Hades II Finally Arrives on PS5 and Xbox with 120fps and Day-One Game Pass

Supergiant Games' critically acclaimed roguelike Hades II officially launched on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on April 14, 2026, after months of availability on PC and Nintendo Switch. The console versions debut alongside Patch 2 — a sweeping update that introduces quality-of-life improvements, balance changes, and new content across all platforms simultaneously. Most notably for Xbox players, the game is included in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass at no extra cost on day one, making it one of the biggest day-one additions to the service in 2026.

The PS5 and Xbox versions run at a locked 120 frames per second and include all post-early-access patches rolled out since the game's 2025 PC launch — meaning console players receive the most feature-complete and polished version of the title to date. A 20% launch discount is available across both platforms for a limited time. Pure Xbox praised the port's performance consistency, noting that Supergiant maintained visual fidelity at the high frame rate without compromise on either console.

Hades II builds on the original's formula with a new protagonist, Melinoë, daughter of Hades, traversing an expanded mythological underworld with new biomes, gods, and the arcana upgrade system. The game surpassed 1 million players within days of its 2025 PC early access launch, and the console release is expected to significantly expand the player base. RPG Site called Patch 2 "arguably the most content-rich update Supergiant has delivered to any of its games" — a strong entry point for players who waited for the definitive console version.
