Hi-Fi Rush's Physical Edition will be making its way to game consoles.

Earlier in 2024, Bethesda took to X to announce that the game development behemoth is collaborating with Limited Run Games to bring a Physical Edition for its cherished title that won the category of best audio design in The Game Awards 2023.

The following was stated in the announcement:

"We're collaborating with Limited Run Games to bring physical editions of @hifiRush to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5!"

Today, the official account for the game tweeted the following, confirming that the Physical Edition will be available soon:

"Thank you all for your continued support. We’re working to release the physical edition of Hi-Fi RUSH with our partners at Limited Run Games, as well as a final patch to address some minor issues releasing later today."

The developers will release a final update today that will fix some of the minor issues in the game, and although no specific date was confirmed by the tweet, we can hope that the Physical Edition will arrive later this year.

Although this calls for a small cause for celebration in the community, the sudden shutdown of Tango Gameworks is still a heartbreak to fans of Hi-FI Rush, who expected a sequel, and even fans of the Evil Within series.
