Hades 2 lands on consoles
Hades 2 is now confirmed for console release on PS5 and Xbox Series, moving Supergiant’s roguelike sequel onto current‑gen platforms (x.com). Console versions are part of a broader push by publishers to bring PC‑first indies into living rooms as platform audiences overlap more (x.com).
Hades II is now on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, ending a console gap that lasted nearly seven months after its full launch. (supergiantgames.com) Supergiant Games released the new versions on April 14, 2026, after announcing them on March 26. The studio said Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 versions support up to 120 frames per second and add bonus content and quality-of-life updates. (supergiantgames.com) Xbox players also got the game through Game Pass on day one of the console launch, while PlayStation 5 players could buy it directly from the PlayStation Store. Supergiant said Hades II had already launched in version 1.0 on personal computers, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch on September 25, 2025. (supergiantgames.com) Hades II started as a personal computer-first release, entering Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store on May 6, 2024. Supergiant used that period to finish the sequel before bringing version 1.0 to consoles in stages. (supergiantgames.com) That rollout was staggered from the start. Nintendo announced on April 2, 2025 that Hades II would come first to Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch, with Supergiant saying both versions targeted 60 frames per second and the newer system would use a 1080p display. (supergiantgames.com) By the time Xbox and PlayStation versions arrived, Supergiant was selling Hades II as its finished fifth game and first sequel. The studio’s official frequently asked questions page says version 1.0 launched on September 25, 2025, after more than a year of Early Access development. (supergiantgames.com) The game itself keeps the series’ structure: repeated runs through combat rooms, permanent upgrades between attempts, and a story that advances after failure as well as success. Supergiant’s store pages describe Melinoë, the immortal Princess of the Underworld, fighting the Titan of Time with dark sorcery in a larger mythic world than the first game. (supergiantgames.com) For players who waited to play from a couch instead of a desk, that wait is over. As of April 14, Hades II is available across personal computer, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. (supergiantgames.com)
