Hades II digital release set

Hades II reaches Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on April 14, giving Supergiant Games its last major console launch for the sequel’s digital rollout. (supergiantgames.com) Supergiant Games said the new versions go live worldwide on April 14, and the PlayStation Store lists a release time of 10:00 a.m. Pacific on that date for the United States. Xbox players also get the game through Game Pass at launch. (supergiantgames.com) (store.playstation.com) (news.xbox.com) The April 14 release is not the game’s debut. Hades II first entered Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store on May 6, 2024, then reached version 1.0 on September 25, 2025 for Steam, Epic Games Store, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch. (supergiantgames.com 1) (supergiantgames.com 2) That timeline matters because Supergiant used Early Access to build the sequel in public before expanding to more platforms. The studio said in 2024 that Early Access would be limited to Steam and Epic Games Store, with console plans to come later. (supergiantgames.com 1) (supergiantgames.com 2) The April 14 console launch also arrives with a same-day patch for existing owners. Supergiant said the Xbox and PlayStation versions include “bonus content and quality-of-life improvements,” and that full patch notes will be published on release day. (supergiantgames.com) On the technical side, Supergiant said Hades II runs at 120 frames per second on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The studio made a similar performance push on Nintendo Switch 2, where it said the 2025 launch version supported 120 frames per second at 1080p in television mode. (supergiantgames.com 1) (supergiantgames.com 2) Hades II is Supergiant’s first sequel, built around Melinoë instead of Zagreus from the original Hades. The studio describes it as a rogue-like dungeon crawler set in Greek myth, with Melinoë using dark sorcery against Chronos, the Titan of Time. (supergiantgames.com) (store.playstation.com) The first Hades followed a slower console path. Supergiant’s FAQ says version 1.0 launched on personal computer and Nintendo Switch on September 17, 2020, while Xbox and PlayStation versions arrived nearly 11 months later on August 13, 2021. (supergiantgames.com) By April 14, Hades II will be available across personal computer, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation storefronts, with Supergiant using the same date to ship its next round of fixes and extras.
