In all likelihood, Helldivers 2 will have crossplay enabled on Xbox Series X|S.

As such it is plausible to believe that the same features will extend to the Xbox launch.
Moreover, a recent post by Xbox on the social media platform X had an infographic where PlayStation players join hands with Xbox players, in spreading democracy. Although this is meant in good jest to create hype, it also indicates that players across both platforms can work together.
