Hades 2 Arrives on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on April 14 — Day One on Game Pass
Hades 2 makes its PlayStation and Xbox debut on April 14 with the complete patched PC experience included — and it's day-one on Xbox Game Pass at no extra cost.
The Underworld Finally Comes to Your PlayStation
If you have been waiting to experience Hades 2 on a PlayStation or Xbox, the wait is almost over. April 14 is the date. Supergiant Games confirmed the console release in early April, making it one of the most anticipated launches of the spring gaming season.
Hades 2 drops simultaneously on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S — both platforms, same day, no staggered exclusivity window. After years of games launching on PC first and leaving console players waiting months, this simultaneous multiplatform debut is exactly the kind of treatment a game this good deserves.
What Console Players Are Getting
This is not a bare-bones port. The Hades 2 launching on PS5 and Xbox will include all the post-launch patches shipped on PC since the game's early access period. The latest balance updates, quality-of-life improvements, and community-driven refinements are all included from day one — console players are not starting from an older build.
The PlayStation 5 version will leverage the DualSense controller's haptic feedback, a feature that feels tailor-made for a game this tactile and kinetic. When Melinoe's weapons connect, when a death-defying dash clips through a projectile, when a Boon activates with that satisfying snap — the DualSense adds a physical dimension that deepens the combat experience.
Xbox Game Pass: Play Day One at No Extra Cost
Hades 2 will be available on Xbox Game Pass on April 14. Day one. No additional charge if you are already subscribed. On a game that reviews somewhere between extraordinary and landmark achievement of the roguelite genre, that is one of the best value propositions in gaming right now.
Supergiant has always made games designed to be discovered. Hades 2's Game Pass availability will introduce the Underworld to hundreds of thousands of new players — and if the original Hades on Game Pass is any precedent, the conversion rate from casual curiosity to full obsession runs high.
Ready to Meet Melinoe?
Protagonist Melinoe, sister to Zagreus and Witch of the Moon, brings an entirely different combat vocabulary than Hades' slash-and-dodge playstyle. Her hex-based magic system layers beautifully with the Boon combination space, creating a build depth that the PC community spent months fully mapping. Console players get to dive straight into that deep end — fully patched, fully featured, day one.
