Rock Band 3 Export for Rock Band 4 Available Now

By Luke Reilly

The fan-requested Rock Band 3 track export for Rock Band 4 is available now on PlayStation 4 in North America, plus Xbox One. The export should be available for PS4 players in European territories next week (“based on testing and submission dependencies” notes Harmonix).

Those players who are eligible to purchase the USD$15 license key must log into the profile they played Rock Band 3 on, navigate to “Get More Songs”, scroll down to the new tab (“Exports”), select “Rock Band 3”, and select “RB3 Disc Export Pack”.

All 83 on-disc tracks from the Rock Band 3 setlist will export. Players can only export Rock Band 3 through the in-game Rock Band Music Store in Rock Band 4. You will not be able to find the key through the first-party stores or online.

For a fee Rock Band players have been able to export the tracks from all previous Rock Band discs (with the exception of The Beatles: Rock Band, which was never enabled for export) in order to maintain one central music library, compatible with the latest Rock Band game. Harmonix has committed to bringing these exports to this generation from the PS3 and Xbox 360 console cycle. Harmonix announced Rock Band 3 would be the first such export in late October.

Harmonix is still working on supporting previous Rock Band exports in Rock Band 4. These will be made available in 2016.

Rock Band 4’s first major update arrived earlier this week, bringing with it the new and unforgiving Brutal Mode.

Luke is Games Editor at IGN's Sydney office, where the last Rock Band 4 session ended at 2am (after nine consecutive hours). You can chat to him on Twitter @MrLukeReilly.
