Aaron Greenberg decided to react to the rumor about Hi-Fi Rush. According to the latest report, the production did not meet expectations, but the head of Xbox’s marketing is of a different opinion. The game was described as a hit.
From the morning, the media from all over the world are discussing about Hi-Fi Rush, because Jeff Grubb mentioned that the production did not live up to expectations . Many players wondered if the problem was the lack of any advertisement for the musical adventure or the fact that the title was available in the Xbox Game Pass catalog.
The situation was ended by Aaron Greenberg, who confirmed that according to Microsoft and the players themselves – Hi-Fi Rush is a hit:
Hi-Fi RUSH is a hit with us and our players in terms of all key measurements and expectations. We couldn’t be happier with what the Tango Gameworks team has delivered with this unexpected release.
What exactly determines success for an Xbox game these days?
Hi-Fi Rush afaik has no physical version, no marketing, no multiplayer…
If Xbox is pressuring ZeniMax to deliver sales of its games, maybe it shouldn’t put so much emphasis on Xbox Game Pass? What’s the goal here? https://t.co/ou4rDLxpXZ

Usually corporations do not comment on such rumors, but this time a representative of Microsoft decided to react quickly. This is certainly important given that Hi-Fi Rush has been hailed by many players as one of the biggest surprises of recent months, and many music fans hope that developers will continue to develop this young IP.
Tango Gameworks has not yet confirmed its next plans, but as you know, in April the developers released Ghostwire: Tokyo for Xbox Series X|S
