Originally announced during The Game Awards back in 2019, Hellblade 2 was the first Xbox Series X game to be announced and we were given a look at an in-engine trailer.

It's also a good idea to play (or even replay!) the game ahead of the launch of Hellblade 2. If you've yet to jump into the game, now seems like a better time than ever, then – leveraging the power of the new-gen machines will make the game feel even more impressive than it already was.

The upgrade is free for anyone who already owns the game, and Hellblade is also available to download and play via Xbox Game Pass as well as Xbox Cloud Gaming. In a new trailer, which you can see embedded below, Microsoft announced that an optimized version of Hellblade has launched for Xbox Series X/S, offering 'enriched visuals, DirectX Raytracing, resolution mode and more.' Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice has been optimized for the Xbox Series X/S, bringing better performance and new features to the critically and commercially successful game.
