Hi-Fi Rush will skip the current Nintendo Switch and instead arrive on the console’s currently-unannounced successor. That’s according to a report from Insider Gaming, which states that the absence of a Switch version of the game in yesterday’s Xbox multi-platform announcement was due to it launching on Nintendo Switch 2 instead.
Whether Hi-Fi Rush could still eventually launch for the current Switch as well – perhaps at the same time? – is unclear, the report concluded.
Certainly, a launch for Hi-Fi Rush on a Nintendo platform has been expected. Earlier this year, in-game clothing designs seemed to point to the rhythm action game going multi-platform in the near future. This apparent tease preceded any other multi-platform plans being discussed publicly by Microsoft, and the decision to launch four games on other consoles ultimately being laid out this month.
