Hades 2 Lands on PS5 and Xbox With Free Patch and Secret ‘Dream Dives’ Mode

A surprise mode underscores active post‑launch support from Supergiant.

Overview

  • Hades 2 launched on PS5 and Xbox Series with day-one Xbox Game Pass access on Tuesday, expanding the sequel beyond its original PC and Switch release.
  • Supergiant rolled out a free Patch 2 alongside the ports, adding narrated prophecy epilogues, fresh voice lines, a new camera zoom option, and notable buffs to Ares’ boons.
  • A hidden Dream Dives mode shuffles four regions per run, uses your Training Grounds loadout, removes most pre-fight dialogue, and pays a new currency called Shiny Stars.
  • Relationship updates let most Crossroads characters receive Bath Salts, Twin Lures, or Ambrosia indefinitely after bonding, make Icarus easier to romance, and add follow-up cues from romantic partners.
  • The PlayStation and Xbox versions do not support cross‑save, so players moving from PC or Switch must start fresh on those consoles.
