Update: Harmonix has updated its support article to clarify that you only need to have bought Rock Band Blitz - and not installed it as well - in order to export its songs to Rock Band 4. In addition to the 25 songs that come with it, any existing Rock Band tracks that are downloaded to your console’s hard drive will work with the game. Rock Band Blitz is currently available for $14.99 on PS3 and Xbox 360. As the fourth main installment and the 7th major console installment in the Rock Band franchise, it was released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on October 6. It’s also worth noting that if you’re planning to buy the game just to export its soundtrack to Rock Band 4, you can check out this support article from Harmonix for full details on the process.

Harmonix said the game will not be made backward compatible in the future, which is likely due to licensing issues. Now that Rock Band Blitz is going away, so is the chance of it becoming playable on Xbox One. Harmonix is also selling all of those tracks individually in the Rock Band Music Store, and the studio said “those versions will remain up until further notice.” And as always, if you’ve bought Rock Band Blitz, you’ll still be able to download the game after it disappears. As long as you’ve purchased the game before it is delisted, you’ll be able to export its full 25-song soundtrack - which includes bangers like “Jessie’s Girl” by Rick Springfield and “One Week” by Barenaked Ladies - for use in Rock Band 4 at no extra cost.
