Hades II lands on Game Pass and PS5

Hades II arrived on PlayStation 5 and on Xbox Series X|S through Xbox Game Pass on April 14, widening the sequel’s console audience. (supergiantgames.com) Supergiant Games said the new console versions include 120-frames-per-second support on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, plus bonus content and quality-of-life changes added for the release window. Xbox Wire said the Xbox edition is also available on Xbox on PC and Xbox Cloud through Game Pass. (supergiantgames.com) (news.xbox.com) The studio announced the console date on March 26 and said Hades II had already reached version 1.0 on personal computer, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch on September 25, 2025. That made the April 14 launch an expansion to platforms that missed last year’s full release. (supergiantgames.com) Hades II is Supergiant’s first sequel, and it keeps the series’ run-based structure, where each failed escape attempt sends players back to a hub before the next run. The new lead is Melinoë, whom Supergiant describes as the immortal Princess of the Underworld fighting the Titan of Time with dark sorcery. (supergiantgames.com) The console rollout also puts the game in front of subscription players at launch on Microsoft’s service. Xbox said Hades II is a day-one Xbox Game Pass title and supports Xbox Play Anywhere, which lets one purchase work across Xbox and Windows devices. (news.xbox.com) Sony’s store page listed the PlayStation 5 version at $29.99, with a PlayStation Plus launch offer dropping the price to $23.99 through April 28, 2026. A separate report from RPG Site said both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox versions launched with a 20% discount. (playstation.com) (rpgsite.net) Supergiant tied the console push to the game’s review record from last year. In its March 26 post, the studio said Hades II was the best-reviewed game of 2025 according to Metacritic and OpenCritic after the version 1.0 launch. (supergiantgames.com) Metacritic’s current pages show strong critic scores across platforms, including a 95 on PlayStation 5 and a broad set of positive reviews on other editions. That gives the April console launch a familiar sales pitch: a game that already cleared the review cycle is now landing on two more living-room platforms. (metacritic.com 1) (metacritic.com 2) For Supergiant, the release closes a long platform rollout that started with early access on personal computer before moving to version 1.0 and then to more consoles. For players on PlayStation 5 or in Xbox Game Pass, the wait ended on April 14. (supergiantgames.com 1) (supergiantgames.com 2)
