The Hades 2 release time for PC and Switch 2 isn't far off, letting you finally check out the full game after over a year in early access. The game was already massive after several major updates during early access, but the 1.0 launch will see the complete story implemented so that you can you play through Melinoe's entire campaign against Chronos through the Chthonic depths (and elsewhere).
Conveniently, Hades 2 will also be coming out at the same time around the world. That means all you need is a little time zone conversion to find out when you can hop in on PC or Nintendo Switch, so I've laid out the exact Hades 2 release time for several regions below.
Hades 2 release times for PC, Ninentdo Switch, and Switch 2
Hades 2 releases globally at 4PM UTC on September 25 on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
Here's when you can expect to start playing in your region:
- USA Pacific: September 25 at 9AM PDT
- USA Eastern: September 25 at 12PM EDT
- UK: September 25 at 5PM BST
- Central Europe: September 25 at 6PM CEST
- Australia: September 26 at 2AM AEST
- New Zealand: September 26 at 3AM NZST
A global simultaneous release time also means any sort of time-zone trickery, such as the old New Zealand clock trick, won't let you get into the Crossroads early, so you'll just have to be patient.
It's also worth reiterating that Hades 2 is not launching on PS5 or Xbox Series X, with no announcements about whether it will be in the future either. However, based on the success of the first game and it's eventual launch on those consoles 11 months after its initial 1.0 release, a console release for Hades 2 in the next year seems highly likely.
Take a look at the Hades 2 weapons that you'll be able to equip Melinoe with and see if you've got an early favorite.
