Hades 2 has made an explosive debut on Steam. Shortly after Early Access launched, the game shattered the original Hades' all-time concurrent player count within hours, topping 84,000 and eventually rising further. After full 1.0 release, SteamDB reports that Hades 2 peaked at 112,947 concurrent players, breaking its own previous records and vastly outperforming its predecessor, which reached ~ 54,240.

Analysts say this demonstrates both strong fan anticipation and the impact of leaving Early Access timed releases open. The performance on Steam not only underscores the game’s success, but also sets a new benchmark for Supergiant Games, raising questions about how movie-style sequels and DLC support will leverage this momentum.
