Harmonix has announced that Rock Band 4 is set to be delisted from the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store, with the announcement coming just ahead of the game’s 10th anniversary this weekend.
Speaking on the Rock Band 4 Discord, community boss Kyle Wynn revealed that the game is being delisted due to song licensing having expired, as Rock Band 4’s core soundtrack was licensed for a decade. With 10 years officially being marked on October 5, the studio has no choice but to delisted the game. However, if you already own the game, you will still be able to keep access to Rock Band 4 and any DLC to download it in the future to any ‘new, compatible devices.’
