Last week’s Nintendo Switch 2 reveal continues to make waves — and now, Supergiant Games has confirmed Hades 2 will be a console exclusive at launch.
The Nintendo Switch 2 remains gaming’s hottest topic following last week’s Nintendo Direct, which revealed key details about the once-enigmatic console. Supergiant Games made a surprise announcement today in a post from Nintendo of America on X (formerly Twitter), confirming that its next big title, Hades 2, will be a timed Nintendo Switch 2 console exclusive at launch. The Creator’s Voice video post can be viewed below:
The first instalment in the Creator’s Voice series featured FromSoftware’s game director Hidetaka Miyazaki, who revealed that The Duskbloods — also announced during the Nintendo Direct — would be a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive as well. In the post above, a message appears near the end of the video stating: “Hades 2 launching first for consoles on Nintendo Switch 2. More information coming later this year.”

It’s worth noting that Hades 2 has been in early access on Steam since 2024. The message specifically refers to a “console exclusive,” suggesting the game will likely exit early access on PC at the same time it launches on the Switch 2. As for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 versions, players on those platforms will have to wait an undisclosed amount of time after the Switch 2 launch.
CGMagazine’s Hades 2 preview reads: “Hades 2 is not only a blast to play, but easily justified as a follow-up to arguably the best game in their repertoire,” so fans of the original Supergiant Games release will want to keep an eye out for the sequel’s full launch. For those who want to dive into early access now, Hades 2 is available via its Steam page.
