Everyone and their pet 808 (cat) was a bit surprised that Tango Gameworks and Bethesda revealed and released Hi-Fi Rush on the same day (25 January 2023).

Well, in any case, Hi-Fi Rush is out now, and there are dozens of achievements to complete on PC and Xbox.
This guide outlines all achievements for Hi-Fi Rush (including secret ones) and descriptions of what is required to complete them, so let's jump in and sync with the music.
