It's already been a very busy week for Game Pass, and the highlight hasn't even arrived yet! A year since its critically-acclaimed release for Nintendo Switch and PC, Hades is finally coming to Xbox Game Pass on Friday, August 13.
In terms of release times, we're a little bit in the dark because nothing has been officially acknowledged (as far as we know), but the Microsoft Store is suggesting that pretty much every region will benefit from a midnight release:
- Midnight, Thursday August 12 (AEST, EDT, BST, CEST, etc)
This does technically mean that if you're in New Zealand (or you switch your console to the NZ region - do it at your own risk!), you can already start playing Hades on Xbox Game Pass, and it'll soon be available in Australia as well.
If you'd rather wait until it's properly available in your region, or you're not sure whether you're even interested, we've prepared a guide with everything you need to know about Hades ahead of its Xbox Game Pass release.
Will you be playing Hades this Friday? Let us know down in the comments below!

I was excited to play this game but then heard how difficult it can be so almost passed up on it, until reading about God mode, and man, what An awesome idea! The fact that if I'm terrible enough to keep dying that the game will alter some elements to make it easier makes me feel comfortable with investing my time into completing =) can't wait to play it.
Hate to be a pedant but you shouldn't use am when referring to 12.00, midday or midnight is less confusing. Unless it's 12.01am then it's fine. I hate myself.
@Bobbycuckoo Just for you, I've changed it
@FraserG
That's lovely of you, altho now I feel a bit more of a sad git. 😂
@Doctorwhoooourgh if you rush to complete this game, you'll miss out on so much. Dying and dying again, reveals more of the dialogue between the denizens, the connections you'll have with the denizens who're helping out, etc. It isn't unforgivingly hard. You'll die, and recognize why, and adapt.
@Bobbycuckoo just to make you feel better, I'll be twice as much pedantic and demand Pure Xbox to change to a 24-hour clock, which is the least confusing system anyway. Midnight is 00:00, noon is 12:00, and you fine Brit gents take your tea at 17:00
@Magabro
Most acceptable, tho I'll skip the tea, I prefere a pint at 18.00 hours
