Highlights

  • Hi-Fi Rush, now available on PS5 for $29.99, is a stylish action game with unique rhythm-based combat system.
  • Developed by Tango Gameworks, the game received high praise for originality and sense of humor.
  • Hi-Fi Rush was once exclusive to Xbox on consoles but is now expanding to PS5.

The critically-acclaimed once-Xbox console exclusive game Hi-Fi Rush is now available on PS5. Hi-Fi Rush was one of 2023's surprise hits, shadow-dropped to rave reviews last year. Developed by Tango Gameworks, Hi-Fi Rush is a stylish action game with a unique rhythm-based combat and movement system. It earned a great deal of praise for its originality and sense of humor, with it ultimately becoming one of the highest-rated games in a year full of landmark releases.

Tango Gameworks is part of Bethesda, with both companies falling under the Xbox Game Studios umbrella. Considering this, it's no surprise that Hi-Fi Rush was an Xbox console exclusive when it first launched. However, it was long rumored that Hi-Fi Rush could potentially make its way to competing platforms. It was eventually confirmed by Microsoft that Hi-Fi Rush would indeed be coming to PS5, and now the game is finally available on Sony's latest console.

Hi-Fi Rush PS5 Trophies Revealed

Hi-Fi Rush's PlayStation 5 trophies are revealed, and users will have to work to earn its Platinum trophy once the game releases on March 19.

PS5 gamers now have the chance to play Hi-Fi Rush for themselves, and they can even get the game at a budget price. Hi-Fi Rush is $29.99 on the PlayStation Store, which is not a bad deal at all for a game with an 89 overall critic rating. Of course, those on Xbox have the option of playing Hi-Fi Rush through Xbox Game Pass, but $29.99 is still a great price for such a high-quality game.

It will be interesting to see how well Hi-Fi Rush performs on the PS5, and if that inspires Xbox to bring it to even more platforms. There have been rumors that Hi-Fi Rush could be coming to the Switch 2 as well, though official plans to that effect have yet to be announced. Nintendo has yet to even announce the Switch console, and so it will still be quite some time before fans know what games are in the works for the device.

Xbox Games Coming to PS5

  • Pentiment - Available now
  • Hi-Fi Rush - Available now
  • Grounded - April 16
  • Sea of Thieves - April 30

In the meantime, Xbox is bringing even more of its games to PS5 in the near future. Pentiment is already available, but Grounded and Sea of Thieves are coming to Xbox in April. Grounded will launch for PS4, PS5, and Switch on April 16, while Sea of Thieves is joining the PS5 lineup on April 30. Sea of Thieves has already been a huge hit on PlayStation with impressive pre-order numbers, and so one has to imagine Xbox will consider bringing even more of its titles to competing platforms when it makes sense to do so.
