Hi-Fi RUSH is now available for pre-load on PlayStation 5 ahead of its release later this week and weighs in at 15.5GB.
Initially released (and shadow-dropped) as a Microsoft console exclusive last year, the rhythm-based action title from Tango Gameworks was recently confirmed to be coming to Sony's console as well. During a podcast about the future of Xbox, Phil Spencer mentioned that four smaller former Xbox console exclusives would be coming to rival platforms, but the exact titles weren't revealed. The arrival of Hi-Fi RUSH on PS5, however, was leaked by Bethesda’s Latin American channel, which launched a trailer for the trailer somewhat early.
As announced through the game's official X account, the Hi-Fi RUSH can now be pre-loaded for those who pre-ordered the game.
With the game becoming available for pre-load, X account 'PlayStation Game Size' has posted the game's file size, revealing that PS5 players will need around 15.5GB of free space on their consoles - that's around the same size as on Xbox Series X|S.
Hi-Fi RUSH launches on PS5 later this week on March 19. The game is already available on Xbox Series X|S and PC. Here's what we wrote about the game in our review last year:
Hi-Fi Rush is a simple game to get into if you're a fanatic of stylish combat games like Devil May Cry. However, what sets this game apart from games like the aforementioned is the fact that to get anywhere, you'll have to learn how to perform attacks and other actions on beat. While the game is certainly playable at lower difficulties with just a basic knowledge of action platformers, you will be faced with very strict mechanics on the higher difficulties.
Every track (or stage for the conventional fans) in Hi-Fi Rush will be broken into several Verses in which you'll be attacked by several enemies. Your job is to use Chai's junk guitar to smash them to pieces while holding their attacks off. At the start of the game, you'll only have access to a dodge and some basic button combos. However, as you continue smashing your way through the game's various stages, you'll unlock more abilities for yourself and your partners in crime.

I was there on day one, November 19 2020 (for us UK folk). I knew immediately what that knock at the door meant - it was here. I ripped open the boxes. New PS5 console? Nah, in the bin. Extra DualSense controller? Bye. Wife and kids? They don't exist, but if they did they'd be sacked off. Then I got to the bottom of the pile and found a small blue box with all my hopes and dreams encased. It was time for Godfall.
