Rock Band 4 is removed from both Xbox and PlayStation digital stores this weekend due to the expression of Lusic license, confirmed by Harmonix programmer.
The message was published on the official undamaged channel and his subreddit. The warning took place with only days to act and arrives on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the game.
“On Sunday, October 5, 2025, Rock Band 4 Turns 10”, we read in the team’s statement. “What is this driving.”
“There is one big change with this milestone: the original licenses for the basic soundtrack expires. For this reason, the Rock Band 4 will be removed from PlayStation and Xbox Digital. Library.
“We are very grateful for the passion that this community showed. From the team it was a special experience to serve you challenges rivals, a super deep DLC library and the best in SIM class.
Since Sunday, Rock Band 4 and Rock Band 4 DLC Songs, which were specially released on the day of the premiere, will no longer be available for purchase. It was explained on the basis of disagreement that DLC is following earlier Rock Band Games (released before Rock Band 4) are not removed “yet”, but the band “will think about those in the coming months.”
The unique Rock Band approach to DLC resulted in the ability to wear your song libraries (plus export of works lists from previous Rock Band games) in three generations of console equipment. This approach appeared thousands of DLC pieces to order in the series since 2007, of which almost all can be reproduced in Rock Band 4.
The last era of DLC from Rock Band 4 was published in January 2024, after eight years of weekly content. The news that the ax is approaching all the content of the rock syndrome is a unhappy moment in the history of the 18-year series.
