Harmonix has revealed the reason for the pricing difference between the PS4 and Xbox One standalone versions of Rock Band 4.



The PS4 standalone game costs $60 USD, but the Xbox One version is $80. According to Gamespot, this price difference is thanks to the Xbox One version requiring a "legacy game controller adapter," which will allow players to use their existing Xbox 360 instruments.

No such adapter is required for the PS4, however; legacy Rock Band instruments will work out of the box.

Harmonix has released a chart to help figure out if your old instruments will work with Rock Band 4, though be mindful that these details aren't yet finalised.

This isn't the only pricing kerfuffle Rock Band 4 has encountered; Australians can expect to pay up to 100% more for Rock Band 4 products. Last week, distributor Mad Catz addressed why pre-order prices for the game are much higher in Europe and Australia than in the US.

Earlier today, we discovered that the latest batch of songs revealed for Rock Band 4 includes artists such as The Protomen, Soundgarden, and the Arctic Monkeys.
