One of the biggest surprises during the Xbox & Bethesda Developer Direct was Hi-Fi Rush, a new rhythm action game developed by Tango Works, the developers of The Evil Within series and Ghostwire: Tokyo. As it appeared during a Microsoft showcase, the expectation is that Hi-Fi Rush will be accessible to those that own Game Pass, but not all of the games featured in the show are coming to the subscription service. So is Hi-Fi Rush available on Game Pass? Here is what you need to know.

Is Hi-Fi Rush available on PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass?
The rock and roll brawler Hi-Fi Rush is available to download on PC and Xbox Game Pass right now. If it does not appear in the dedicated Game Pass app on PC, it can be found in the Microsoft Store, along with its Deluxe Edition and a Deluxe Edition Upgrade Pack. Those with a Game Pass subscription can still install the Microsoft Store version of Hi-Fi Rush.
The base version of Hi-Fi Rush is available on Game Pass, requiring 15.96 GB of space to download. The Deluxe Edition of Hi-Fi Rush comes with several cosmetic outfits for the protagonist and 20,000 Gears, which are used for unlocking skills and buying upgrades. If any of those DLC items sound appealing, they can be added to the base version of Hi-Fi Rush through the Deluxe Edition Upgrade Pack, which is available on the Microsoft Store.
The PC and Xbox Game Pass services favored quality over quantity in January, with games like Monster Hunter Rise, Persona 3 Portable, and Persona 4 Golden all being made available for subscribers. Those are some top-tier games, but fans have expressed their disappointment regarding the small selection of titles, even though more games were added later in the month. The shadow drop for Hi-Fi Rush was an excellent inclusion for the Xbox & Bethesda Developer Direct, as it opens the door for similar exciting Game Pass surprises.
