Rock Band Blitz was a 2012 rhythm game developed and published by Harmonix. It is the eighth console installment in the Rock Band series. The game was released as a downloadable game for PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade in August 2012.[2] Unlike previous iterations of Rock Band, Blitz was not sold with any special instrument controllers, and was designed to use regular console controllers to match notes in a song, using gameplay mechanics similar to Harmonix' previous titles Frequency (2001), Amplitude (2003), and Rock Band Unplugged (2009). In addition to the 25 songs shipped with the game, the title was capable of using any songs the player has downloaded or exported for Rock Band 3 (2010).
Due to music license expirations, the game was delisted from the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live storefronts on August 28, 2017.[3]
