AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Supergiant's critically acclaimed Hades 2 is coming to Xbox and PlayStation on April 14, featuring a day-one launch on Xbox Game Pass.
Supergiant Games is bringing its critically acclaimed rogue-lite masterpiece to a much wider audience next month. According to a recent report by Eurogamer, Hades 2 will land on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 on April 14, officially ending its initial period of PC and Switch exclusivity. Even better for console players, the release will be accompanied by a day-one launch on Xbox Game Pass, making it effortless to jump straight into the Underworld with your regular squad.
For those who spent hundreds of hours mastering the original game, this sequel shifts the focus to Melino, the sister of Zagreus, as she takes on the titan timelord Chronos. Supergiant has managed to keep the razor-sharp combat and stunning art direction that defined the first title while expanding the tactical depth with clever new systems and mechanics. It is the kind of tight, endlessly replayable experience that thrives on modern subscription services, giving both returning fans and curious newcomers a massive new playground.
The timing also lines up with a stacked April lineup for Game Pass, cementing subscription models as the primary way many players sample major releases without committing to full retail prices upfront. Whether you plan to stream it via cloud gaming on your phone or fire it up natively on your console, this drop is easily one of the biggest platform expansions of the year so far. You can check out the original announcement and full details over at Eurogamer.
