Hades II And Dispatch Are Coming To Xbox Soon

Last year, Hades II and Dispatch were among the most critically acclaimed games. Hades II landed at number 2 on Game Informer‘s list of the best games of 2025, while Dispatch was one of the final titles cut from that top 10 list. However, they also have another thing in common: Neither came to Xbox last year. That is changing very soon, as both Supergiant Games and AdHoc Studio announced their critical and fan-favorite games are coming to Microsoft’s gaming platform in the next few months.

In Hades II, you take control of Melinoë as you journey through the underworld to take on Chronos, the Titan of Time. As the follow-up to one of the most acclaimed indie games and roguelites ever, Hades II had a high bar set for it, but it somehow managed to break through those expectations to deliver a genre-leading experience. Dispatch, which is a superhero workplace comedy, signaled a return of sorts for the episodic adventure game style that Telltale Games thrust into the mainstream consciousness. But Dispatch elevates the genre from simply telling compelling stories to matching the storytelling and cast quality to something you might spot on a high-end streaming service, while adding fun gameplay sequences throughout the chapters.

When it released on Switch 2, Switch, and PC on September 25, 2025, Hades II earned an extremely rare 10 out of 10 score from Game Informer, with Game Informer‘s Charles Harte saying, “Hades II is the pinnacle of the roguelike genre, a position I previously granted its predecessor, but one that its sequel has handily earned.” When Dispatch arrived on PS5 and PC on October 22, 2025, freelancer and former Game Informer editor Ben Reeves awarded it a 9 out of 10, saying, “Instead of imitating movies, it borrows liberally from prestige television, showcasing character-driven storytelling, slow-burn drama, and high emotional stakes that tighten with every episode.”

Hades II arrives on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, including on Xbox Game Pass, on April 14. Dispatch swoops onto the Xbox ecosystem this summer.
