Hi-Fi RUSH is a very well-received action-platformer and rhythm brawler that was surprise released by Tango Gameworks and Bethesda Softworks (members of the Xbox family) on Jan. 25, 2023. Just past a week after its release, the title has now been Verified to run great on Valve's handheld console, the powerful, PC-like Steam Deck.

Of course, players were already enjoying Hi-Fi RUSH on Steam Deck, and handheld players may be contributing to the game's ongoing place in Steam's bestsellers list, but this badge guarantees the game is compatible with the handheld.

As one of the best games of the year already, Hi-Fi RUSH is an easy pick among the best Steam Deck games you can play.

Hi-Fi RUSH is unbelievably awesome fun, and it's now available on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PCs, Xbox and PC Game Pass, and Xbox Cloud Gaming. Of course, it's also available on the Linux-powered Steam Deck. Windows Central's full review of Hi-Fi RUSH is coming very soon.
