Hades 2 Is a Hit on Steam and the eShop — 100,000 Players in a Day and It Dethrones Hollow Knight: Silksong

Hades 2 has drawn over 100,000 concurrent players on Steam and climbed to the top of digital charts. Supergiant Games’ new title launched with notable success on both PC and Nintendo Switch.

According to the platform’s data, the game hit 112,947 concurrent players on Steam within its first 24 hours — a level typically reserved for the most eagerly awaited releases.

The performance on Nintendo’s consoles was just as impressive. At the time of writing, Hades 2 holds the number-one position on the Nintendo eShop digital sales chart, knocking Hollow Knight: Silksong from the top spot.

In short, the Supergiant Games franchise has dominated the eShop charts, and Steam’s numbers confirm robust interest in the sequel. Considering the game’s timed exclusivity, its success is likely to grow further as it arrives on additional platforms.
