How to turn on rhythm assist in Hi-Fi Rush

Since Hi-Fi Rush is an action-adventure game primarily based on rhythm, there are a couple of visual representations you’ll find in the game’s options that will help you follow the rhythm.

As Chai, you’ll have a companion hovering around your shoulder that will indicate the beat you’re hearing. To enable this companion, you’ll need to open your Options, then Accessibility, and under Gameplay, you’ll find Rhythm Visualization. There, you’ll be able to choose between three different visualizations of this metronome beat.

If you’re more of a visual person, you can toggle Rhythm Assist. This will show you the rhythm at the bottom of your screen. As default, this will be toggled off, and to turn it on you’ll need to press the View button on your controller or the Tab key on your keyboard.

Remember, Hi-Fi Rush’s environment and UI is vibrating with rhythm, trying to help you even more. But the game doesn’t want to punish you for missing a single beat. Instead, the game rewards you for hitting the combos and encourages you to stay in sync with the beat.
