After what has felt like an eternity in early access, the full release of Hades 2 is right around the corner, and this guide has all the details needed for the 1.0 release date and start times.
Regular updates have been deployed ahead of the full release, which was teased at the end of July with the accidental addition of Steam achievements, before the release date was officially confirmed during September’s Nintendo Direct.
If you can’t wait to dive into the full game, we’ve got all the details on the Hades 2 1.0 start times so you can set your alarms accordingly.
When is Hades 2 1.0 Coming Out?
Hades 2’s 1.0 release is set for September 25 on PC, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2, following an extensive early access period since May 2024.
After fans have waited a long while for the full release, which also brings Hades 2 onto the Nintendo family of consoles, there are no delays for the release date, and the fully-fledged version of the game is ready to launch.
The exact launch time for the title depends on your platform and region, with full details on that below.
Do we Know The Hades 2 1.0 Start Times?
Hades 2 will be available from 9 AM PT on Thursday, September 25.
The start times have been confirmed by Supergiant Games, the developer of Hades 2, confirming that a global release schedule has been adopted. This means everyone will dive into the game at the same time, and there’s no headstarts for those in New Zealand and Australia.
Any progress made during early access does transfer over, however, so you can actually start playing now, though you won’t be able to enjoy all of the new additions and improvements from the big 1.0 update.
The table below has the exact release times for major time zones around the world.
| Time Zone | Hades 2 Start Time |
|---|---|
| Pacific Time (PT) | 9 AM – Sept. 25 |
| Central Time (CT) | 11 AM – Sept. 25 |
| Eastern Time (ET) | 12 PM – Sept. 25 |
