Released back in 2022 only for the Switch, Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is finally coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
Most of the recent Taiko no Tatsujin releases were for the Switch and smartphones, though PlayStation and Xbox did get a game each. For the PS4, there’s “Drum Session!” which was released in 2018. Meanwhile, there’s “The Drum Master!” which was released in early 2022 for the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via the Xbox Store.
Finally though, players will be able to buy Rhythm Festival on November 7 for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. This also marks the first proper Taiko no Tatsujin release on Steam.
