Tango Gameworks has announced that Hi-Fi RUSH will receive its final patch today. This comes after Microsoft announced that it would close Tango Gameworks last week, effective immediately. A decision like this resulted in large discussions about what studios need to survive, especially since Hi-Fi RUSH was praised with success by Xbox leadership.
Alongside this update, the studio confirmed that the physical edition of the game with Limited Run Games will be moving forward. This is fantastic news, paving the way toward game preservation of this outstanding title. It’s unclear if there will be a Collector’s Edition for the title, but we expect there will be one following Grounded. Both Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 will receive a physical edition. And if the forever-rumored Switch version is out by then, we’d expect it to get one, too.

- (Track 01) Fixed an issue during the latter half of the 2D area whereby the camera would not follow Chai when the elevating lift falls.

- Some issues would occur when trying to use Macaron’s Gravity Well while Rhythm Parrying an enemy. Well, this is now fixed!
- (Track 03) Cutscenes previously would not play correctly if a Health Tank was consumed during the fight with the HG-0G. Feel free to block a few more hits with your face because this bug is fixed!
