Hades II
Which edition can you play, and where can your save go?
The short version.

What’s confirmed.
Release history
Version 1.0 launched on PC and Nintendo systems on 25 September 2025. PS5 and Xbox Series editions followed on 14 April 2026; this is no longer just an Early Access release.
Check original source ↗How play develops
Melinoë uses weapons and witchcraft in a Greek-myth setting. Progress and narrative unfold over repeated attempts. It is designed for one player, with no multiplayer plans stated in the FAQ.
Check original source ↗Save compatibility
The FAQ supports cross-saves between Steam and the two Nintendo versions. Epic cross-save support has ended; cross-saves with the other versions are not available. Do not confuse this with general cloud storage.
Check original source ↗Questions before you play.
Answers below reflect the linked official material, not independent testing.
Do I need to finish the first Hades?
Supergiant says prior knowledge is not required, although returning players will recognise connections.
What should I check before switching platform?
Confirm your exact source and destination editions against the FAQ. A save stored in one storefront’s cloud is not automatically a cross-platform save.
