Hi-Fi Rush Tops 3 Million Players - News

Tweet

Publisher Bethesda Softworks and developer Tango GameWorks have announced Hi-Fi Rush has surpassed three million players since its release in late January.

"The total number of players of Hi-Fi Rush as exceeded 3 million!" reads a tweet from the official Japanese Tango Gameworks Twitter account. "From all of us at Tango Gameworks, thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

Microsoft's GM of Xbox games marketing Aaron Greenberg earlier this year said the game was a "break out hit" and did meet expectations.

"Hi-Fi Rush was a break out hit for us and our players in all key measurements and expectations," Greenberg said at the time. "We couldn’t be happier with what the team at Tango Gameworks delivered with this surprise release."

Hi-Fi Rush is a rhythm-action game that was announced and released on January 25 of this year for the Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Xbox Game Pass.

I sure hope that it's a slamming success. Hi Fi Rush is a very fun game, one of the best games this year, and probably my favorite game from MS in ten years.

Excellent game that is fun to play. I'm shocked no more people have played it since its on Game Pass. I wonder if people put it on hold while finishing other games. I know I did for a bit.

The best game MS has put out in 10 years and they don't treat it very well.

........how? lol it was the big surprise announcement at an important showcase, funded free DLC for it that released a month ago, and received a lot of marketing when it released. Including premiering that DLC during one of their summer showcases. I mean, what else do you want?

Show me a physical copy. I didn't see any marketing for it. Meanwhile despite tying to actively avoid it. I could not avoid Redfall marketing anywhere online or Starfeild.

Yeah, a physical copy I can understand. Although I wouldn't say it's common for a $30 game to receive a physical copy from a platform holder. Pentiment, Grounded, and Hi-Fi Rush I really want to see physical copies for down the road. If Xbox won't make them, hopefully Limited Run Games does.

Not sure where you were in January, but after the shadow drop, it was really hard to escape marketing for Hi-Fi Rush for the first few weeks lol. YouTube ads, game stores, of course social media, and I saw it a few times on television as well. Of course, a $30 game isn't going to get the marketing of a $70 game, so you can only expect so much.

Do a Pentiment/Hi-Fi Rush combo for $50, or a Pentiment/Hi-Fi Rush/Grounded combo for $70 at retail. :)

I won't buy it as I'm digital only,, but it'd be good for those who would.
