We Love You Idaho! Rock Band 4 Gets Forever Retired

Idaho lovers of the fourth installment of a popular video game for PlayStation and Xbox will no longer have the opportunity to purchase it through digital stores due to licensing.

What do the bands Aerosmith, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black Sabbath (RIP Ozzy), and Foo Fighters all have in common? If you said they all ROCK!, you'd be correct, but that's not the answer I was looking for.

On October 5, 2025, Rock Band 4 was forever delisted due to expired music licenses, according to IGN. If you already own the game, then you can continue to shred until you DIE! If you're one of the unlucky who has wanted it for a while but didn't pull the trigger, then you're probably in need of a somber, four-minute guitar solo right about now.
