Harmonix, the studio behind the series, was actually an early adopter of VR and released Rock Band VR back in 2017 on Rift though you needed one of the series’ guitar controllers to play (and an adapter to connect your VR controller to the guitar to track it). You might be wondering to yourself, “why not just do the real Rock Band in VR?” Well, actually that already exists.
The studio has also recruited Steel Panther guitarist Russ “Satchel” Parrish to be the in-game mentor to guide players through the experience. More songs are expected to be announced prior to launch.
We’ve reached out to the studio for clarity. Many Pimax headsets include controllerless finger-tracking from Ultraleap, but it isn’t clear if they will be supported either. HTC Vive headsets technically support controllerless finger-tracking, though it’s rare to see it implemented. The studio seems to indicate that other finger-tracking hardware could be supported, but it isn’t entirely clear which they are be referring to.
ROCK BAND UNPLUGGED DLC HELP FULL
Later this year the game will also come to PC VR, though it will only support hardware with full finger-tracking, which primarily means any headset using Index controllers (unfortunately Oculus hasn’t brought Quest’s hand-tracking to Rift S). Today developer Anotherway announced that the Unplugged release date is set for October 21st on Quest.
The game definitely builds on the vibes of classic instrument-based rhythm games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero, but this time without the plastic guitar. Unplugged, on the other hand, is using hand-tracking in a creative way which promises to finally make your air guitar a reality. Today developer Anotherway announced the game’s release date for October 21st on Oculus Quest, and affirmed that a PC VR version will launch later this year.Īs far as controllerless hand-tracking games on Quest go, the vast majority are using the tech for simple pinch and poke interactions (though we’ve seen some really cool ideas out there). Unplugged is an upcoming VR rhythm game which makes use of full finger-tracking for a Rock Band-like experience, but with an ‘air guitar’ instead of a plastic peripheral.
