We were a bit behind on the announcing of the DLC this week, but it’s finally here! Will it be another week of singles, or could we be seeing the DLC debuts of U2 or Van Halen? Let’s find out!

Iggy Pop – Lust for Life
Robert Palmer – Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)

The first “Rock Band 4” patch is out now and acts as an interim patch for the much larger update coming in December. One of the biggest features in the new patch is the ability to have our created characters as stand-ins in our band. I tested it out the feature and it worked fine. The update also brought along with it 5.1 surround crowd audio support as well as a fix for the PS4 streaming issue. Check out the full list of notes below.

Session musician screen now displays custom characters as well as the prefab characters
