The Steam Deck still has one important advantage over the Nintendo Switch, and Hades 2 reveals it.

It’s always an exciting week when the sequel to one of the greatest games of all time surprise releases on a Monday. That’s what happened on May 6 when Hades 2 surprise launched into early access. Players are already diving into the surprisingly robust roguelike, testing their might in its new biomes. I’ve been enjoying it myself from the comfort of my couch — and not on my Nintendo Switch , where I played the first Hades. Instead, I’m curled up with my Steam Deck .

Recommended Videos Early access on the go Based on my time with it so far, Hades 2 is a phenomenal match for the Steam Deck. It’s already Verified for the platform, and for good reason. It looks fantastic and runs smoothly. I’ve already taken it on the go and found that it’s not a huge drain on the Steam Deck’s battery. At this point, I don’t imagine I’ll need to play it any other way.

Valve really got to flex its system’s power here, though, thanks to Hades 2‘s early access release. For the rest of the year, it’s likely that you’ll only be able to play it on PC. That’s often the case with lots of early access games, which start as PC exclusive and launch elsewhere at 1.0. It’s usually why I tend to wait until full release so I can have less restrictions on how I play.
