when is lossless coming to spotify

Spotify’s lossless audio (sometimes called “Spotify Lossless” or the old “HiFi” tier) has already started rolling out, but it is not available to every user or every country yet.

Quick Scoop

  • Spotify began rolling out Lossless to Premium subscribers around September 10, 2025.
  • The rollout covers 50+ markets (including US, UK, Australia and several European countries) and was planned to continue through October 2025 and beyond.
  • Many users in supported regions already see a “Lossless” / FLAC option in audio quality settings; others are still waiting due to staggered deployment and market limitations.
  • Where available, lossless is included in the regular Premium plan , not a separate HiFi subscription.

So, “when is lossless coming to Spotify”?

It has already “come” in the sense that the feature exists and is live in a lot of markets for Premium users. However:

  • If you’re in one of the announced regions, you’ll get it once it reaches your account and you see the higher “Lossless” quality option in Settings → Audio Quality.
  • If you’re outside those initial 50+ markets, Spotify has not published firm public dates; users in some countries are still posting that lossless “is not available” despite the global announcement.

Forum/real‑world chatter

Public forum discussions and megathreads show a mix of experiences:

  • Some users in countries like Australia say they quietly discovered lossless just by checking audio settings, with no in‑app popup.
  • Others (for example in parts of Latin America) report that, even after the promised October window, lossless still doesn’t appear for them and support replies are vague.
  • On Reddit and similar forums, people are generally excited that there’s finally a true FLAC / CD‑quality option, but annoyed about the slow, uneven rollout and missing regions.

What you can do right now

  1. Check if your account has it
    • Open Spotify → Settings → Audio Quality.
    • Look for a “Lossless” or FLAC‑labeled option above “Very high”.
  1. Make sure your setup supports it
    • You need Spotify Premium and up‑to‑date apps (mobile/desktop) for lossless streaming.
  1. If you still don’t see it
    • It probably means your market or account batch hasn’t been enabled yet , even though the global rollout started in late 2025.
 * There is **no precise, universally published date** for when every remaining region will have it; timelines are still somewhat vague.

TL;DR

  • “When is lossless coming to Spotify?” → It launched and started rolling out to Premium users in many countries in September 2025 , with expansion continuing since then.
  • Whether you have it depends on your country and account rollout wave ; if the “Lossless” option is missing from audio quality settings, you’re likely still in the waiting queue.
