Supergiant Games’ Hades is one of those hidden gems that you may not have played, but almost definitely should play. It’s incredible and it’s coming to Xbox and PlayStation consoles at long last. The question we’re asking, though, is… When does Hades come out on Xbox Game Pass?

Is Hades out on Xbox Game Pass yet?

Hades is finally available on the Xbox Game Pass and the other promised consoles. The acclaimed roguelite indie game developed by the indie company Supergiant Games was praised for its uniqueness in music, art style and gameplay, making the quest of escaping the Underworld an amazing experience.

The official game’s description is the following:

Hades is a rogue-like dungeon crawler in which you defy the god of the dead as you hack and slash your way out of the Underworld of Greek myth. We think it combines the best aspects of our previous games, including the fast-paced action of Bastion, the rich atmosphere and depth of Transistor, and the character-driven storytelling of Pyre.

It’s never the same experience twice: Each time you play, you’ll combine the divine might of various Olympian gods with your own in new ways, brave a wide variety of different challenges, and unravel more of the story featuring our award-winning art, audio, and narrative. You may play for not just dozens of hours, but hundreds of hours, while still discovering new character builds and story events.

By taking the role of Zagreus, the son of Hades who happens to be immortal, you must crawl your way out of your father’s house, and for that, you’ll have the aid of the gods of Olympus, such as Athena, Poseidon and Artemis. You’ll also find many characters from Greek mythology during your journey, both as enemies and allies.

Depending on the weapons and powers you choose, your moveset will differ greatly, so you have many options on how you want to play the game. Since you’ll be doing multiple runs in order to beat the game, it’s encouraged that you try all the available styles to find your favourite.

Initially released only on Epic Games and Steam, the game was fully released for Nintendo Switch last year, and now you can also defy the God of the Underworld in the Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One and Series X/S. You can also enjoy Hades by having an Xbox Game Pass membership.
