Rock Band 4 won't get any more DLC because we're living in Fortnite's world now

Rock Band 4 never made it to PC. Developer Harmonix said in 2015 that it was uncertain whether there was a sufficient audience for the game on PC, and then in 2016 it proved that worry valid by launching a crowdfunding campaign for a PC version that barely achieved half of its $1.5 million goal. But none of that matters now anyway, because Harmonix announced today that January 25 will be the end of the road for Rock Band 4 DLC releases.

Harmonix put out a lot of music for Rock Band 4 over the years: Nearly 3,000 songs, and more than 3,000 if you include game soundtracks. And to be clear, those songs won't be going away: Product manager Daniel Sussman said live services for Rock Band 4 will continue as usual, and "you can play the songs you own within Rock Band 4 for as long as you like."
