Hi-Fi Rush for Nintendo Switch Rumored, PEGI Rating Suggests Imminent Release

Hi-Fi Rush debuted on PlayStation 5 in March 2024, more than a year after its initial release on PC and Xbox Series. Although a Nintendo Switch version was rumored, it did not initially materialize. As the game’s second anniversary approaches on January 25, 2026, new details suggest Krafton, the current owner of the Hi-Fi Rush IP and Tango Gameworks (formerly a Microsoft studio), is planning a Nintendo Switch release. PEGI recently updated the Hi-Fi Rush page for Nintendo Switch, suggesting that Krafton is preparing the game for Nintendo’s console. This development follows Microsoft’s 2023 agreement with Nintendo to bring Xbox titles, including Call of Duty, to Nintendo platforms. In related news, a data miner recently discovered Nintendo-related code within a Call of Duty update, fueling speculation about a launch on the Nintendo Switch 2, or possibly the original Nintendo Switch. The PEGI rating specifically lists a version for the original Nintendo Switch, which may indicate a separate version is in development for the Nintendo Switch 2. If a January 16, 2026, release date proves accurate, this timing would allow Krafton to revitalize interest in the game and potentially capture the attention of Japanese players.
