Hi-Fi Rush, developed by Tango Gameworks, is a colorful action-rhythm game that got a surprise release in 2023 and ended up being one of the best games of the year. But the studio behind it was recently closed by Xbox, making the game’s final update a somber farewell to fans.

On May 7, Xbox announced it was shutting down three Bethesda-owned studios: Arkane Austin, Alpha Dog Games, and Tango Gameworks. The day after, Xbox leadership reportedly told Bethesda employees that the company decided to shut down the studios because Microsoft had too many developers, and resources were spread too thin. One of the richest companies in the world—which had spent the last few years buying up studios and publishers—suddenly saying that it can’t manage and afford all these teams didn’t go over well with devs and fans online. And now, after the dust has settled, Tango Gameworks has released what is likely the final update for its last game.

On May 15, the official Hi-Fi Rush Twitter account confirmed that the game was still going to get, as previously promised, a physical release via Limited Run Games, something fans were worried wasn’t going to happen after the shutdown.

It also confirmed that one last update was coming later in the day for Hi-Fi Rush that would “address some minor issues.” About two hours later the update was live and so were the patch notes.

“We’ve released a patch today that takes care of some remaining issues,” posted Tango Gameworks. “Check out the changes, and thank you again for your support of Hi-Fi Rush. You’re all rockstars!”

The update is small and its patch notes are short, but for fans of Hi-Fi Rush and Tango Gameworks (who also developed the Evil Within horror series), it’s a somber and sweet goodbye. Hi-Fi Rush, a great game, is a little bit better today than it was yesterday and that’s nice. Hopefully, the people who made it can say the same one day as they find new work and opportunities out there.

Here are the full patch notes for Hi-Fi Rush’s final update, live now on all platforms:
