Hades 2 Early Access has reached over 100,000 concurrent players 24 hours after launch, beating Hades' all-time peak player count on Steam. 

The Early Access version of Hades 2 received a surprise launch on May 6 for Steam and quickly made its way to the top of the Trending Games list for the digital storefront. 

The roguelike is now sitting comfortably at number 11 on the current top 15 most-played titles but takes first place as the top trending game. It's also the top-selling game of the past 24 hours.

In Hades 2, you play as Melinoë the Princess of the Underworld and sister to Hades' main character Zagreus, on a quest to save her father, brother, and mother from Chronos, the father to Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon in Greek Mythology. 

We don't yet have a release date for Hades 2 version 1.0, but Supergiant Games has confirmed that, like the first game, it will continue to add updates and introduce more characters in Early Access, all of which will culminate in the v1.0 launch.
