We couldn’t be more excited!Īs we mentioned in previous posts one of the key new features with this version of SingStar is the SingStar Mic app which turns your compatible smart device into a microphone. If you are new to SingStar, we also have selected demo tracks available for free download on the SingStore, so you can check out the fun before you buy.

This new, redesigned digital version of SingStar lets consumers customize their in-game song choices with the purchase of individual songs for $1.49 or song packs containing 5 songs for $6.99 (purchase of in-game content is required for gameplay). SingStar's popularity waned as the music hero genre waxed - Guitar Hero and Rock Band on the PS3 effectively killed it, and the game was shipped without its iconic mammoth microphone in favor of smartphone compatibility.The newly revamped version of SingStar is out now for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, and it’s free on PlayStation Store. Your 14th birthday party was woefully inadequate if you didn't have a SingStar, even if your mother's eardrums remained intact. SingStar reached its zenith during its time on the PS2, as the best-selling home console coupled with the karaoke classic ushered in an era of casual party gaming. However, PS4 players will be able to redownload any songs they've purchased and deleted from their systems even after the servers go dark - if there are any SingStar PS4 players. Anyone still in possession of a PS2 and the physical SingStar disc will be able to enjoy a previously selected list of songs ad infinitum.

After January 31, there will be no more online support for SingStar - that means no more new songs or online play, permanently unavailable online leaderboards, and a permanent loss in SingStar dead space of all the old songs purchased by PS3 players (unless you download them to your console before the cut-off date).
