On March 19, Bethesda Softworks and Tango Gameworks will launch their smash-hit, Hi-Fi RUSH, on PlayStation 5 consoles. Achieving over 20 perfect scores at launch and featured in 50+ “Best of 2023” lists, Hi-Fi RUSH is an over-the-top, rhythm action game set in a colorful world where everything is driven by the beat of the music. PlayStation players can look forward to battling to the beat and will have access to all the gameplay content available in the game, including the Arcade Challenge! Update! which includes two additional gameplay modes: BPM Rush! and Power Up! Tower Up!
In Hi-Fi RUSH, everything syncs to the beat, including combat sequences that perfectly align to the rhythm of the music, allowing for gameplay that is not only exhilarating but also extremely satisfying. A player’s moves aren’t dictated by the music like in a traditional rhythm game — players have the freedom of a full action game. However, inputting actions with the beat amplifies the player’s attacks along with the music.
Hi-Fi RUSH stars wannabe rockstar Chai after an evil robotics megacorporation accidentally fuses an old music player to his heart labels him a “defect”. With a squad of corporate overlords and their army of robots after him, Chai must defend himself through rhythmic combat and the help of a motley crew of allies to take down the company’s ruthless business leaders and escape.
Featuring licensed tracks from iconic rock bands, including Nine Inch Nails and The Black Keys, Hi-Fi RUSH will be available March 19 for PlayStation 5 and is currently available on Xbox Series X|S and PC with Xbox Game Pass as well as through the Microsoft Store, Steam and the Epic Games Store. Here are the full press details.
