Netflix and developer Supergiant Games have announced that they’re finally bringing Hades to Apple iOS devices in 2024, thanks to Netflix.
The game will be available exclusively to Netflix subscribers on compatible devices, which also means it’ll have no in-game purchases, ads or other fees beyond the cost of the Netflix subscription, and it’ll feature cloud saving capability along with a newly-designed touch interface as well as bluetooth controller support.
Feel more with PS5. Beyond the everyday. Beyond extraordinary. Even beyond imagination. Feel it now.
Here’s the announcement trailer for Hades on Netflix:
Supergiant also posted a handy FAQ on its official website alongside the announcement, clearing up a few lingering questions. Here are some of the more useful points:
How can I play Hades on iOS once it’s available?
All you need is a compatible iOS device and a standard subscription to Netflix! While signed in to the Netflix app on your device, simply navigate to the games row and look for Hades there! Then you can download the game and play all you like.
Hades should run great on an iPhone or iPad running iOS 16 or later. We will have the full requirements closer to launch.
Will I be able to purchase Hades for iOS separately?
Hades for iOS will be available exclusively through Netflix Games for the foreseeable future.
What control settings are in Hades on iOS?
Hades on iOS features fully customisable touch controls designed for this version of the game. You can also wirelessly connect a Bluetooth controller to your device for more of a console-style experience!
Does Hades on iOS support Cloud Saves and Achievements?
Yes and yes. Please note, however, that due to a variety of technical constraints, automatic save transfers (i.e., cross-saves) with any existing version of Hades are not supported.
Is Hades also coming to Android devices?
We appreciate the interest though we have no plans for additional versions of Hades at this time.
We gave Hades a huge 9.5/10 in our original review, saying “Hades is a perfect amalgamation of everything that makes Supergiant Games one of the best independent developers out there, with a killer gameplay loop, heartfelt story, and writing that will have you hinging on every single word. This game deserves all the attention it’s getting and more, and I implore you to play it for yourself.”
