Supergiant Games’ super popular title, Hades, is finally heading to the Xbox (and PlayStation). Announced during the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase, Hades will be available via Xbox Game Pass when it launches, this August 13th, 2021.
There were rumors that Hades would make its way to the Xbox and PlayStation platforms, so I’m happy to see that it’s actually happening. Playing Hades on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S results in a technical boost, with the action running at 4K at a target 60fps. Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of the game perform at 1080p at a target 60fps. In addition, Hades features enhanced controller vibration and lighting on the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller.
The PlayStation 4 version of Hades, both physical and digital, include a free upgrade to the digital PlayStation 5 version. The Xbox versions of Hades use Smart Delivery, allowing access to both the Xbox One title and the Xbox Series X|S title.
Having played my fair share of Hades, his is huge news for Xbox and PlayStation gamers, as the game was originally only available on PC and the Nintendo Switch.
