ROCKSMITH 2014 LEAVING STORES
Greetings, Rocksmith Community!

Nearly 10 years ago we launched Rocksmith 2014 and set out on a journey of learning and playing guitar together, practicing old favorites, and discovering new ones along the way. We thank you for an incredible decade and know a big part of that was being able to feature officially licensed music to learn and play in Rocksmith 2014.

Now as we approach that decade mark, we must remove Rocksmith 2014 for purchase from all digital storefronts as of October 23, 2023. DLC packs and Singles for Rocksmith 2014 will be removed from those storefronts over time as well.

If you already own Rocksmith 2014 or any DLC from Rocksmith 2014, you will still be able to install, download, re-download, play, and use those products. You should experience no change or interruption in your access. If you do not own those products, you will not be able to purchase them digitally once they are removed from storefronts.

Many of you have shared your love for Rocksmith 2014 and its role in helping you with learning guitar and we’re thrilled to be part of that journey. If you haven’t already, we’d love for you to continue your guitar learning with us through our current project, Rocksmith+. In the coming months we’re looking to introduce some of the biggest names in metal, rock, R&B, and more to our song library.

When will the delisting take place?

Rocksmith 2014 will be removed from all digital storefronts on October 23rd, 2023, with DLC packs and singles to follow over time. Keep an eye on the Rocksmith 2014 in-game news for details.

Can I still play or re-download Rocksmith 2014 or its DLC?

Yes. If you have purchased Rocksmith 2014 and the DLC before they have been delisted, you can continue to enjoy this content on Rocksmith 2014.

Will delisted songs be removed everywhere?

Yes. When Rocksmith 2014 and any associated DLC is delisted, it will be removed from all digital storefronts, including Steam, the Xbox Marketplace, and the PlayStation™Store.

already removed for some reason ...

Yeah, I guess that can happen more times then we would like.

FYI, they removed the Aerosmith song pack already. For anyone who still wants these song packs, I would recommend getting these song packs at least 1 month in advance from when the licensing supposedly expires. The delisting dates are inconsistent, and it seems like Ubisoft will no longer be giving warnings themselves from here on out.

1 month in advance? Ubisoft removed Foo Fighters song pack 2 already, the pack was released in Nov 2014, I wanted that song pack, but now its gone.

Are unlisted DLCs now eligible to become CDLC since we no longer have the option to purchase them?

No

Piracy rules.

Just remember they can be desisted earlier then you think.Just because it has not been on the shelf for ten years, They may have acquired the licence weeks or months before release and that is what counts.

That was apparently a mistake, which is now restored.
It's back on Steam to buy.
