Preload former Xbox exclusive Hi-Fi Rush on PS5 now

Former Xbox Series X|S hit, Hi-Fi Rush, is available for preload on PS5 right now. The rhythm hack-and-slash title is part of Xbox’s move to bringing some of its first-party titles to other platforms.

The official Twitter called on players to preload the game if they’ve already purchased it ahead of its launch on Tuesday, March 19. Unsurprisingly, some aren’t too happy with the better advertisement its PS5 version is receiving, as it was a successful shadow drop when it debuted in 2023.

So, prepare to step into the shoes of wannabe rocker Chai as he enters Vandelay Technologies to end up foiling the evil plans on its higher-ups and meeting a group of like-minded people along the way. The game itself found great success despite lacking a proper marketing campaign and was very much praised for its soundtrack and general art style.
