Hi-Fi Rush to get a physical release with pre-orders going live next week

Hi-Fi Rush has had an interesting life. Developed by Tango Gameworks and published by Microsoft following their acquisition of ZeniMax Media (aka Bethesda), the rhythm-focused action title received high praise across the board and was reportedly a success on all fronts according to Xbox. Unfortunately, Tango Gameworks would later be shut down – though it was thankfully revived by KRAFTON. Now under a new label, a physical release for Hi-Fi Rush has been officially announced.

Making the official announcement, physical media specialists Limited Run Games have revealed that they are releasing a disc version of Hi-Fi Rush.

Available for PS5/Xbox in 3 different variants, the Rhythm (standard) Edition includes the base game alongside all Digital Deluxe Edition content. The Smidge Edition meanwhile offers you a physical version of the game alongside a 3-disc soundtrack with developer notes; a special edition box and a bunch of in-game bonuses.

Last but certainly not least, the Project Armstrong Edition includes all of the above plus:

• A hardcover art book
• Glow in the dark pin
• Certificate of authenticity
• 6 inch guitar replica
• 8 inch 808 cat plush
• Chai’s Project Armstrong pass
• An even bigger collector’s box

All three versions of Hi-Fi Rush will be available to pre-order from the 16th of January until the 1st of March, with the Rhythm Edition costing you $39.99; the Smidge Edition going for $69.99 and the Project Armstrong Edition setting you back a whole $174.99.

Given the behind-the-scenes drama surrounding Tango Gameworks and Microsoft, it makes some sense that this physical release has taken quite a while to come to fruition. Still, for those who want a disc version of one of Tango Gameworks’ best titles, it is finally happening.
