Hi-Fi Rush Steam player count skyrockets after Microsoft closes developer Tango Gameworks

On May 7, an internal email was leaked in which Xbox confirmed its decision to shut down four studios under the Bethesda publishing umbrella. Tango Gameworks, the studio behind Hi-Fi Rush, was among those affected. Soon after, the game’s player count spiked on Steam with fans paying their respects.

Many developers and players are still shocked by Xbox’s decision regarding the studio. Phil Spencer previously said the studio was performing OK and talked up Microsoft’s acquisition of Tango via their purchase of Bethesda, so players are (understandably) feeling like the massive company hasn’t been exactly truthful with them.
