Will Hades 2 be on Xbox? The sequel to the critically acclaimed original has been generating a lot of hype over the past few years, and now that it's available on PC, we're naturally wondering when we'll get our hands on the Xbox version.

The good news is that Hades 2's potential Xbox release has been talked about by the developer, so we're using this guide to break down everything you need to know about Hades 2 coming to Xbox in the (hopefully) near future.

Is Hades 2 Coming To Xbox?

It seems very likely that Hades 2 is getting an Xbox release.

The official word right now is that the game is "expected" to be released on consoles at some point, but the specifics about whether Xbox will be included in the list can't be confirmed just yet. Here's an excerpt from the game's FAQ:

"We expect for Hades II to eventually be available for PC, Mac, and console platforms (though cannot confirm which platforms yet)."

Obviously the original Hades is already on Xbox, so we're assuming Hades 2 will make its way across as well, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see some kind of console exclusivity deal with Xbox, PlayStation or Nintendo at launch.

Will Hades 2 Early Access Be On Xbox?

Based on the official wording, it sounds like Hades 2's early access period will be exclusive to PC.

It's been confirmed that Hades 2 early access is expected to last until at least the end of 2024.

What Is The Hades 2 Xbox Release Date?

There isn't a release date for Hades 2 on Xbox yet, and we probably won't get one for a while.

This is because of what's mentioned above - the game is expected to remain in early access until the end of 2024 - and so realistically it sounds like an Xbox version won't be launching until after that period is over.

"We do not have a release date set for the completed Hades II v1.0, and expect to be in Early Access at least through the end of 2024."

An educated guess would suggest that Hades 2's Xbox release date will be sometime in 2025.

I Haven't Heard Of Hades 2 Before. What Type Of Game Is It?

Where have you been?! The original Hades is one of the best Xbox games we've played in the Xbox Series X and Series S generation, serving as a roguelike dungeon crawler in which it's your goal to break out of the Underworld.

Hades 2 is very much more of the same, and the reviews have been equally as impressive so far.

Here's a bit more information about what you can expect, along with a few screenshots:

"The first-ever sequel from Supergiant Games builds on the best aspects of the original god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler in an all-new, action-packed, endlessly replayable experience rooted in the Underworld of Greek myth and its deep connections to the dawn of witchcraft."


So, those are all the key details you need to know about Hades 2 on Xbox so far. Give it some time, and we should hopefully be playing this fantastic dungeon crawler on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S in the future!
