[cheiften98]

i found a video of someone playing http://store.steampowered.com/app/222093/Rocksmith__Kansas__Carry_On_Wayward_Son/

on rocksmith 2014. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lcbr8Q4kNi0
does the dlc just work on the new rocksmith or how is he doing this please.

if you want to play those DLCs which were used on the old rocksmith, you need to buy and install a rocksmith 2014 tool to play it on rocksmith 2014.
after installing the tool, you will be able to play all the DLCs on the new one.

Hopefully this is a helpful comment :)

Not anymore! They patched Rocksmith 2014 a while ago so that you don't need anything special to play old DLC.

You only need the Import Tool if you want to use the on-disc songs from the original Rocksmith.

if you buy dlc for the first rocksmith it will appear in rocksmith remastered even if you dont own the first rocksmith.

oh awesome, thanks

Zyfer is correct.

It works like this: all DLC from both games will work in Rocksmith 2014. You don't need anything special; just buy it and it will work.

If you buy the old Rocksmith game and the Import Tool, it updates the licenses of the songs that were included in (old) Rocksmith so that they appear in Rocksmith 2014. (A couple of songs don't transfer, the Clapton songs for instance, but that's because of licensing issues that couldn't be renegotiated. Those songs will still work in (old) Rocksmith though.)

Also, there should be a sale coming up in the next couple of months and any DLC more than a few months old will be discounted, along with both games. And maybe the Import Tool as well, but maybe not.

Today is release day... It depends on your location and Steam releases, but for me it usually updates around noon Central Time (US)
