When does Hades 2 release on PS5 and Xbox?

Hades 2 sets April 14 release for PS5 and Xbox

Supergiant Games has confirmed that Hades 2 will release on PS5 and Xbox on April 14. The announcement positions the game as arriving “in a matter of weeks,” following the period of anticipation since the sequel’s earlier reveals.

The release is also paired with a broader distribution plan: multiple stories note that the game will be available via Xbox Game Pass at launch, reinforcing that the PS5 and Xbox rollout isn’t just a platform expansion but also a distribution/visibility move.

The practical takeaway for players is timing. If you’re planning to play on consoles, you don’t need to wait for separate platform calendars—Hades 2’s console launch is anchored to the same day across PS5 and Xbox.

The coverage doesn’t list exact edition differences between platforms (such as whether any bonuses are included), and it doesn’t describe additional launch-day feature changes in the same snippet.

But in terms of market impact, the simultaneous console release plus Game Pass availability is significant because it can materially change the game’s day-one player counts and streamer visibility. It also signals that Supergiant is using a “big tent” approach for a sequel that’s already known for strong audience retention.

In short: April 14 is the confirmed console launch day, with Xbox Game Pass support at the same time.
