Hi-Fi Rush has received one "final patch" to address some lingering issues.

Microsoft shut down developer Tango Gameworks alongside three other studios last week, but the team's beloved rhythm action still got another patch earlier today, presumably from a skeleton crew left over from Tango's staff. 

"Thank you for your continued support," an announcement tweet reads. "We're working to release the physical edition of Hi-Fi Rush with our partners at Limited Run Games, as well as a final patch to address some minor issues releasing later today."

The game's very last update fixes about a dozen bugs across every platform, while also adjusting vending machine prices to "reflect local currency conversion," which is just another reflection of the team's endless attention to detail. You can read the full patch notes here

Hi-Fi Rush also includes a Streamer Mode featuring original beats that could feasibly replace the licensed songs when the time comes, but without Tango Gameworks existing, there's no guarantee that that will happen. To Microsoft's credit, though, the company did work to return both Alan Wake and Quantum Break to storefronts after their music licenses expired, though those games' original studio Remedy is still kicking.

A Hi-Fi Rush developer hit back at the Xbox executive who called for more award-winning games with their own awards: “Not enough?”
