High-fidelity music
Hi-Fi Rush is a lively rhythm-action game released in 2023. Developed by Tango Gameworks and published by Bethesda Softworks, the game first came to Windows and Xbox Series X/S on January 25, 2023, and is later scheduled to come to PlayStation 5 on March 19, 2024.
The game revolves around the story of Chai, a self-proclaimed “future rock star” who undergoes experimental cybersurgery that causes his music player to accidentally become embedded in his chest. This unique transformation allows him to engage in rhythm combat and perceive the world in a new, synesthetic way.
However, Chai is labeled a “defective” and becomes the target of a ruthless corporate hunt. To deal with this threat, he forms an alliance with new friends, aiming to thwart corporate executives and foil their sinister plans. One of the special features of Hi-Fi Rush is that it incorporates licensed music from popular bands such as The Black Keys and Nine Inch Nails. This adds an extra level of excitement and immersion to the game.

How to play Hi-Fi Rush
As a rhythm action game, Hi-Fi Rush offers an engrossing gaming experience. Players control the protagonist, Chai, in a world where his movements, the movements of the enemies, and even parts of the environment are synchronized to the rhythm. The game also features a clever blocking move, where players can cancel enemy attacks by simply pressing a button at the right time.
The game unfolds in different linear stages, each representing a different division of the evil corporation. Each division has its own unique musical style, and players face boss battles at different stages. In addition to the combat action, Hi-Fi Rush also contains rhythm-based mini-games, where players can respond to prompts in a call-and-response manner or follow on-screen prompts to perform rhythmic sequences.
Players can also explore platforming elements and enhance their abilities using in-game upgrades earned through combat or exploration. Completing the game unlocks extra features such as revisiting levels, new difficulty settings, and the challenging survival mode “Rhythm Tower”.
