Hello Rocksmith fans!
We knew it was coming but we are happy to see it anyway! On Wednesday night we got a drop of under 20 songs but 14 of them are Green Day!
New to the library is Warning and Hitchin’ a Ride
One thing that differs between Rocksmith+ and the Rocksmith 2014 DLC is that all the songs are uncensored 🙀 (won’t someone think of the children?!)
Note: We have noticed that X-Kid is missing in some regions.
Speaking of Rocksmith 2014 thanks to the Stranger Things Soundtrack we have Every Breath You Take in the library again!
We also received a new round of covers including Megadeth’s Hangar 18, Snow Patrol Chasing Cars, Van Halen’s Eruption, and (in certain regions) Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Sweet Home Alabama!
Piano didn’t get much this time around and most of it seems like Guitar as Piano type stuff but six songs ain’t too bad if you factor in Sweet Home Alabama.

There was yet ANOTHER video released which hints at some other upcoming releases in 2024 👀
Confirmation of The Doobie Brothers, Foreigner, more Deftones (from White Pony) and Distburbrbed!
Can we hope for more Paramore as well?
a Cover of Tornado of Souls…
I’m sure some people are going to find a cover of Cherub Rock real funny…

See you in 2024, and Merry Christmas + Happy Holidays to all!
I still don’t like the subscription idea. I know netflix, disney, etc. all do it, and I don’t like it there either. I’m old school where I want my music, video, games and apps locally installed where I don’t have to be dependent on an internet connection or being tracked/spied on.
Looks like the trial is new users only. Good on you @SkyMoose for staying positive, the rest of these comments sure getting toxic. Calling RS+ a money grab is weird, but pretending like the software doesn’t have tons of room for improvement is just as weird IMO. Having another record label on board and piano support is a huge step in the right direction for rocksmith, glad to see a lot of what’s teased for 2024. But the game’s framework/menus still need a lot of work, I probably won’t ever pay until they fix a lot of quality of life things.
To name a few big issues present as of the 30-day trial I played last month:
I could go on but this is already a big post, it’s not that far fetched for someone to be disappointed with it RS+ when all the things I just mentioned aren’t issues in the previous game.
RS+ certainly fixable someday, and I hope they stick with it and keep improving it. But the amount songs I want to play and fighting the menus to play them compared to RS2014 just hasn’t held my attention for more than maybe a week out of 67 days of free trial they’ve given me so far.
Nothing more than a money grab to help unsuspecting people move on from the original Rocksmith…..I honestly don’t think they could add enough songs, covers or otherwise, to make me switch……
>Nothing more than a money grab to help unsuspecting people move on from the original Rocksmith
I also hate when companies provide content to gain customers, it’s such a money grab
Shut up boomer. Are you going to explain why you are a hater?
Explain yourself now!
Wow! So many additions right at the end of the year and some great ones to look forward to! Finally going to be hitting Rocksmith daily again!
