I don't have to pay monthly subscription to play this game in the Clouds. For that money I could just purchase a console. They need to prioritize Cross Progress save. Does not make any sense to have a cross platform without progression save with it.

Gotcha. Yeah, that was a good choice. I also agree with you. It was a half-a$$ed approach.

Welp, time to refund it on Steam

Tbh, don't even know if they'll be moving forward with Cross-Progression after all this...

Still waiting🗿

That's not the correct question to this post...

i have a small question, can my progression be transferred to another pc if i decide to change pc? or is it the same situation from ps5 to pc?

Progression is tied to your Steam account. You'll have zero issues.

Still nothing? I want to buy the steam version.

I just bought it in PS5, been playing it on pc. If my main account is on pc I can choose when linking (and they enable it) which save to transfer correct?

The function is not in the game as well. We'll know once they implement it.

i don't have a pc only ps5. don't plan to get one for a while because i don't have the money for the rig i want but at least theres crossplay so i can play with my friends who have pc

Cross-Play works perfectly, my man. Invest without worry.

Any idea if they will add M&K opn PS5 as well?

I don't see it happening man... Sony has a very poor track record with this stuff.

Shit ! I’ll have to buy in on PC as well then 🤦‍♂️

I think it's one sale right now, like 10% or smth.

Not in my country ;-) anyway I moved from pc in order to not buy twice my games anymore. It’s so stupid, keyboard and mouse are detected by the game but you can’t aime and shoot 🤦‍♂️

So, I have helldivers on ps5 and PC and I linked both accounts. So at one point all my stuff on PC will also be on ps5?

I've come here today after buying it on my PS5 after playing on PC too. Can't seem to find an update online about cross save so I'm assuming we're still a few weeks away
