This is a Pack/Addon for Rocksmith 2014, requiring the base game to function. Released in 2016, this music simulator content adds five specific tracks—including songs by The Pretty Reckless and Hole—to your playable library. The core gameplay loop remains focused on learning and mastering these new songs on electric guitar or bass, with each track featuring a new authentic in-game tone. It expands the catalog without introducing new mechanics to the main simulation.
This package introduces five distinct tracks, each accompanied by a newly developed, authentic in-game tone designed to emulate the sound profile associated with the original recording artists. Since this is an add-on, it requires the base game to be functional; it is not a standalone experience. The scope of this content is focused entirely on expanding the playable song catalog rather than introducing new mechanics, levels, or narrative elements to the main simulation.
The songs included in this specific collection are:
The appeal of this content lies in the specific selection of rock music curated for this release. Players gain access to five new arrangements to practice, each offering unique technical challenges suitable for guitar and bass players looking to diversify their repertoire. The inclusion of new authentic tones ensures that players can attempt to replicate the sonic quality of these specific recordings within the simulation environment.
As of its current state, this pack serves as a fixed addition to the existing Rocksmith 2014 experience, focusing solely on the musical library expansion.
For users of the base game, this pack directly enhances the core gameplay loop—learning and playing music—by providing five new, professionally charted songs. The integration is seamless; once purchased and installed, these tracks become available within the main game's song library, accessible for practice modes, score tracking, and performance evaluation, utilizing all the existing simulation features of the parent title.
The gameplay remains centered on the core mechanics of the simulator: learning note-for-note transcriptions of the included songs using a real electric guitar or bass connected to the system. The primary feature enhancement is the addition of the five new tracks and their corresponding, unique in-game amplifier/effects settings.
