Hades 2 Exclusive to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 Temporarily

Hades 2 is set to launch on both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 as a timed console exclusive. While a specific release date hasn't been announced, developer Supergiant has confirmed that the much-awaited sequel will be available on PC, as well as both versions of the Nintendo Switch, simultaneously later this year.

The news of Hades 2 coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 was initially shared during last week's Nintendo Direct. Supergiant Games has since clarified on X/Twitter that the game will not only be available on both the original and the new Switch but will also be a timed exclusive on Nintendo's consoles.

"Hades II v1.0 will launch simultaneously on our Early Access platforms (Steam and Epic Games Store), Nintendo Switch 2, and the original Nintendo Switch," the team stated on their social media.

It's currently unclear when Hades 2 will expand to other consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.

In IGN's Hades 2 early-access review, we awarded it a 9/10, stating, "Hades 2 feels impossibly huge and unbelievably polished by any standard, much less an early access game. Mel is awesome, the new tweaks to the combat and progression are excellent, and it's just unbelievably feature packed with twice the content of the first. What’s here right out of the gate is astounding, and the thought of more coming on the way is a tantalizing treat."
