Critically acclaimed roguelike Hades descends onto Netflix Games for iOS on March 19

Supergiant Games and Netflix have announced the popular action RPG Hades will arrive for iOS on March 19.

To play it, all you need is an iPhone or iPad running 16.0 or later, and a standard Netflix subscription. To get the game, sign into the Netflix app on your device, navigate to the games row, look for Hades, download it, and start playing.

The roguelike has you playing as Zagreus, the son of Hades, attempting to escape the Underworld with the help of various Olympic deities. In Hades, you’ll fight to escape the regions of Tartarus, Asphodel, Elysium, and the Temple of Styx before facing the God of the Underworld in a final battle.

Charity speedrunning extravaganza Games Done Quick has kicked off its first week-long event for 2024. Among the highlights are speedy plays of 2023 highlights including Starfield, Baldur’s Gate 3 and Lies of P, along with a marathon from the world’s first canine speedrunner.

Hades, one of the best games from 2020, will be joining Netflix's lineup of mobile games next year, alongside a number of other titles.

It's currently Netflix Geeked Week, meaning the streaming giant has been announcing all sorts of new shows - including a Witcher anime that's bringing back Doug Cockle as Geralt. But, Netflix had more than just shows up its proverbial sleeve this week, as it also announced a slate of games that would be joining its gaming side of the service across 2024. The biggest and most exciting announcement is easily Supergiant's incredible roguelite Hades, which honestly feels like one of the most fitting titles to come to Netflix so far. It's got action, romance, comedy, all the right components for a Netflix hit, so maybe this will be the one that convinces users its games are worth playing (especially considering less than 1% of subscribers actually play its games daily).

Hades isn't the only game joining Netflix next year either. Death's Door, a tough-as-nails action game that isn't quite a Soulslike but certainly does have similarities to the genre's combat, is also coming to Netflix. Again, this one feels like a great fit for Netflix, I could easily see a show about a crow reaper going around collecting souls. There's also Katana Zero, a neo-noir action-platformer with "instant-death combat," and some stylish pixel art.
