Supergiant Games has delivered a massive post-launch gift to Hades II players with the arrival of Post-Launch Patch 2 on April 14, 2026. This update coincides perfectly with the roguelike sensation finally breaking free from its Nintendo exclusivity and landing on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, complete with day-one Game Pass access for subscribers looking to dive into the Underworld.
The patch brings sweeping changes to Boons, Aspects of Nocturnal Arms, Hexes, the Fated List of Minor Prophecies, enemy stats, and visual and audio presentation, with key highlights including substantial Fated Prophecy updates that bring new conclusion scenes to characters like Odysseus and Arachne. Players can now indefinitely gift most Crossroads characters, resulting in new scenes, adding fresh life to the already beloved hub area.
Hades II currently sits at a Top Critic Average of 95 on OpenCritic, with a critic recommendation score of 98%. Over on Steam, Hades II has an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating after 116,842 user reviews. The game currently has an estimated 7,537 active players online, with the player count reaching a peak of 8,030 concurrent players in the last 24 hours and an all-time high of 112,947 concurrent players on Steam.
Xbox Game Pass members get instant access to the complete experience at launch, while console versions benefit from months of polish and community-driven improvements baked in from day one. For roguelike fans who have been waiting on the sidelines, this is the definitive moment to experience Melinoe’s journey through an expanded mythological underworld.
