Hi-Fi Rush is a game that came out from far left field. There was no press release or teaser trailers, just a surprise announcement and subsequent release at Xbox’s Developer_Direct showcase and yet, the game has managed to surpass two million players, becoming a sleeper hit.
Developer Tango! Gameworks took the opportunity to thank everyone via Twitter last night, and in addition to the well-deserved pat on the back, there’s also a new update that provides a wealth of fixes, polishes and all-new photo mode players can experiment the next they jump in. Now, that’s class!
According to the press release, players can customise their pictures in a variety of ways such as filters, camera settings including FOV, stylised frames and colour edits, plus, you can even add protagonist Chai and allies in a variety of unique poses.
Screenshots can be found in the ‘My Capture’ menu on Xbox Series X|S, while PC players should check the folder where your Hi-Fi Rush saved games are stored, in a folder named ‘Screenshots.’ The more you know.
Finally, here’s a rather huge list that highlights all the fixed bugs players may have encountered during their initial playthrough:
