Stage Tour will launch on December 10, 2026.

Stage Tour will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. You can pre-order hardware bundles in our shop, and pre-order digitally on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Epic Games Store now!

At launch, Stage Tour will be available in two regional versions: ESRB (North American Region) and PEGI | USK | ACB (European & Oceania Region).

Please ensure you select the correct version for your region when ordering. Additional regional versions may become available in the future.

Stage Tour will include over 90 songs at launch, spanning six decades and a wide variety of genres. 

We've been revealing snippets of the setlist and will continue to reveal more as we move towards launch December 10. 

The soundtrack to Stage Tour has a little bit of everything for everyone. The setlist is primarily based around licensed Rock and Metal music from acts of all sizes and subgenres, but we have a wide variety of genres represented in the game. 

The song selection will only continue growing after launch through DLC.

Stage Tour can be played on Lead, Groove, Drums, Vocals, Arcade 4-Lane, and Arcade 5-Lane. Each instrument can be played on Easy, Medium, Hard, or Expert difficulty. 

Lead consists of the instruments most prominently heard leading the melody. This is typically Guitar, but may also be keys, synths, or horns, for example. 

Groove should be thought of in the same way as Lead, but for the backing track - the parts that build the rhythm of the song. This is most often bass, but may also be rhythm guitar, keys, synths, or others. 

Drums gameplay consists of four drum pads and a kick pedal and is designed to be played with a drum controller. Pro Drums introduces cymbal notes into the mix and requires a drum controller with cymbal attachments. Some songs that feature fast double bass sections will be compatible with Expert+ difficulty, which is meant to be played with two kick pedals. 

Vocals lets you sing along to any one of the 90+ songs in the game with a microphone. Your pitch and timing will be key to a solid performance. 

Arcade 4-Lane and Arcade 5-Lane are instrument types designed to be played with a standard gamepad controller or keyboard. Arcade instrument types allow for a full-band experience by switching between playing all instruments in the song in one note chart using one unified control scheme. Arcade 4-Lane uses Green, Red, Blue, and Orange notes, and Arcade 5-Lane introduces the Yellow note, which can be hit with two different buttons.

Stage Tour will have four core game modes at launch - Quickplay, Judgements, Karaoke, and Tour. 

• Quickplay is the familiar and classic mode that allows you to quickly hop into the gameplay on your preferred instrument type and difficulty and jam to over 90 songs either solo, or with up to four players locally or online. 
• Judgements is similar to Quickplay, but with an accuracy-based scoring system. You can earn Perfect, Great, Good, and Okay judgements that award points proportional to the 1,000,000 maximum possible score. 
• Karaoke is a more casual vocals mode that removes the originally recorded vocals from the song and lets your own voice take center stage. You cannot fail out of a song, and we won't judge the pitch of your singing, only your timing. 
• Tour combines classic rhythm-action gameplay with roguelite elements to create a truly unique gameplay experience that is different every time. Choose your unique set of Effect Pedals, purchase upgrades in the Store with your Stars, and journey from playing small stages to sold-out arenas. 

Stage Tour will also feature a Practice Mode for players to sharpen up their skills to get themselves tour-ready.

Tour is a single-player mode that combines classic rhythm-action gameplay with roguelite elements to create a truly unique experience that brings an unprecedented level of strategy, progression, and replayability to the game. 

Effect Pedals are at the core of Tour Mode. Effect Pedals modify gameplay elements to help you earn more score, make it harder to fail a song, or give you benefits for performing certain actions. 

You'll start a new Tour by choosing your Signature Effect — an Effect Pedal that will stay with you throughout the entire run and sets the Tour Size (difficulty) for the run. 

Stars are the currency in Tour Mode. You earn Stars based on your song performance and by completing Crowd Goals during a song. You can use Stars to purchase more Effect Pedals and Consumable items from the Store. 

A full Tour run consists of 15 songs, broken up into five sets of three, as you journey from playing small stages to sold-out arenas. The third song in each set is the Stage Boss, which gives you a challenge or modifier that makes it harder to complete the song or your other goals. If you fail a song in Tour Mode, your run is over and you must start again from the beginning. 

Tour Mode can be played on Lead/Groove or Arcade 4-Lane/5-Lane instrument types.

Tour Mode will feature many different Effect Pedals that modify certain attributes of gameplay or give you abilities that you previously didn't have. They may affect your Multiplier, Octane, Crowd Energy, Streak, Score, and Stars, among other things. Many pedals have both positive and negative effects, so strategizing and carefully planning your build is key to a successful Tour run.

Some examples of Effect Pedals in Tour Mode include: 

• Altered Path: Successfully completing Octane Phrases rewards +25 more Octane. -25 Octane Meter capacity. 
• Strike Bowler: Gain +10 Streak for every 10 notes hit in a row. Missing a note removes 2x Crowd Energy. 
• Gift Horse: After the completion of each song performance, a random consumable item is added to your inventory. 

Consumables are one-time-use items that permanently improve an attribute for this Tour run or give you a one-time boost in the next song. Just like Effect Pedals, Consumables can be purchased from the Store using the Stars you've earned from performances and completing crowd goals. A couple examples of Consumables are the following: 

• Green Charm: Green Notes permanently gain +25 score. (Red, Yellow, Blue, and Orange Charms also exist) 
• Super Star: Stage Power activations increase in strength by +0.1x permanently.

For launch, Tour Mode will be focused on guitar and controller-based gameplay. These two controller types will be the primary instrument used by a vast majority of the playerbase, and we designed and stylized many of the elements within Tour Mode around these styles of gameplay. 

We will be closely monitoring player feedback on Tour Mode at launch to guide potential future updates and expansions.
