With the return of Rock Band just around the corner, Harmonix has made the legacy Rock Band DLC available for download. Those who want to get a head start and start downloading tracks they previously purchased for previous versions of the game can do so ahead of the October 6th launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
One big caveat though, you’ll have to download each DLC track or pack individually as there is currently no way to download all your existing tracks. You’ll only be able to download for the same console family as well, meaning, if you purchased tracks for the PlayStation 3 and have an Xbox One, you won’t be able to download them to the Xbox One.
In addition, Rock Band DLC has been on sale at 50% off for some time now, but as of October 6th the price of all single tracks – legacy DLC included – will be $1.99 per track. Legacy DLC track packs will also return to full price.
How To Download Legacy Rock Band DLC on Xbox One
- Turn on your Xbox One.
- Sign in to the Xbox Live Gamertag that you originally purchased your legacy Rock Band DLC on.
- Navigate to the Xbox Live Marketplace titled “Store”.
- Select “Search”.
- Search for “Rock Band 4“
- You will see multiple products for the title. Select the game “Rock Band 4“.
- Navigate to “Add-Ons” and select the ellipses (the big “…” at the bottom of the featured Add-Ons) to view all Add-Ons.
- Select the individual Add-On you want to download. There will be a monetary value on an individual Add-On if you did not previously purchase the product. If you purchased it previously, select “Install”.
- The download should automatically begin. Once completed, you should see that where the “Install” prompt used to be on this individual Add-On, it will now say “Installed”.
- There will be no update to notify you that this content has completed downloading. There is no visible way to confirm if your DLC has been installed to your console until you first launch Rock Band 4 on that console. The content should be on your hard drive, but will remain invisible until you first play Rock Band 4.
- Repeat step 8 for as many Add-Ons as you would like downloaded to your console.
- And that’s it! You can now play this content in Rock Band 4 when the game is loaded into your system!
