• Downloadable Content

  One of the most well-liked features of Rock Band is the large amount of downloadable content. Each week new songs are released for download; these songs can be purchased within the game, and are added to the set list immediately upon download. Harmonix also offers entire albums that can be purchased as bundles that cost less than the individual downloads. The first such album to be released was the Judas Priest album Screaming for Vengeance.
