Guitars and Drums still require the actual instrument controllers to play. On Playstation, you can buy a pre-RB4 song on either PS3 and PS4 and the entitlement will be granted on both platforms. If you buy it on Xbox One, it will ONLY entitle you to an RB4 copy. If you want to buy a song to play on both Rock Band 4 and the Xbox 360 (any DLC that came out during RB3 and previous), you need to buy the 360 version from the Xbox web store first. Rock Band Network songs purchases do NOT carry forward to Rock Band 4 for legal reasons, but Harmonix is porting select RBN songs to Rock Band 4 for purchase. If you bought official Rock Band DLC in the previous generation, as long as you have the SAME console family and the same account, you can play those purchases in Rock Band 4. I bought a bunch of Rock Band DLC in the last generation. Rivals is only required to download any free songs (with few exemptions). All DLC that has released for the Rock Band game since late 2015 only requires Rock Band 4’s base game. It’s pretty good and funny, but the Crew Rivals mode turned out to be a runaway hit within the community so it doesn’t get mentioned much. Rock Band Rivals also comes with the new “Rockumentary” mode, which is a campaign that parodies VH1’s Behind the Music.

It also comes with 25 additional free songs, so the asking price for Rivals is worth it alone for the song count it gives you. While Rivals was originally just this mode, Rivals is ALSO your online pass and is required to play online (online was added to Rock Band 4 after Rivals released). Each season rewards the Gold and above tiers with cosmetic items to equip and show off in online play. It adds a new Rivals mode where you can recruit up to 9 other people for your Crew and then fight up the leaderboards to promote your crew every season.Įvery season lasts 8 weeks, and you attempt to promote from Bronze to the highest tier, Bloodstone. Rock Band Rivals is an expansion to Rock Band 4 that was released a year after the original game came out. While you can expect this thread to mainly focus on Rock Band 4 and it’s expansion Rock Band Rivals, you can also discuss the previous Rock Band titles here.

Yes, Rock Band is still alive and getting weekly DLC. Search the Rock Band music store in-game or use rbdb.online
