Supergiant Games released Hades 2's second post-launch update alongside its PS5 and Xbox versions. The patch introduces a secret new game mode called Dream Dives and improvements to romance options. Players have discovered the mode after completing a specific quest.
Supergiant Games rolled out the update for Hades 2 on Tuesday, coinciding with the game's arrival on PS5 and Xbox consoles. Patch notes on Steam detail enhancements like better romance mechanics, new story elements, and permanent gift-giving for characters. One standout addition, kept under wraps by developers, is Dream Dives—a fast-paced alternative to standard runs that randomizes four zones while maintaining consistent enemy difficulty across them. The mode skips dialogues and focuses purely on combat, using a new currency called Shiny Stars for special rewards instead of usual materials. To unlock Dream Dives, players must first wake Hypnos via a quest and then rest on a dreamy bed in the Training Grounds. The update also makes it easier to bond with Icarus, addressing player feedback about his romance challenges, as noted by VGC.
