Hades 2 dropped completely out of the blue on May 6, shocking the gaming world with early access to one of the most anticipated sequels in recent memory. But even more shocking was the price Supergiant Games settled on—and what it represents for the industry.
While big games continue to slowly tick upwards into the $70 USD range more frequently as we move further into this modern console generation, Hades 2 matched the original’s $29.99 price point. Yes, the game is in early access and won’t be feature complete or on other platforms besides PC for some time yet, but for the sheer amount and quality of gaming content you are getting, that is among the best deals you could ask for.
