History

Ubisoft announced the Rocksmith+ subscription service at Ubisoft Forward during E3 2021.[2] Rocksmith+ was initially set to launch in Fall 2021 for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, and on Android and iOS at a later date.[3]

A Rocksmith+ PC closed beta ran in July 2021.[4] Beta reviews were generally positive while noting a desire for more songs and improved features, and cautious optimism waiting to see what the final product will be and how the song library would expand over time.[5][6][7] The beta library had roughly 500 songs, with the expectation of increasing to thousands at launch.[8] Ubisoft says that “millions more” songs will be added in the future.[9] In September 2021, Ubisoft announced that the Rocksmith+ release date would be delayed until 2022, to make changes based on beta user feedback.[10]

Overview

Rocksmith+ is a follow-up to the original Rocksmith franchise, with a major change to a subscription-based music education service.[11] Using their own instruments, users play along to songs in the Rocksmith+ library, with genres including rock, pop, hip hop, country, Latin and R&B.[12] Players can connect an acoustic, electric, or bass guitar via a special USB jack (called the Rocksmith Real Tone cable), audio interface, or via a smartphone’s microphone with the use of the free Rocksmith+ Connect mobile app.[13] Players can also use Rocksmith Workshop to create and add their own guitar arrangements.[14]
