Hi-Fi Rush's soundtrack has been removed from streaming platforms, coinciding with a publisher transition for the game. The change hints at logistical adjustments rather than a discontinuation.
Publisher Transition Details
Director John Johanas reassured fans, emphasizing the soundtrack will likely return soon. The publisher change involves moving from Xbox to Krafton, paralleling transitions at Tango Gameworks and other Bethesda studios following 2024 closures. This transition explains the sudden removal.
Availability in Stores
While the soundtrack faced delisting, the Hi-Fi Rush game remains accessible on major platforms, including Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox. The game's removal from third-party sellers like Green Man Gaming and the Humble Store is noted, yet does not signify a halt in availability. The implication points towards a reshuffling under Krafton's new stewardship.
According to Johanas, the delisting is a result of logistical and publishing responsibilities being reallocated. This change seems temporary and fans are advised not to be concerned.
