Being an Xbox Game Pass subscriber can be a bit like playing roulette, with some month's offerings being a treasure trove of underrated gems and some of the biggest AAA releases, whilst others leave a lot to the imagination. However, one epic and award-winning RPG has been added to the Game Pass library, allowing users to experience up to 50+ hours of thrilling content. As a big fan of this game myself, it is one I would recommend to everybody, even if it is not a genre you would usually gravitate towards.
Available on the Xbox Game Pass Premium tier is none other than Hades II. First released back in 2025 as the highly anticipated sequel to 2020's Hades, this award-winning roguelike set in a land rife with Greek mythology and its famous figures, the story follows Melinoë, the sister of Zagreus, who must fight to save her family and put an end to the rule of Chronos, the God of Time. Praised for its unique art-style, challenging gameplay, stunning soundtrack and performances, Hades II was nominated for Game of the Year back in December and its popularity shows no signs of dwindling.
