Following its impressive debut in 2025 and its rapid rise to become one of the best games of the year, Hades 2 has consistently delivered quality updates. Since its initial release, the development team has added a wealth of new story content to complete the true ending, along with a host of other valuable improvements.

Now, the game's appeal promises to spread even further. Starting in mid-next month, Game Pass subscribers and console players will have the opportunity to enjoy this critically acclaimed title. Specifically, the game will simultaneously launch on platforms including Xbox Series X/S, Xbox PC, Xbox Cloud Gaming, PS5, supporting Xbox Play Anywhere, and will be available from day one on the Xbox Game Pass ecosystem.

As the first sequel in the history of the renowned studio Supergiant Games, Hades 2 puts players in the role of the immortal Princess of the Underworld, venturing into a vast, deep, and darker mythological world than ever before. Gamers will have the power to wield legendary weapons from Greek mythology, and receive blessings from dozens of powerful gods on Mount Olympus, such as Apollo and Zeus.

Besides featuring a diverse cast of characters, including familiar faces from the first game as well as entirely new gods, the game also introduces a host of previously unexplored environments, grueling challenges, and an in-depth upgrade system.
