Hades Becomes Highest-Rated Video Game on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S

Two years after debuting through Early Access program of Epic Games Store, roguelike action dungeon crawler game Hades from developer/publisher Supergiant Games was released last year on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam.

Earlier last week, Hades has been launched on Xbox and PlayStation cross-generation consoles only to become a highest-rated entry on both Microsoft and Sony platforms within a few days over review aggregator website Metacritic.

PlayStation 5 version of Hades is currently sitting at top of all new releases with a 93 score on Metacritic, leaving behind other games like Demon's Souls (92), Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (88) as well as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 (90).

Xbox Series X/S version on the other hand is flying above Microsoft Flight Simulator (90), Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! (89), It Takes Two (89) and Metro Exodus: Complete Edition (81) with a staggering score of 94 listed on Metacritic.

Hades is at fourth place for Switch console behind The House in Fata Morgana (98), The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (97), Super Mario Odyssey (97) and Divinity: Original Sin II (93) with an overly impressive Metacritic score of 93.

Hades marks the latest entry in Supergiant Games' notable portfolio that was nominated and won over multiple accolades, including "Game of the Year" at British Academy Games Awards, D.I.C.E. Awards and GDC Awards this year.
