However, 2021 has been and gone with no addition of HiFi audio. Spotify HiFi release dateĪccording to a Five Things to Know About Spotify HiFi blog post, Spotify said the new service would be available in 2021 – and it will be available as an upgrade to Premium. In any case, Spotify said that the service would be available "later in 2021" when it was first announced, so an imminent release date certainly isn't out of the question.
While the video hasn't been verified as legitimate by Spotify, the fact it's leaked at all suggests that the new HiFi tier will be launching very soon. The shared images show the HiFi icon in the lower right corner of the app and includes text about music playing at 16-bit/44.1kHz quality – though the reader says music wasn't playing in lossless quality. While we've not been able to validate the images ourselves, the quality, font, variety and content suggests strongly that these are genuine. Recently, TechRadar had a reader email us photos of Spotify HiFi in use.
Ready to make the leap to lossless? Here's everything we know about Spotify HiFi. The silver lining? We have good reason to believe that Spotify HiFi songs will be available to save and download to your devices for offline listening, which means you should be able to take your new lossless music library with you anywhere. Spotify hasn’t said exactly how much the service will cost just yet, it sounds like it’s going to be more than the basic Spotify Premium price of $9.99 / £9.99 / AU$11.99 per month and there’s no guarantee that every song in the entire Spotify catalog will have a HiFi version available. Unfortunately, even when Spotify HiFi does release it will only be available in “select markets” to start.
