Activision’s Guitar Hero Live will be losing an essential part of its game in December, its streaming music service “Guitar Hero TV,” which will cut down the game’s access to hundreds songs.
Launched in October 2015, Guitar Hero TV was a way for the game to avoid paid DLC to expand on the game’s song library. While some songs were made free via a rotation, other were accessible via microtransactions. While the streaming service was a great way to avoid downloading additional files to the system, the trade-off meant that its catalogue (which has been noted to stand at 484 songs) would only be around as long as Activision supports it.
To put in consideration, The Rock Band series has more than 2,000 downloadable songs since its release in 2007. The same is said with Ubisoft’s Rocksmith which as of June 6, 2018, there are 1,125 songs available. These songs cost money however when purchased, they can be kept on the device and played even after removed from the online store due to licensing issues, some even compatible with future versions of the game.
Once Guitar Hero TV shuts down its services, players will be reduced to the 42 songs available on the game’s disc when it launched. Activision’s notice to Guitar Hero Live players also mentioned that unlocked Premium Shows and the iOS version of the game – that has been pulled from the App Store – will not be playable as of December 1st. The game’s currency, Hero Cash, is still usable through November 30th, but will also be useless as of Dec 1st.
Guitar Hero Live launched back in October 2015 on PS3, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Wii U.
