Digital storefronts will be updated over time to disclose that KRAFTON is the publisher of Hi-Fi RUSH. Last year, Maria Park, the KRAFTON head of corporate development, teased its plans for the upcoming release of Hi-Fi Rush 2. She states that, before KRAFTON saved Tango Gameworks from closure, it was already working on a six-month build of the sequel.
Lastly, Hi-Fi RUSH is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store.
