It was announced at Ubisoft's 2013 E3 presentation and was released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC/Mac in October 2013, with versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One releasing in November 2014.
The game comes with 66 songs on disk, with over a thousand more available to download as paid DLC. Like its predecessor, the game allows players to plug in virtually any electric guitar or bass guitar and play along via the use of a USB adapter – removing the need for any proprietary controller like other music games such as Guitar Hero.
It is a followup to the 2011 game Rocksmith, but has been described as a replacement to the original game rather than a sequel. Rocksmith 2014 is a music video game produced by Ubisoft.
