Harmonix has announced on their Discord they’re delisting Rock Band 4 after a decade of the popular music-rhythm game being available.
Rock Band 4 is getting delisted this month, on October 5th, coinciding with the expiration of the game’s core soundtrack. Because of this, the game will be removed from the Xbox and PlayStation digital stores.
As with any delisting – if you own the game and / or its downloadable content before the delisting, you’ll own it forever – provided the digital storefronts don’t get shut down in the future. If you’re looking to get the game or its DLC before they’re gone, head on over to the Microsoft Store or the PlayStation Store.
Rock Band 4 was originally released back on October 6th, 2015 for both Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The game offered backwards compatibility with peripherals and DLC from the previous game and previous console generation, and was the final main entry in the series.
Here’s the full message from the team on the shut down:
Hey Everyone, On Sunday, October 5, 2025, Rock Band 4 turns 10. What a ride it’s been.
With this milestone comes one big change: the original licenses for the core soundtrack are expiring. Because of that, Rock Band 4 will be removed from the PlayStation and Xbox digital stores. If you already own the game, nothing changes — you’ll keep full access and still be able to download the game and songs to any new, compatible devices. The same applies to Downloadable Content (DLC): songs will come down as they hit the 10-year mark, but anything you’ve purchased will remain in your library.
We’re so grateful for the passion this community has shown. From the team, it’s been a special experience to serve you with Rivals challenges, a super deep DLC library and a best in class band sim. If you’ve been meaning to grab a few last songs, now’s the time. Thanks again,
The Rock Band Team
