Hades 2, one of 2025’s best games, is finally available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox
Hades 2, the critically acclaimed sequel from Supergiant Games, is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Game Pass following its April 14 release. The game, which Polygon ranked as the second-best of 2025, expands beyond its initial PC launch to reach console audiences who had been waiting for a PlayStation and Xbox version.
Like the original, Hades 2 maintains a roguelike structure where players navigate procedurally-generated runs to progress the story. However, the sequel is fully accessible to newcomers—experience with the first game is not required. The game builds on the foundation of its predecessor with meaningful additions, including new weapons that offer varied combat strategies, fresh enemy types that pose distinct challenges, an expanded roster of characters, and new narrative storylines to explore.
These enhancements ensure Hades 2 feels like a genuine sequel rather than a simple port or remake. The game preserves the roguelike mechanics that made the original successful while offering enough new content to distinguish itself. The expansion to PlayStation and Xbox platforms represents a significant milestone for the title’s reach, bringing the acclaimed game to a broader console audience and concluding the platform exclusivity period that followed its initial early access and 1.0 launch on PC.
