Get ready for the most authentic high-energy rock'n'roll simulation ever! Strap on your trusty guitar, join your band on stage and rock out like nobody's watching!
What an Amazing Experience! TL:DR: After my own terrible pc issues and purchasing Add-on songs that caused install errors, I highly recommend! The immersion of being onstage with the band in front of a lively crowd is unlike any other virtual experience I've had yet! Wow!
I initially heard about Rockband VR when it released, but never thought I would be able to play it as I was a console player with a terrible PC. I then heard about the release of the Oculus Quest being a standalone device and searched immediately to see if Rockband VR would be playable without a PC or laptop, which didn't yield any positive results.
I finally decided to purchase a Quest 2 at the end of 2021. Out of a nostalgic love for Harmonix games, I bought Rockband VR as one of my first games. I plugged it into my terrible PC, bought a Microsoft controller adapter (which is another reason I now understand the requirement of a PC/laptop as the guitar controller connects via Bluetooth), and then launched the game.
I stood with excitement as a dream I've had for years was about to come true. I got to the first tutorial and my computer, as I suspected, was making my experience a choppy disaster. I was about to take off my headset when I realized I could make out the crowd standing in front of me, with my other band members on stage, looking at me to start the song by giving a nod to the drummer sitting at the rear. It felt as though I was so close to playing something spectacular, yet so far.
In the meantime, I became addicted to Audica, which is easily one of my favorite Quest games of all time.
May 2022, I finally saved up enough for a gaming laptop. I purchased a Predator as it wasn't terribly expensive and had the specs required to run Rockband VR.
I got home, hooked everything up, and launched the game via PC Link. It was buttery smooth! I walked onstage, nodded to the drummer, and began playing along to Blink 182. The crowd was jumping up and down, I could move around the stage, add pedal effects, and even smack the drummer's cymbal with the neck of my guitar. It was epic!
And then I chose to download some of the Add-on songs...
I intended to buy them all. I started with 2. Once they finished downloading, I was prompted to update my Rockband app. I tried, and it errored out. I tried to reinstall Rockband, but it errored out. I tried contacting Oculus support and we spent a week trying to troubleshoot. I factory reset my Quest 2, I updated drivers, disabled settings, reinstalled PC and phone app, everything that they suggested. Nothing worked.
I explained that it happened after I purchased the add-on songs. They finally listened and refunded the 2 songs as they usually don't refund DLC. As soon as they did, it downloaded immediately via PC link.
Was the hassle worth it? Absolutely. This is now my favorite game to play on the Quest. I'm going through the story and checking out new venues, learning about chord combos, and shredding solos in my favorite songs. The bandmates have their own personalities, the catalog is diverse, and the immersion is phenomenal.
If you have a compatible guitar controller, the controller adapter that attaches to the end of the guitar, and a decent PC/laptop, I highly recommend this experience!

インストールに失敗した方は、こちらをお読みください。 2021年11月から12月にかけて、多くのユーザーがPCのOculusプログラム経由でゲームをインストールできないことがありました。これはRock Band VRに限ったことではありません。この問題についての巨大なスレッドはこちらです: https://forums.oculusvr.com/t5/Support/PC-Oculus-Store-issues-unable-to-download-most-past-titles/m-p/899185

If you had failed installs, read this. In November and December of 2021, many users could not install their games via the PC Oculus program. This was not isolated to Rock Band VR.

Rock Bandフランチャイズにおける堅実な作品。 ポジティブな点 このゲームは堅実だ。Rock Bandの体験がVRに移植され、新たなひねりが加えられている。新しいゲームプレイはとても楽しく、ステージに上がっているような感覚を味わえる。
Solid Entry in the Rock Band Franchise. The Positives: This game is solid. The Rock Band experience has been ported over to the VR and given a new twist. The new gameplay is a lot of fun, and really gives you that feeling of being up on stage.
The Negatives: I wish the Classic Mode had been given a little more thought. Having the full audience rocking out behind the highway chart has so much potential! And, the lag. There is a lot of stuttering. I am playing on an Oculus Quest 2 though (Both through Airlink and Direct Connection), and I know this game was never designed with that in mind, so I'll cut it some slack. I can't yet confirm whether it's due to my USB-C cable or not, so I am purchasing a new one with the Quest 2 in mind. If that fixes the issue, then I will update my review to reflect that. Unfortunately though, the game is nearly unplayable for me right now.
It's a shame that this game seems abandoned. With the explosion of VR in the past couple of years, I feel that it was way before its time, which is ironic given that the plastic rock era has long been over. WIth their recent acquisition by Epic Games, maybe Harmonix will revisit this lost gem. As someone who's been rocking out with fake plastic guitars since the original Guitar Hero on PS2, I can only hope so!
Long Time RB and GH fan. Got a Quest 2 last year and a gaming PC this year, just remembered the Oculus exclusive title Rockband VR exists. Buys, plays, gets frustrated with guitar disconnecting every 3 seconds, figures out is too far away from computer, profit.
Fun game that is like learning it from scratch all over again, would recommend if you even have a Rockband Guitar anymore!
Base game is great... If you can get it to download. I had to remove ICUE corsair software from my pc and it finally worked. Just dont buy any DLC as they will not install I cannot find a fix for this. The base game is still worth it though! I rate 4 stars because the lack of being able to add DLC.

インストールできればファンタスティックなゲーム 何年も前からプレイしていますが、素晴らしいです。しかし、2022年現在、インストールできない。"申し訳ありませんが、Rock Band VRをインストールすることができませんでした。Oculusサポートにアクセスしてヘルプを入手してください。" 他の人もこの問題を抱えていて、https://forums.oculusvr.com/t5/Get-Help/PC-Oculus-Store-issues-unable-to-download-most-past-titles/m-p/929749#M120487、Metaからの応答が見えますが、それは2021年のことです。現在、2023年近くなっていますが、これはまだ問題になっています。

Fantastic game if you can install it. I've been playing this for years and it's great. But as of 2022, I cannot install it. "Sorry, we couldn't install Rock Band VR. Visit Oculus Support to get help." Others are having the issue, and I see a response from Meta over at https://forums.oculusvr.com/t5/Get-Help/PC-Oculus-Store-issues-unable-to-download-most-past-titles/m-p/929749#M120487 but that was 2021. It's now nearly 2023 and this is still a problem.
Game won't install on my pc. Good job you guys GAME WONT INSTALL ON PC AND WONT LET ME REFUND IT!!!!! GOOD 50 DOLLARS down the drain. THIS IS SUCH CRAP. WILL START DOWNLOADING TO ONLY 318MB THEN JUST WONT GO ANYMORE. STOPS SAME PLACE ALL THE TIME. FIX IT NOW AS YOU HAVE MY MONEY AND I CANT GET IT BACK FOR SOME REASON
Abandoned Project w/ Potential. TDLR: This game is a amazing product that was abandoned and never brought out to its full potential.
What made this game 2 stars is the lack of song's. Thiers just not enough to really justify the pricetag and only one DLC pack which is mainly all aurosmith songs and a few others. It shows Harmonix just rushed this product without the intention to keep adding content to the game or fether expanding the game. Its a shame that Rockband 4 Rivals is still getting content til this day when this game is NEWER. Makes no sense!
Works perfectly with Quest & air link/vd. This game is awesome. I love the new play style! It makes you fell like your on stage playing a custom version of the song. Yes, you can totally ruin the song by mashing buttons. It takes some skill to make the song sound good and custom and I love it. They do guide you through parts and suggest “cords”. The more I play the better I get and found myself just lost in the music jamming out. For all the classic RB fans they kept that in the game as an option but I find myself wanting to play the new style.
The only part that was a bit of a pain was getting the controller mounted right… I used rubber bands and it worked pretty good. If you had a 3d printer you could design a holder pretty easily. I think you can also get the oculus touch mount from oculus support but haven’t tried yet.
Harmonix, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE circle back to this one and create some more DLC!!!

がインストールされない !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 自分のゲームなのにIT WILL NOT INSTALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
これでOculusから最低賃金でも貰えれば大金持ちですね。

WILL NOT INSTALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Own game but IT WILL NOT INSTALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I had even min wage from Oculus for all my wasted time I'd be rich.
its good but support is not. I have a quest 2 and all i can say it works i had to redneck attack the quest 2 controller to the guitar but after fighting that the game is good i recommend picking this up for the rift cv1 owners but if you have a quest 2 be prepared to fight the controller to stay on the guitar
Completely abandoned from launch. There are still fatal flaws and bugs that prevent you from playing this game. Completely ridiculous. The game is on version 1.01 all these years later. What a waste. This is the most uninspired, lazy creation.

驚きの体験。 このゲームは素晴らしいですね。私は昔、Rock Bandの大ファンでしたが、このゲームをVRで体験すると、まさに...。驚きの連続です!!! 伝統的なプレイをしたい人のために、オリジナル・モードを残しているのもいいですね。このゲームはQuest 2 Via Virtual deaktopでプレイしていますが、完璧に動作しています。他のレビューで言及されているような問題はありませんでしたが、私はXboxOne Jaguar Guitarも使用しています。
Amazing Experience. This game is amazing! I was a huge Rock Band fan back in the day and experiencing this game in VR Is just... Well Amazing !!!. I love how they kept the original mode as well for those who want traditional gameplay . Im playing this game on the Quest 2 Via Virtual deaktop and it works flawlessly. I did not notice any of the issues mentione in other Reviews but im also using the XboxOne Jaguar guitar.
Hermonix Please revisit this game and show it some love. More DLC would be really appreciated and bug fixes for people that need it.
Broken & Unplayable. Takes about 10 minutes to load the game on a 5950X with 32GB of RAM and an NVME SSD, which is probably some kind of record.
Once started the game very frequently stops rendering graphics, you hear sound but the visuals just... stop... for a few seconds. Nevermind hitting 120FPS, this game can't even hold 1FPS.
I've had the hitching issue on two different headsets, on two different sets of PC hardware, so I'm pretty sure this game is just broken.
Awesome VR experience, works on Quest 2! I've been playing this for a few years now (on Rift, Rift S, Quest 1 & 2) and still love it! To be honest, it's one of my all time favourite experiences in VR. It looks the best on the Quest 1 - its OLED displays make the dark environment (club) with the bright colorful lights look more realistic, it's more immersive. The LED screens of the Rift S and the Quest 2 make everything look a bit greyish instead of black and the lights less bright and colorful. The good news is that the fatter Quest 2 controller still fits well into the guitar's controller holder. And of course it looks sharper on the Quest 2 than ever before, Oculus Link and Virtual Desktop work flawlessly with Rockband VR. If your Whammy bar doesn't work, unplug/disable all Bluetooth/USB mice & keyboards before running the game. Run Oculus in administration mode. If you get an error message when running the game, start the game manually by opening rbvr.exe (in folder ...\Oculus\Software\harmonix-rockband-vr) in administration mode. As much as I love the game, I cannot give it 5 stars because Harmonix has obviously abandonded the game instead of giving us more DLC :(
