Rhythm Heaven Groove is the top-selling game in Japan, holding the number one spot in Famitsu's rankings for a fourth consecutive week, with 945,929 total copies sold as of the August 24-30 chart. The game launched on July 2 with 30 mini-games and 20 remix stages.
Rhythm Heaven Groove arrived on July 2 and immediately took the top spot in Japan's weekly game rankings, selling 393,378 copies in the June 29-July 5 window. The rest of that top ten was dominated by Nintendo titles, with Minecraft and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe among the long-running games in the top twenty.
The debut was not a spike that faded. The game stayed at number one through its fifth and sixth weeks, selling 55,827 copies in the August 3-9 chart and then rising to 83,536 copies the following week for a total of 873,839. Those two charts also brought Happinet's Beast of Reincarnation to number two on PS5 with 43,010 copies and placed Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Deluxe Edition at number fifteen.
A review published in August described the game as a return to the series' classic structure, dropping the story mode of Megamix. It carries 30 mini-games played twice each and 20 remix stages, a larger volume than earlier entries, and its grading system is more forgiving than past titles, which the reviewer said may be for the best. Some mini-games reuse mechanics from earlier entries.
