Hades 2 early access launch on Steam reaches over 100k concurrent players 24 hours after launch

Within 24 hours of its early access launch on Steam, "Hades 2" has garnered over 100,000 concurrent players, surpassing the peak numbers of its predecessor, "Hades." The first game's record was 37,749 on Steam, though it initially launched as an Epic Games Store exclusive. Supergiant Games, the developer, is planning a major update for later in the year and aims to remain in early access until at least the end of 2024 to complete additional content. Early reviews suggest "Hades 2" maintains the original's charm but promises new surprises as development progresses.
