Rumours
of
Hi-Ri
Rush
being
released
on
the
Nintendo
Switch
were
swirling
around
long
before
Microsoft
ever
announced
that
it
would
be
launching
on
PlayStation.
Now,
we’ve
gotten
a
semi-official
confirmation
that
Hi-Fi
Rush
is
indeed
coming
to
Nintendo’s
console.

PEGI
(Pan
European
Game
Information)
is
the
official
rating
board
for
games
within
Europe.
Any
new
game
being
released
in
Europe
has
to
be
submitted
to
PEGI
to
get
an
age
rating.
Its
therefore
a
highly
trustworthy
source
of
information
because
it
would
be
extremely
peculiar
for
a
non-existent
game
to
somehow
be
rated.
The
official
PEGI
page
for
Hi-Fi
Rush
has
been
updated
to
include
the
Nintendo
Switch
under
the
release
dates
and
platforms
section,
seemingly
confirming
that
its
real
and
not
being
held
back
for
the
Switch
2
like
many
people
thought.
There
were
some
rumours
that
the
Switch
version
had
been
cancelled
entirely.
It’s
not
uncommon
for
games
to
get
a
PEGI
rating
and
never
actually
release.
Oddly
though,
the
PEGI
listing
mentions
both
the
Switch
and
PS5
versions
as
being
released
on
30/04/2024.
The
PS5
version
was,
of
course,
released
on
March
19,
2024
after
Microsoft
announced
plans
to
bring
four
of
its
games
to
other
platforms.
Microsoft
has
yet
to
reveal
how
well
Hi-Fi
Rush
has
done
on
Sony’s
machine.
Rumours
that
Hi-Fi
Rush
would
come
to
Switch
began
when
data
miners
discovered
an
outfit
that
seemed
to
relate
to
Nintendo’s
machine.
However,
when
a
Switch
version
was
not
announced
alongside
the
PS5
version,
people
began
to
wonder
if
the
Switch
release
had
been
pushed
back
or
even
cancelled
outright
in
favour
of
a
Switch
2
port,
whenever
Nintendo
finally
gets
around
to
releasing
its
next-gen
console.
