Hi-Fi RUSH

Wannabe rockstar Chai joins a robotics enhancement program at Vandelay Technologies, but an accident fuses his music player with his new robotic arm. Branded a defect, he teams up with other rebels to fight his way through the corporation. Move through staged levels with platforming, exploration, collectibles, and enemy arenas. Chain light and heavy attacks into combos, dodge and parry incoming strikes, and time actions to the music’s beat for stronger hits and higher ranks. The characters, enemies, and many environmental details move in time with the soundtrack. As the adventure progresses, Chai gains new moves and can call allies to assist in combat, including breaking defenses and extending combos. Boss fights add distinct encounters, while postgame activities include Rhythm Tower and the Arcade Challenge modes: BPM Rush’s escalating enemy waves and Power Up! Tower Up!’s floors with randomized upgrades.

A wannabe rockstar battles a robotics megacorp in beat-timed fights, platforming through stages alongside a crew of allies.

From Tango Gameworks, the studio that brought you The Evil Within® and Ghostwire®:Tokyo (no, really) comes Hi-Fi RUSH, an all-new action game where the characters, world and combat stylishly sync to the music!

Arcade Challenge! Update!

Test your abilities in two new game modes, uncover new rewards and even a few secrets in this free update to Hi-Fi RUSH, The Arcade Challenge! Update!

BPM RUSH tasks players to battle waves of enemies to music with a steadily increasing BPM or beats per minute. As you defeat each wave and tackle toughened-up new foes, the BPM will speed up to the next level, up to a whopping 200 BPM in the final stages!

Power Up! Tower Up! is a twist on the Rhythm Tower mode that players unlock after their first playthrough. You’ll be climbing up floors and defeating waves of enemies, but this time you’ll be powering up a downgraded Chai with randomized Upgrades!

The Arcade Challenge! Update! also contains additional content for players to earn through challenges and discover in-game, including poses for Photo Mode, t-shirts for Chai, Photo Mode stickers, extra outfits and even Special Attacks starring CNMN and Smidge, everybody's favorite mechanical friends.
