Rock Band 4 is set to be removed from sale on its tenth anniversary due to the expiration of its licensing agreements

On October 5, 2025, Rock Band 4 will be removed from sales as its song licenses expire after a decade.

Harmonix community manager Kyle Wynn, addressing the game's Discord fans, announced the delisting from PlayStation and Xbox stores on the game's tenth anniversary. However, those who purchased the game will retain full access and can continue downloading the game and acquired songs to new systems.

"Hey everyone, on Sunday, October 5, 2025, Rock Band 4 turns 10. What a ride it’s been," Wynn stated (as noted by VGC). "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.”

Harmonix ended Rock Band DLC releases after 16 years back in January 2024.
