It’s now been almost four years to the day since Spotify promised to introduce a new HiFi tier offering lossless HD audio by the end of 2021. To date, nothing has materialized, other than lots of rumors about what else a high-end tier might contain to keep up with the likes of Apple Music, Amazon Music Unlimited and Tidal, which all already offer lossless audio.
The most recent official acknowledgement came in a 2024 earnings call, when CEO Daniel Ek confirmed that Spotify Deluxe was in the works later in the year. True to form, it missed that deadline, but a new report from Bloomberg suggests something may finally arrive in 2025 — and it actually sounds quite exciting.
