Oh, bet you didn’t see this one coming. An Xbox game launching on the Switch 2? Yeah, that’s right. Hi-Fi Rush, of all games, is apparently eyeing Nintendo’s next big thing.
Insider-Gaming spilled the beans. Microsoft’s got its sights set on bringing Hi-Fi Rush to the Switch 2. Earlier, whispers were saying it’d land on the Switch after a leak. But, uh, plot twist! That might be off the table now. Just yesterday, Hi-Fi Rush got the nod for PS5, but the Switch? Nada. GameSpot’s on the case, though, poking ZeniMax for some deets.
Size matters, they say. 640 × 360480 × 270, to be exact. But, hey, you’ll need a browser that’s up to snuff for HTML5 videos if you wanna catch the action. And, oh, the format’s gotta be right, or it’s a no-go. Got your heart set on this content? Tough luck if you can’t access it. They’re asking for your DOB to let you in on the video. You know the drill—tick, tock, enter your birth date.
By hitting ‘enter,’ you’re saying “yeah” to GameSpot’s rules of engagement and their privacy spiel. So, go on, press enter. And, hey, they’ve even got a video review of Hi-Fi Rush playing now.
In a surprising twist, Microsoft’s not just playing favorites with Hi-Fi Rush. Nope. It’s a party, and Pentiment and Grounded are also hitting the Switch. PlayStation fans aren’t left in the cold, though—they’re getting those two plus Sea of Thieves on PS5. This bombshell dropped at yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, alongside a nostalgia trip with five classic Rare games for Switch’s online peeps.
But wait, there’s more. Last week’s buzz was all about the Switch 2 maybe eyeing a 2025 debut. Yeah, not this year as we hoped. Seems like Nintendo’s cooking up something big for the launch lineup, hence the wait. Curious? There’s a whole treasure trove of info on Switch 2 out there.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Hi-Fi Rush is already out there, living its best life on Xbox Series X|S and PC. PS5’s joining the party on March 19. And if you’re wondering if it’s worth the hype, GameSpot’s got a review that might just sway you.
