Supergiant Games recently made a notable appearance during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, bringing exciting updates for fans eagerly awaiting the release of Hades 2. Currently available in early access on Steam, the developers have announced that the complete version will make its debut on both the Nintendo Switch 1 and the newly unveiled Nintendo Switch 2.
Hades 2 Set to Launch on Nintendo Switch
The original Hades first arrived on consoles via the Nintendo Switch, and the trend continues with its sequel. Before Hades 2 expands to platforms like PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X, it will exclusively launch on Nintendo’s handheld devices, reinforcing the franchise’s strong connection to the Switch ecosystem.

Gamers will need to be patient, as Hades 2 remains in early access on Steam without a confirmed release date. Supergiant Games has indicated that an additional significant content update for Hades 2 is on the horizon, and players can expect version 1.0 to launch after this update is released.
Performance Insights for Players
From a technical perspective, Hades 2 is designed to run smoothly at 60 frames per second (FPS) on both Nintendo Switch models. The upcoming Switch 2 will fully leverage its 1080p display, with potential support for 120 FPS; however, details about a dedicated 120 FPS mode are still under wraps.
While it’s unclear if the game will reach 4K resolution in docked mode, preliminary indications suggest this might be a possibility. The official trailer for the Nintendo Switch 2 version showcases 4K visuals, providing optimism that the final release may indeed feature a 4K 60 FPS mode.
Details regarding the precise release date are expected in the upcoming months, and it’s encouraging to see many developers continuing to support the original Switch. While gameplay may not have the same visual fidelity as on the Switch 2, Supergiant Games is committed to maintaining a 60 FPS performance on the original device, a crucial standard for action-packed games like Hades 2.
The initial entry of the Hades series proved to be an exhilarating experience on the Nintendo Switch, and players can anticipate Hades 2 to utilize the advanced capabilities of the Switch 2 to deliver an impressive and action-driven gaming experience.
