Overview
- Delisting coincides with the game’s 10th anniversary and the expiration of licenses for the core 65-song soundtrack.
- Downloadable songs will be removed on a rolling basis as each track reaches 10 years since release, but previously purchased DLC stays in owners’ libraries.
- Harmonix ended new Rock Band 4 DLC releases in January 2024 after years of weekly additions that built a large catalog.
- Players are rushing to buy remaining content before removal, reflecting broader concerns about digital preservation in licensed music games.
- Physical copies remain playable, and the studio—acquired by Epic Games in 2021—has since focused efforts on Fortnite Festival.
