Rock Band 4 Aerosmith Hits Pack 02 Now Available On The Xbox Store
Despite being one of the more popular video games genres during the past console generation, rhythm games have been out of the spotlight in the past few years, with the Guitar Hero and Rock Band series going on hiatus. Both series, however, have ended their hiatus this year, with Rock Band 4 having been released in all regions earlier this month and with Guitar Hero Live launching tomorrow on old and new consoles.
If you’re enjoying Rock Band 4 on Xbox One and you’re looking for some new songs to add to your library, you will be happy to know that a new song pack is now available for purchase on the Xbox Store. The new pack is the Rock Band 4 Aerosmith Hits Song Pack 02, featuring Rats In The Cellar, Eat The Rich, Cryin, Dude Looks Like A Lady, Love In An Elevator, and Seasons Of Wither, some of the best songs from the band. The Rock Band 4 Aerosmith Hits Song Pack 02 is now available for purchase for $9.99.
Rock Band 4 is Harmoix’s return to the series. The game has been announced earlier this year and features the same core gameplay features that have made the series popular. Rock Band 4 also sports new social interactions as well as features that let players improvise more such as the freestyle solos on guitar and freeform melodies in multi-part vocals.
Rock Band 4 also offers backwards compatibility with content and hardware from previous entries of the series, allowing those playing on Xbox One to play DLC songs from previous entries purchased for Xbox 360 and those playing on PlayStation 4 to use songs purchased for the PlayStation 3 games. The older songs will come with the same new features included in the new Rock Band 4 songs.
Rock Band 4 is now available in all regions on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. More news on the game’s upcoming DLC packs will be coming soon so stay tuned for all the latest news.
New World Interactive, the developer of the Insurgency series of tactical first-person shooters, has laid off an unknown number of employees as part of Embracer Group’s comprehensive restructuring plan.
Saber Interactive, which acquired New World in 2020, told Eurogamer that the studio had not closed. However, it confirmed an unknown number of layoffs.
Embracer says it is “actively working to fill existing open roles” with impacted employees and will provide severance packages. “Saber also assures that development will continue on Insurgency: Sandstorm, as well as on unannounced future projects,” it said.
Over 900 employees were laid off in an “agonizing” but “necessary” process. As always, we hope all victims recover.
Sony wants non-console owners to access its content beyond its PlayStation-walled garden. This strategy has been slowly implemented: the company has commissioned TV and movie adaptations of its biggest franchises, ported select software to the PC, and launched a mobile gaming division.
In an interview with Nikkei, head Hideaki Nishino explained how this strategy can boost console sales: We want to use movies and dramas to get non-gamers to try PlayStation games. Sales of The Last of Us increased during the live-action drama.
When HBO’s adaptation aired, our The Last of Us content skyrocketed, so we can understand its impact. As a PlayStation fan site, we support this strategy because we want to reach as many people as possible, so if Sony can appeal to non-console owners, that’s a win-win.
More PlayStation users is better, in our opinion.
PowerWash Simulator is one of this month’s PS Plus Essentials, but before you start scrubbing, check out the PS Store. The game has been well supported on PS5 and PS4 with free DLC packs based on Square Enix titles since its release at the start of the year.
Free Final Fantasy VII and Tomb Raider expansions let you clean Croft Manor and Seventh Heaven. The free DLC packs add 10 levels, and the paid ones add more.
Two more Back to the Future and SpongeBob SquarePants expansions cost £6.49 or $7.99 each. You can then scrub the Bikini Bottom and the DeLorean.
The Midgar Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator was another reason to use the cleaning kit. “It doesn’t add much, but getting close to FF7’s props and environments is fun. It offers a fresh take on the beloved title that will please both sides of this collaboration.”
