During its March 2026 Partner Showcase, Xbox revealed that the hit indie sequel, Hades 2, is launching on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox Game Pass. The Best Action Game winner launched as a Switch console exclusive in September 2025. It earned quite a few awards at the 2025 Game Awards, and for good reason. It is every bit a worthy sequel to the wildly popular Hades. And now, it’s headed to Xbox Game Pass on April 14th, with a simultaneous launch on PS5 that same day.
Hades 2 Sets Xbox Series X|S, PS5 Release Date for April
Gamers with an Xbox or PS5 at home have been waiting for this news ever since Hades 2 hit Switch (and Switch 2) last year. At long last, the timed console exclusive period is up, and gamers on all platforms will be able to experience Supergiant’s God-like Rogue-like for themselves.
Hades 2 is the follow-up to the hit Hades, bringing players a new main character, fresh storyline, and new challenges to tackle. It also happens to be one of the best games I’ve played in recent memory. And I’m not alone, as Hades 2 earned a 95 Metascore and received multiple Game Awards nominations, including a win for Best Action Game. And now, its period of timed Switch/Switch 2 console exclusivity is coming to an end.
The Xbox Partner Showcase is, of course, focused on games headed to Xbox, so that was the primary takeaway for those tuning in to the showcase today. But the release date screen confirming that Hades 2 will launch for Xbox on April 14th also boasts a PS5 logo. And indeed, a news post from Supergiant confirms that April 14th is the release date for both Xbox and PS5 versions of Hades 2. That means the game will be available on all major consoles, as well as PC, come next month. And that’s great news for gamers everywhere.
