“No messy generation transition this time, it’s the same DLC!” “All DLC currently available for download will also work on new consoles,” said Harmonix. This time around, that won’t be a problem. But for a number of reasons, including the vagaries of music licensing agreements, the process was complicated and had a lot of caveats. Rock Band 4, which launched in October 2015 on PS4 and Xbox One, allowed players to carry forward songs from the Rock Band titles on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 (as well as additional tracks they’d purchased).

Harmonix has always described the Rock Band franchise as a platform, and it appears that Microsoft’s and Sony’s commitments to it-just-works backward compatibility have made it easier for the studio to uphold that philosophy.

“We believe previously supported instruments should work as expected.” “ Rock Band 4 and all DLC will work on the next generation consoles day 1,” said Harmonix. The Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 are backward-compatible with pretty much the entire Xbox One and PlayStation 4 libraries, respectively - and rhythm game fans will be delighted to hear that Rock Band 4 is included in the list on both next-generation consoles, developer Harmonix announced Tuesday.
