Hades 2 is a timed console exclusive on Switch 1 and 2, Nintendo has announced, with a release date set for September 25, 2025.
As revealed during Nintendo Direct September 2025, Hades 2 runs at 120 frames per second in TV mode on Switch 2.
Supergiant's action game is already available in early access form on PC. The developer said Hades 2 v1.0 launches September 25, which means it leaves early access on PC then, too. There's no word on a PlayStation or Xbox release date.
"Play in blazing-fast 120fps in TV Mode on Nintendo Switch 2, or 60fps on Nintendo Switch (w/ free upgrade to Switch 2)," the developer said. You can transfer PC progress from Steam or Epic with Cross Saves.
Here's the official blurb, from Nintendo:
Battle beyond the Underworld in Hades II – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, an action-packed roguelike dungeon crawler that reacts to your every setback and accomplishment. As the Princess of the Underworld, you’ll explore a bigger, deeper mythic world and vanquish the forces of the Titan of Time with the full might of Olympus behind you. Experience the game at 120 fps in TV mode on Nintendo Switch 2, and enjoy cross-save compatibility between Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch and the PC version. Hades II – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition launches first for consoles digitally on Nintendo Switch 2 and Hades II comes to Nintendo Switch on Sept. 25, with digital pre-orders available later today on the My Nintendo Store website and on Nintendo eShop.
