After claiming a position among Steam’s top sellers, Hi-Fi Rush continues its success
The new Tango Gameworks game titled ‘Hi-Fi Rush’ earned favourable reviews from critics and players despite receiving little promotion before its release. Additionally, it has already overtaken Forspoken in Steam sales this week, demonstrating the game’s commercial and critical success.
About Hi-Fi Rush
Released on January 25, 2023, Hi-Fi Rush is an action rhythm game with a unique art style that was influenced by titles like Jet Set Radio and Sunset Overdrive 2. Hi-Fi Rush was created by Tango Gameworks, a studio that has previously specialised in making horror games like The Evil Within and Ghostwire: Tokyo, thus its release represents a change of pace for them. Hi-Fi Rush’s favourable reviews imply that the studio’s decision to branch out into a new genre was a wise one.
Sales performance
According to a report by Steam, Hi-Fi Rush is listed ninth on the list of the top-selling games globally, while Forspoken is not even in the top 10. This is important, especially given that Forspoken is expensive ($70), but Hi-Fi Rush is only $30. Hi-Fi Rush has 98% good reviews on Steam while Forspoken has a mixed rating despite being launched without much promotion. According to the research, Forspoken’s PC compatibility concerns may have hampered PC users from enjoying the game.
The sales performance of many video games on Steam, including Hi-Fi Rush, is discussed in the text. Other titles like CS: GO and Hogwarts Legacy are on the list of best-selling video games, with Hogwarts Legacy coming in second and PUBG: Battleground in third. Despite not being released until February 7th, Hogwarts Legacy is selling well, which highlights fans’ tremendous degree of anticipation. Whether Hogwarts Legacy does better than Hi-Fi Rush or Forspoken in terms of audience response, remains to be judged.
Conclusion
Since the studio has not formally disclosed any intentions for a sequel, it is presently unknown what will happen with the game. The game’s “shadow drop” release method, in which it was published without any advertising, might, however, be a hint of better things to come from Xbox, the developer of the title. If the Xbox Developer Direct from Microsoft is any indicator, the video game company may have more thrilling surprises in store for 2023.
