All DLC And Instruments For Rock Band 4 Will Work With PS5 And Xbox Series X/S

 Harmonix has confirmed that Rock Band 4 and all of its DLC will work on next gen consoles at launch. Past instruments will work as well, though it looks like some more testing on functionality is still ongoing. 

"Our team has been diligently testing a bunch of old gear on the new systems to make sure everything works exactly as it does today," explains the studio. "When you break open those crisp new consoles, you should be able to connect your existing, compatible peripherals and play Rock Band 4 right out of the box."

Here is the full list of gear tested that are confirmed to work on next gen systems: 

• Mad Catz RB4 Fender™ Stratocaster™ Guitar (Xbox)
• Mad Catz RB4 Drums (Xbox)
• PDP RB4 Fender Jaguar™ Guitar (Xbox)
• PDP RB4 Drums (Xbox)
• Mad Catz RB4 Fender Stratocaster Guitar (PS4)

Previous adaptors for the Xbox players will also still work as well. As for save data and DLC, the studio confirms that all DLC currently available will transfer over with no issues, as well as save data. 

Harmonix also confirmed that online multiplayer will be crossgen compatible in terms of consoles, so PlayStation 5 players can play with PlayStation 4 players and Xbox Series X/S players can play with Xbox One players.

Rock Band Network Coming To Rock Band 4, But Not In The Way You Think

Harmonix announced that they would be bringing back select songs from the Rock Band Network to Rock Band 4 on modern consoles.

The Rock Band Network was conceived as a way to increase the number of songs available to download for Rock Band without massively scaling up development resources. It allowed content creators to author, peer review, and upload their own tracks to the network and get things up faster than if Harmonix were doing it themselves. Creators split the revenue between themselves, Harmonix, and either XBL or PSN.

Rock Band Network is returning to the series with Rock Band 4, but unlike with Rock Band DLC, players are not able to carry over previous purchases to the newer game. Harmonix says that it came down to either having not being able to bring back any songs or starting fresh on purchases.

Players who are hoping for specific RBN songs to come back can request them through the Rock Band Request page. 

As a huge Rock band fan, I’m happy to see RBN make a return. Even if it’s not the way I hope it would have. RBN would’ve have made some what of a proper return on Rock Band 4 for PC, but the games Fig campaign didn’t meet its goal. My biggest question out of all of this is how many songs are we getting out of this ? Will this be the top 10 RBN songs ? Or will they just add an RBN song to the 2 weekly released DLC songs ? Thoughts ?
