Hey there, rockstars!

Hi-Fi RUSH’s third update introduces additional quality of life features and squashes a few pesky bugs! Plus, The Bossplay Costume Pack is now available for purchase!

BOSSPLAY COSTUME PACK NOW AVAILABLE

Chai and his friends are borrowing a bit of villainous Vandelay vogue in the Bossplay Costume Pack! Are our rocking renegades simply cosplaying as corporate creeps, or is it some dark mirror where the heroes have become the heels?
Whatever the reason, you can strut your stuff in sinister style with the optional Bossplay Costume Pack, available now for purchase via the Microsoft Store, Epic Games Store and Steam.

QUALITY OF LIFE UPDATES

2D Rhythm Game Assist (Located in the Accessibility Menu)
Available on Easy and Normal difficulty settings, this feature offers a wider window of success for timed inputs. Note that the frames added for successful inputs varies based on the BPM of the music playing during that Track.
Missing inputs will still allow players to complete the Rhythm Game (instead of instantly failing); players must input at least 70% of the correct inputs to succeed.
Events this feature applies to include:
Generators found in Track 01 and Track 03
Destroying the AR lens in Track 04
Activating the Data nodes in Track 05
Destroying the barrier in Track 11
Auto Rhythm Parry
Available on Easy and Normal difficulty settings, pressing and holding the button for the first action in a forced parry event (or dodge) will allow Chai to automatically parry or evade subsequent actions in the event.
Missing the initial action is okay, so long as players press and hold the input for the subsequent action. A player must still parry most attacks (approximately 70%) to ‘succeed’ in these game events.
In a Rhythm Parry Attack, players must still press attack or parry to the Beat Hit prompt to deal the finishing blow.
This action can be used on:
Rhythm Parry Attacks (regular enemies and bosses)
VU-REV’s grab attacks that require dodging
Lasers that require parrying to destroy
Please note that 2D Rhythm Game Assist and Auto Rhythm Parry are only available on Easy and Normal difficulty modes.
Collectible Information
The stage select screen now displays how many collectibles you have found in each stage. If there are no collectibles of a certain type in a particular stage, it will display 0/0.
Completed collections in a level will display a green checkmark on the stage select screen.

BUG FIXES

During the second phase of the battle with Roquefort, an issue was fixed whereby certain actions would cause the user to fall into the abyss, making it impossible to progress
An issue was fixed in Track 1 where the player could use the crusher obstacle to be pushed outside of the world
Fixed an additional instance where a “UE4 Fatal Error” could occur
Fixed an issue on Track 7 where if the player receives a Game Over exactly as when the final enemy of the fight is defeated, a magnet point will not be able to be grappled and prevents progress after reloading the game.
An instance where the achievement “Saw All Those Hits Coming” might not unlock for players who performed parries in training mode before completing them in a level has been fixed
Pressing both light and heavy attacks together during the Rhythm Parry Attack on the Brut-1L in Track 3 will now correctly destroy it
Fixed a bug that sometimes display offscreen enemy HP gauges after unpausing the game.
Fixed a bug where some enemies would not be defeated even when their HP gauge showed “0”
Minor bug fixes and adjustments to Photo Mode
The SCR-UB unit’s official paint color has been updated from Blue to Cyber Blue in hopes of increasing its “cool factor” among younger audiences.

Test your abilities in two new game modes, uncover new rewards and even a few secrets in the Arcade Challenge! Update!

The new BPM RUSH mode tasks players to battle waves of enemies to music with a steadily increasing BPM or beats per minute. As you defeat each wave and tackle toughened-up new foes, the BPM will speed up to the next level, up to a whopping 200 BPM!

In Power Up! Tower Up!, players take on the Rhythm Tower challenge with a new twist. Power Up! Tower Up! introduces Upgrades and Bugs between rounds – Upgrades boost Chai’s stats and provide other helpful boons, but at the cost of a lowered score multiplier. Bugs, meanwhile, boost your score potential and get you closer to those stylish S-Ranks…but at a cost.

The Arcade Challenge! Update! also introduces new Special Attacks starring our mechanical buddies CNMN and Smidge, new challenges to earn new Photo Mode stickers, some new t-shirts for Chai and outfits for Korsica, test out new poses and filters for Photo Mode and MORE!

Hi-Fi Rush stars the wannabe rocker Chai as he battles for freedom from an insidious robotics company with the power of music. Like the encore after a stellar concert, the Arcade Challenge! Update! for Hi-Fi Rush adds even more for players to discover after completing the raucous story mode – and best yet, it’s out NOW and free for all players!
