Hello Rocksmith fans!
Well, you know that we’ve been speculating about this since 2022 and here it is! It’s Piano time!
Yes, on Monday at around 11:30 PM EDT the Title Update hit Rocksmith+ and with it came a separate instrument containing 300 songs (varies in regions as usual) and a full lesson suite!
Hopefully more to come!
This was all released many hours before any semblance of a Press Release, but here’s what we have…
Rocksmith+, the award-winning music-learning service, is expanding from guitar learning with the addition of a new instrument: piano. You can start learning piano for free during the Rocksmith+ piano beta, available now for PC. Register now for the piano PC beta* – the first 5,000 new Rocksmith+ users who register will receive one month free of Rocksmith+ and all current subscribers automatically get access to the piano beta.

Like Rocksmith+’s guitar learning features, the piano beta lets you play hit songs from popular artists, get personalized real-time feedback, and enjoy practice tools that you can control. The Rocksmith+ piano PC beta sign up period for new users ends on November 10. The full piano experience will launch this winter.
Rocksmith+ also just added top hit songs from Coldplay, Misfits, Fear Factory, Lily Allen, and more to its growing library of songs. No copycats or soundalikes – only the songs you love. You can start learning acoustic, electric, or bass guitar on Rocksmith+ by downloading the app for iOS, Android or PC. If you’re looking for the best guitar tips, tricks, and techniques, sign up here to get a free ultimate beginner’s guide to learning guitar.
For more on Rocksmith+, read about the new music partnership with Warner Music Group, learn more about its approach to accessibility, and check out the official site.
*Terms, conditions, and territorial restrictions apply. Registering for the Piano PC beta does not guarantee access or a 1-month free trial offer. Only new users are eligible for the 1-month Rocksmith+ free trial. Free trial automatically starts once a user is given access to the Piano PC Beta. Free trial does not auto renew into a subscription. One free trial per Ubisoft account; offer available for a limited time.
Later on that day we found out the full list of songs (and of course the awesome stuff they added to Guitar/Bass we will cover tomorrow).

That’s a good amount of songs!
There’s also some different ways to customize the noteway (which also apply to Guitar/Bass clarity)
So there we have it, our first taste of Rocksmith+ Piano! Have you signed up for the free trial to check it out (if you have a MIDI out keyboard, you should!). Or have you even resubscribed or subscribed for the first time? Let us know!
I wish I could afford Rocksmith+, or that it was even available in my current country of residence. The monthly sub prices it way out of my budget when converted to my local currency. I would 100% buy a Piano Rocksmith, but sadly that isn’t an option.
I have been very impressed with this beta, worked far better than the bass and guitar beta. The song selection is decent for a first release, with some true piano classics and plenty of good pop and rock options as well. I have put in 67 plays in the first few weeks and I will definitely continue to play and learn through the piano portion of this game.
A great feature in the riff repeater is the ability to practice one hand at a time.
Looking forward to the release of song additions to the piano libaray.
