Bethesda’s Rhythm Action Game Set for PS5 Release
Bethesda Softworks, in collaboration with Tango Gameworks, announced the upcoming release of Hi-Fi RUSH for PlayStation 5 on March 19. The game, previously launched to critical acclaim, features a unique blend of rhythm-based action set in a vibrant, music-driven world. Hi-Fi RUSH has garnered attention for its innovative gameplay mechanics and has been celebrated in over 50 “Best of 2023” lists, alongside receiving more than 20 perfect review scores.
Gameplay and Features
Hi-Fi RUSH allows players to immerse themselves in a world where music dictates the pace of life, including combat.

The game is praised for its engaging combat sequences and the satisfaction of aligning moves perfectly with the rhythm.
The PlayStation 5 version of Hi-Fi RUSH will include all the gameplay content previously released, such as the Arcade Challenge! Update. This update introduces two new gameplay modes: BPM Rush! and Power Up! Tower Up!, offering players additional challenges and ways to engage with the game’s unique rhythm-based action.
The Story
Players step into the shoes of Chai, a hopeful rockstar turned fugitive after a mishap with an evil robotics corporation. This corporation, after accidentally merging an old music player with Chai’s heart and labeling him a defect, sets out to capture him. Chai, aided by a diverse group of allies, must navigate through rhythmic combat scenarios to take down the corporation’s leaders and escape their clutches.
Soundtrack and Availability
Hi-Fi RUSH features an electrifying soundtrack with licensed tracks from renowned rock bands, including Nine Inch Nails and The Black Keys. This selection of music plays a significant role in the game’s atmosphere and gameplay, enhancing the rhythmic combat experience.
The game, set to release on PlayStation 5 on March 19, is already available on Xbox Series X|S and PC. Players can access Hi-Fi RUSH through Xbox Game Pass, the Microsoft Store, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.
