Developer Harmonix confirmed that Rock Band 3‘s soundtrack will be coming to Rock Band 4 as part of a title update launching in December.

Returning Rock Band 3 players will need to pay a fee for the track-exporting process, which will add more than 80 songs to Rock Band 4‘s playable tracklist.

Rock Band 3, released in 2010 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo Wii, features 83 songs with playable guitar, bass, drum, vocal, and keyboard tracks. After applying a Rock Band 4 software update slated for release in December, players will be able to import these songs for play in the latest series entry for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Harmonix notes that returning players will need to have played Rock Band 3 on a previous hardware generation in order to be eligible for the offer. Rock Band 4‘s importing process on the PlayStation 4 requires players to have booted up a PS3 copy of Rock Band 3 while logged in to the PlayStation Network, whereas Xbox One players need to have played the Xbox 360 version of Rock Band 3 while connected to Xbox Live.

Once players have verified their prior experience with Rock Band 3, they can purchase a key to unlock the game’s tracklist in Rock Band 4 for $15. While the majority of gameplay these tracks offer will be accessible in Rock Band 4, keyboard tracks are not playable due to Harmonix dropping keyboard accessory support.

Currently, it’s unclear whether Rock Band 3‘s tracklist will transfer over to Rock Band 4 in its entirety. Exports for previous Rock Band games omitted songs that were no longer under license by Harmonix, leaving tracks like Metallica’s Enter Sandman and Journey’s Any Way You Want It unavailable in subsequent series entries.

Harmonix notes that tracks from other previous Rock Band games will also transfer over to Rock Band 4 at a later date. Currently, players can download purchased tracks featured in the 2012 series spinoff Rock Band Blitz. Support for exported tracks from Rock Band, Rock Band 2, Lego Rock Band and various track packs is also in the works.

Rock Band 3‘s exported tracklist will be available in Rock Band 4 following the launch of a multiplatform title update on December 8th.

Some of them lean into action, while others are more focused on survival, with a few options in between. The one thing they all share is that they're designed to make you feel like anything could be lurking around the next corner.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is also coming to PS4 and PS5

Team Cherry confirmed that the highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong will be on two more platforms at launch: PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
The official PlayStation Twitter account revealed the news this morning, adding PS4 and PS5 to a list of Hollow Knight: Silksong platforms that include PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is a sequel to Hollow Knight, one of the most critically acclaimed Metroidvania games of the past decade. Hollow Knight: Silksong follows Hornet, a character from the first game, as she explores the unfamiliar world of Pharloom. When Team Cherry announced the indie in February 2019, it only confirmed that the game was in development for PC, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch.
The game went MIA after an appearance at E3 2019, only for it to triumphantly reemerge as one of the first announcements of the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase in June 2022. Although we know that Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available through Xbox Game Pass on PC and Xbox platforms, it's good to know that those who prefer to try the game on Nintendo Switch or PlayStation will still have access to the game on day one.
Unfortunately, this PlayStation announcement did not come alongside a new trailer or release date confirmation, so Hollow Knight fans are still left eagerly awaiting its follow-up. Microsoft did claim that every game in its June showcase was "targeted to launch in the next 12 months," though, so it's very possible that Hollow Knight: Silksong will be released for PC, Mac, Linux, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S in the first half of 2023.

Multiplayer hit Mordhau slashes its way onto consoles later this year

A soldier walks away from a flame in Mordhau.

Mordhau, a visceral multiplayer game set in medieval times that was popular on PC, will finally make its way to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S later this year. In late 2019, Mordhau made the rounds as the hot and trendy new multiplayer game, like Splitgate and MultiVersus have recently. It stood out thanks to its large 64-player battles and combat that isn't afraid to be intricate, methodical, and quite brutal. While its player count dropped following its moment in the spotlight and the release of Chivalry II, Mordhau still has a dedicated fanbase that enjoys its tough but satisfying combat and medieval setting. Now, players on consoles finally have the chance to experience the game and could possibly revitalize general interest in Mordhau.
MORDHAU - Console Announcement
Triterinon, the Slovenian developer behind Mordhau, will still handle developer and publisher duties for the console ports. It will feature the same combat and modes players can find on PC, including the attack-and-defend mode Invasion, the territory-based Frontline, and cooperative Horde mode. The developer also confirmed that these new versions of Mordhau will feature crossplay. However, it is currently only going to work between console platforms, so new players aren't matched up against PC players that mastered the game over the past several years.
Although Triterinon did not share a specific date just yet, players can expect Mordhau to release for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S later this year. If you can't wait to play it, Mordhau is currently available on PC for $30.
