Supergiant has not confirmed Xbox launch for the Hades 2 yet, but the game is likely to follow the footsteps of its predecessor. Hades launched on PC and Nintendo Switch in 2020, before releasing on PlayStation and Xbox consoles a year later.

Hades 2 was shown at the Switch 2 focussed Nintendo Direct livestream on April 2, ing a long list of third-party games confirmed to launch on Nintendo's new console. The game follows Princess of the Underworld Melinoe, sister to Zagreus, the protagonist of the first game, as she takes on Chronos, the Titan of Time. Nintendo Switch 2, which was finally fully unveiled at the Direct presentation, is set to be released on June 5.
