In an unexpected turn of events, it seems that Hi-Fi Rush, the critically acclaimed game from Tango Gameworks, may be making its way to PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. The news comes after a Reddit user named RamenMan22 shared what appears to be t-shirt textures from the game’s Anniversary Update, hinting at the possibility of a port to these popular gaming platforms.
The leaked t-shirt textures feature phrases and designs that strongly suggest the game’s impending release on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. One of the shirts reads, “I’m Here Baby,” while another says, “Rock Out Anywhere!” These phrases seem to indicate that Hi-Fi Rush could be coming to PlayStation and Nintendo Switch, with the former referencing the potential expansion of a Microsoft exclusive to PlayStation and the latter highlighting the portability of the Nintendo Switch.
But the leaks don’t stop there. The t-shirt textures also include references to a potential release on other platforms. A green shirt with the phrase “Shadow Dropped” seems to reference the sudden release of Hi-Fi Rush on Xbox and PC after January 2023’s Developer Direct. Another grey shirt texture bears the phrase “This Is Simply Epic,” alluding to the game’s availability on the Epic Games Store.
Rumors of Hi-Fi Rush’s expansion to other platforms have been circulating for some time now. Given Microsoft’s history of releasing limited exclusives on rival platforms, the possibility of the game making its way to PlayStation and Nintendo Switch doesn’t seem entirely far-fetched. Furthermore, reports have suggested that Hi-Fi Rush may not have performed as well in terms of sales as initially hoped, possibly prompting the developers to explore other platforms to recoup development costs.
In a review by GameSpot, Hi-Fi Rush was praised for its unique blend of gameplay elements, with the review describing it as “an excellent break from the norm for the horror buffs at Tango Gameworks, meshing the energetic combat of a character-action brawler with the toe-tapping beats of a stylish rhythm game.”
The potential expansion of Hi-Fi Rush to PlayStation and Nintendo Switch has sparked excitement and speculation among fans of the game. Many are eager to see how the game’s dynamic gameplay and immersive experience will translate to these new platforms, especially given the unique features and capabilities of each.
While nothing has been confirmed by Tango Gameworks or the game’s publishers, the leaked t-shirt textures have certainly stirred up interest and discussion within the gaming community. As fans eagerly await official confirmation of the potential ports, the possibility of experiencing Hi-Fi Rush on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch continues to captivate the imagination of gamers worldwide.
