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 released the same day on Xbox Series X/S, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store and Steam.
