After making console players for far too long, Hades 2 is finally making its way to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Supergiant Games has just confirmed that the acclaimed roguelike sequel will launch on April 14, with the Xbox version also arriving on Game Pass the same day.

This is a pretty big moment for fans of the franchise with consoles as their main gaming platform. Supergiant’s first-ever sequel debuted back in September 2025, going on to become the best-reviewed game of 2025 on both Metacritic and OpenCritic.

What to expect from this hyped launch

The studio isn’t just porting the game to consoles, it is even adding a few extra touches. Supergiant says that Hades 2 on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 will run at 120fps, which should make the game’s already fast and fluid combat feel snappier. The PS5 and Xbox editions of the game will also include bonus content and quality-of-life improvements that the team has been working on for a while now.

So existing players will also get those additions along with a patch landing on the same day.

Why this is a big win for console players

Supergiant also took the chance to flex the various accolades awarded to the game during this announcement. The game has picked up a long list, including Best Action Game at The Game Awards and the D.I.C.E. Awards, along with Best Game on Steam Deck at the Steam Awards and Best Foreign Game at the Pégases Awards.

All of this just made the wait harder for players who weren’t on PC or Nintendo platforms. So while PlayStation is becoming a more closed platform, these developers are sharing the joy.

If you've been curious about Xbox Cloud Gaming but didn't want another monthly subscription, Microsoft may have a new option for you. The company is testing a free, ad-supported version of Xbox Cloud Gaming for Xbox Insiders, allowing eligible players to stream select games they already own without a Game Pass membership.

However, you'll have to watch a short advertisement before your session begins. Microsoft says the ads will never interrupt gameplay, making this an early test of whether a simple tradeoff can bring cloud gaming to more players.

Lenovo has expanded its LOQ gaming laptop lineup with a new graphics option. The company has introduced a refreshed version of the LOQ 17IRX10, pairing Intel's Core i7-14700HX processor with Nvidia's newly announced GeForce RTX 5070 12GB laptop GPU. The update gives buyers another configuration to choose from without changing the overall design or feature set of the laptop.

The new variant joins Lenovo's existing LOQ 17IRX10 lineup, which was previously available with GeForce RTX 5050, RTX 5060, and RTX 5070 8GB graphics options. While the chassis remains unchanged, the addition of a 12GB RTX 5070 brings more VRAM to the series, a specification that has become increasingly important as modern AAA games demand larger texture caches and higher memory capacity.
