Hades 2 will be a timed console exclusive on Switch, Switch 2

Sorry, players on Xbox and PlayStation...

Hades 2 will be a timed console exclusive on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, developer Supergiant has recently confirmed.

“While we haven’t ruled out bringing Hades II to any other platforms, our current focus is only on [PC and Mac via Steam and the Epic Games Store, Switch 2, and Switch],” reads an FAQ posted by Supergiant.

As the developer points out, the move mirrors the release of the original Hades, which eventually ended up making its way to Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4, and PS5.

“The original Hades v1.0 likewise initially launched only on PC, Mac, and Nintendo Switch, and we’re taking a similar path with the sequel,” Supergiant wrote.

At present, Hades 2 is currently in early access on Steam and Epic Games Store on both Mac and PC. It will launch on PC, Mac, Switch, and Switch 2 when ready as a finished version 1.0.
