The export fee is $15
People who playedRock Band 3can expect theirRock Band 4library to grow significantly in the coming months. SinceRock Band 4‘s October 6 launch, Harmonix has been at work trying to bring old content onto the new platforms. The most recent game is the first up.
Harmonix wrote apost on its websitedetailing the going-ons. If all goes according to plan,Rock Band 3will be able to be imported toRock Band 4on December 8 when an update gets pushed. The caveats are that you ownand have playeda copy ofRock Band 3, and that you pay a $15 export fee.
The export fee isn’t new toRock Band, but it has steadily increased over the years. The cost to export the firstRock Band‘s tracks intoRock Band 2was $5; it was $10 to export fromRock Band 2toRock Band 3.
An interesting aside in Harmonix’s note is that the developer is soon losing the rights to sellRock Band 3. That agreement comes to an end on October 30, at which point the game won’t be sold digitally anymore. Of course, you can still pick up a physical copy at any retailer that’s still carrying stock.
Harmonix seemingly has no intention of stopping afterRock Band 3. It’s also working on exporting the otherRock Bandtitles intoRock Band 4(apart fromThe Beatles: Rock Band). There’s no word on when any of that is expected to happen, because it’s not a given that it ever will happen. Harmonix also released this chart to help clear up any confusion because digital rights ownership is tricky. Let’s take it one step at a time, and that first step isRock Band 3on December 8.
