Supergiant Confirms Hades 2 Will Be a Nintendo Switch 2 Console Exclusive at Launch
Last week's Nintendo Switch 2 reveal continues to make waves — and now, Supergiant Games has confirmed Hades 2 will be a console exclusive at launch.
The Nintendo Switch 2 remains gaming's hottest topic following last week's Nintendo Direct, which revealed key details about the once-enigmatic console. Supergiant Games made a surprise announcement today in a post from Nintendo of America on X (formerly Twitter), confirming that its next big title, Hades 2, will be a timed Nintendo Switch 2 console exclusive at launch. The Creator's Voice video post can be viewed below:
The first instalment in the Creator's Voice series featured FromSoftware's game director Hidetaka Miyazaki, who revealed that The Duskbloods — also announced during the Nintendo Direct — would be a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive as well. In the post above, a message appears near the end of the video stating: 'Hades 2 launching first for consoles on Nintendo Switch 2. More information coming later this year.'
It's worth noting that Hades 2 has been in early access on Steam since 2024. The message specifically refers to a 'console exclusive,' suggesting the game will likely exit early access on PC at the same time it launches on the Switch 2. As for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 versions, players on those platforms will have to wait an undisclosed amount of time after the Switch 2 launch.
CGMagazine's Hades 2 preview reads: 'Hades 2 is not only a blast to play, but easily justified as a follow-up to arguably the best game in their repertoire,' so fans of the original Supergiant Games release will want to keep an eye out for the sequel's full launch. For those who want to dive into early access now, Hades 2 is available via its Steam page.

"One day we were crossing our fingers for rent money and the next we had millions of players": REPO devs get candid, say the game "literally made semiwork as a studio survive" and insist future updates won't take so long
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. While we're all fawning over Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, let's not forget 2025's other surprise hit, REPO. The viral horror indie game absolutely blew up after it was released back in February, with almost 150,000 reviews on Steam (96% of them being positive, I might add). The popularity took the game's developer Semiwork by surprise, with the lead dev saying, "We slept once and have been awake ever since" as it works away at the game's first big update (that's currently in beta). However, the update has taken quite a while in beta, causing fans to wonder when it will be released. And – despite not really owing us anything – Semiwork has released a video titled "we're sorry – again." Semiwork dev Pontus Sundstrom opened the video by saying "we are aware that you guys are longing for the first update – we are as well. We're still on the home stretch, and there's still stuff to be done. But we want to apologize for all the waiting" before being heckled by the little REPO robots. But despite the video being dedicated to apologizing, Semiwork took the time to thank the player base. "As you all know, REPO took us by surprise," Sundstrom says, adding, "literally made Semiwork as a studio survive." He recounted that "One day we were crossing our fingers for rent money and the next we had millions of players storming our servers to play our game." Sundstrom mentions that the explosive success was both a blessing and a curse as it required a lot of bug squashing, paperwork, and hacker-proofing the game. He explains this is partially why the first update has taken so long, as this work has "pulled our tiny team away from all the fun stuff, which is to create actual content for the game." However, he assures that future updates won't take quite as long as this one has, with the dev promising a mountain of new surprises. REPO devs say "we've heard your feedback" and you can chill a bit: the Museum is "not finished," and the difficulty's going up with "Moon Phases" because "the game needs to keep up with you."

You could cut the tension with a needle—7 SteamDB changes in the past week have Silksong hopefuls wondering if the final hour is upon us
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Silksong may, after many long years, finally be releasing—or it may not be. A shadowdrop could be arriving tomorrow, or our eternal vigil may never end. It's either the final 24 hours, or time has no meaning anymore. One thing's for certain: SteamDB has some updates. In addition to the updates released earlier this week, which included achievement data for multiple languages, Silksong has had support for Windows, Mac, and Linux added, visible via SteamDB. At the time of writing, Silksong's minimum requirements don't list Mac or Linux as possible platforms, however, Steam does provide support for them, and developers can prep their store pages to send out platform-specific packages. As always, the Silksong subreddit is being delightfully normal about the news. In one thread, you can even see the ever-cynical doubters (we're well past the point of tribalistic factions) starting to crack. "FUCK MY FLAIR SILKSONG TOMORROW," roars one frantic switcher. "I... CANT... DENY... IT... ANY... LONGER!" writes another, with the tone of the Incredible Hulk swelling out of his shirt. On one hand, it is mighty suspicious that the games' Steam page would receive such a ferocious flurry of updates—seven in total, including this one—before Summer Game Fest. With a bevvy of announcements to come, the idea that Team Cherry's doing some preparatory updating before finally releasing the dang thing isn't entirely out of the question. On the other hand, a few SteamDB updates aren't substantial proof of anything if you aren't scrabbling for every scrap of hope you can. Almost no game since Elden Ring has had this much feverish hype built up behind it and, in a way, the cultish chanting is outstripping what Silksong is likely bound to be: A very good metroidvania. Which, given I've played several since Hollow Knight, is only saying so much. If Team Cherry does do the funniest thing it can and shadowdrop Silksong in a manner of hours, it'll mark the end to all doubting and hoping, all coping and copium. No more daily Silksong news, no more crossed fingers, no more Silkposts. Bait used to be believable, but if it's the dawn of the final day, it shall be absent entirely. All I can say is, if this is indeed the end? Gentlebugs, it has been an honour. 2025 games: This year's upcoming releasesBest PC games: Our all-time favoritesFree PC games: Freebie festBest FPS games: Finest gunplayBest RPGs: Grand adventuresBest co-op games: Better together
