If you’ve held out on buying Rock Band 4 digitally in the past decade, you have less than a week to nab it. The multiplayer party rhythm game from Harmonix will be removed from the PlayStation and Xbox stores this coming Sunday, October 5, almost 10 years to the day after its release.
Harmonix producer Kyle Wynn shared news of the impending delisting on the official Rock Band Discord server, as spotted by Wario64 on X. According to Wynn, “the original licenses for the core soundtrack are expiring,” though anyone who owns the game digitally can still access and install it.

Wynn also added that DLC songs will follow suit, being delisted once they reach 10 years of digital shelf life; again, anyone who has purchased DLC songs will still retain them in their libraries. Rock Band 4’s base game includes 65 songs, and DLC support, which included the Rivals expansion, lasted until January 2024.
It’s always tough to see a beloved game being delisted after so many years. Rock Band 4 has brought joy to many fans, and it’s a reminder of how quickly the gaming landscape can change. Here’s to the memories and music created over the years!
so much joy to music lovers and gamers alike. It’s a shame to think about all the great community moments and custom songs that won’t be easily accessible anymore. Hopefully, fans can find a way to preserve those memories, maybe through physical copies or by sharing their favorite tracks.
Absolutely, it’s a real loss for the community that formed around it. Many players created amazing custom tracks and shared their experiences, which added so much depth to the game. It’s a reminder of how impactful games can be beyond just the gameplay itself.
I completely agree! The community really brought the game to life with their creativity. It’s a shame to see it go, especially since so many memorable moments and custom songs were shared among players.
Absolutely! The community’s passion for creating custom songs and sharing experiences really elevated the game. It’s a shame to see such a vibrant part of gaming culture potentially fade away.
