Hi-Fi Rush, the rhythm-action game developed by Tango Gameworks and published by Bethesda, is officially making its way to PlayStation 5 on March 19. This announcement confirms the rumors that have been circulating about Hi-Fi Rush’s expansion to other platforms.
Originally surprise-launched on Xbox Series X/S and PC in January 2023, Hi-Fi Rush has been celebrated for its unique blend of vibrant visuals, engaging action, and rhythm-based gameplay. The game requires players to fight enemies and navigate the world in sync with the music, creating a seamless and immersive experience that stands out in the gaming landscape.
With its distinct art style and soundtrack, Hi-Fi Rush quickly garnered itself a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim, even securing nominations and winning the Best Audio Design category at The Game Awards 2023.
As of August 2023, Hi-Fi Rush had reached three million players on Xbox and Game Pass, highlighting its popularity and success. The game’s strong reception is further reflected in its critical score of 89 on Metacritic. These numbers should only grow and get better as it becomes available on PS5, which boasts a significantly larger playerbase.
The transition of Hi-Fi Rush to the PS5 is part of Microsoft’s commitment to making more games accessible to a broader audience. Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft Gaming, has emphasized that this initiative is not a shift away from their fundamental exclusive strategy but rather a decision made for specific titles and the overall benefit of the Xbox ecosystem.
The PS5 version of Hi-Fi Rush will include all content released for the game, including the two extra modes from the Arcade Challenge update, and will offer a digital deluxe edition featuring additional cosmetics and Gears for upgrades.
With the game’s release on PS5, players can look forward to experiencing the rhythmic combat and captivating world of Hi-Fi Rush on Sony’s latest console.
