In recent months, Microsoft has hinted at a notable shift in its strategy towards multiplatform releases. While its not expected that all Xbox Game Studios big titles will be available on competing platforms like PlayStation and Nintendo, there are indications that some games once exclusive to the gaming ecosystem will make the leap. All signs point to one of these games being HI-FI RUSH.
HI-FI RUSH is on the verge of arriving on PlayStation and Switch
Recently, the rumor of HI-FI RUSH coming to PlayStation and Nintendo Switch gained traction after an image supposedly obtained through data mining in Tango Gameworks game surfaced. The detail in question is a pair of in-game T-shirt icons, one showing the silhouette of the protagonist on a blue background with the phrase "Im here, baby!" The other design features a robotic arm on a red background with the phrase "Rock out anywhere."
Both have been taken as supposed evidence that the code of HI-FI RUSH in its updated version anticipates its release on PlayStation and Switch.
Claims were made that the image was fake, but a very reliable source confirmed its real
However, controversy quickly arose as one Reddit user who uploaded the image, going by the name "RamenMan22," claimed to have only taken the image from Tumblr and posted it, asserting that no data mining or similar activities were involved.
Just when it was thought to be fake news, the same Reddit user mentioned that they only shared the image of the designs found in HI-FI RUSH but cannot confirm if its fake or real.
Later on, everything was clarified as Tom Warren, a renowned journalist from The Verge, categorically stated that the image is real. He confirmed that the data mining of HI-FI RUSH and its result is legitimate, and he predicted that the game from Tango Gameworks will come to PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
