Hi-Fi Rush, a major success on Xbox Game Pass in 2023, received an update on Thursday, January 25. The recent update for Hi-Fi Rush includes new cosmetics, bug fixes, and improved controller support for PC players.

In January 2023, Hi-Fi Rush was released unexpectedly on the day of its announcement at Xbox's Developer Direct conference. This unconventional approach proved to be effective as Hi-Fi Rush rapidly gained popularity, impressing fans with its unique rhythm-based gameplay. Since then, Hi-Fi Rush has launched six updates, adding cosmetics, bug fixes, a Photo Mode, the Arcade challenge, and quality-of-life improvements. The seventh update brought similar content.

On the game's first anniversary, January 25, Update 7 introduced the Anniversary T-Shirt Bundle, available to all users. The bundle offers four new shirts for Chai, as well as platform-specific shirts for Xbox, Steam, and Epic Games Store users. The update also expanded controller support for PC users by adding additional icons. Additionally, Update 7 for Hi-Fi Rush included various bug fixes addressing issues like cutscene textures not loading properly, certain parts of the Wall of Fame not unlocking correctly, a Directional Parrying glitch, and more.

New Additions With Hi-Fi Rush's Update 7

  • Anniversary T-Shirt Bundle (free for all users)
  • Improved controller support on PC
  • Bug fixes

Hi-Fi Rush did not specify when fans can expect the next patch, but considering the decreasing frequency of updates since its release, it may be several months or longer until additional content or bug fixes are introduced. However, this is purely speculative. In more exciting news, there are rumors of Hi-Fi Rush being released on Nintendo Switch sometime this year.

Following Hi-Fi Rush's win for Best Audio Design at The Game Awards 2023, Switch fans might have something to look forward to. However, this information is yet to be confirmed, so Switch fans should manage their expectations. Some fans are speculating whether Hi-Fi Rush's potential Switch release could indicate more developments, following reports that Sea of Thieves, another Xbox exclusive, will launch on PlayStation this year. Again, this is just speculation, and Xbox has not confirmed this new strategy despite numerous rumors.

Hi-Fi Rush has not confirmed a sequel yet. However, considering its five nominations at The Game Awards and its widespread recognition as one of the best Game Pass titles of 2023, it seems unlikely that Tango Gameworks would choose to abandon the series.
