Hi-Fi Rush is a real-time third-person hack and slash music/rhythm game developed by Tango Gameworks and published by Bethesda Softworks.

The game follows amateur rockstar Chai, a young man who had a portable music player mistakenly fused with his heart following a corporate experiment, as he rebels against a megacorporation with his ragtag team of friends.

The game was announced at the Xbox & Bethesda Developer_Direct on January 25, 2023, and was released the same day.

Post-launch patches fixed several bugs and crashes, while adding a photo mode.[1]
