help Rock Band 4 FAQ
Can Rock Band 4 use instruments from older Rock Band games?
Many PlayStation 3 instruments work with the PlayStation 4 version, while Xbox 360 instruments require a compatible legacy adapter on Xbox One. Compatibility varies by controller model, and some adapters have become difficult to find.
What did the Rock Band Rivals expansion add?
Rock Band Rivals added the Rivals competitive mode and Rockudrama, a campaign presented as a mock documentary. Harmonix released the expansion in 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Can songs purchased for earlier Rock Band games be played in Rock Band 4?
A large portion of previously purchased downloadable songs can be redownloaded within the same console family and account ecosystem. Disc exports and individual tracks depend on licensing, so not every older song remains available.
Does Rock Band 4 include keyboard or online multiplayer?
Rock Band 4 supports guitar, bass, drums and vocals but dropped the keyboard part introduced in Rock Band 3. Online synchronous multiplayer was added after launch, while local bands can play together on one console.
