Fuser dropped earlier this month, and we were absolutely blown away by how impressive the title was. Offering an incredible toolkit, Fuser empowers even those with no musical talent to craft masterpieces out of major artists' music. One of our biggest fears, though, was there wouldn't be a consistent pipeline of DLC for the title going forward. But we are pleased to say that is no longer the case.
The 2020 Backstage Pass offers up an additional 21 tracks, as well as nine cosmetic bundles, all dropping before 2020 is up. The pass is $49.99, but you can snag individual tracks or cosmetic packs for $1.99 each if you'd rather cherry-pick certain things.
Given that the game already launched alongside a $39.99 bundle that actually contained more songs, the pricing seems a bit odd. Not to mention just how much money Harmonix is asking of its players, so soon after launch. But having a large pool of DLC to pick from isn't really a bad thing, even if you wait to grab the songs.
The first week of content includes:
- Groove is the Heart by Deee-Lite
- Adore You by Harry Styles
- Inside Out by Zedd & Griff
- Emote Pack: Dance Party
All of the new content should be available now. So what do you think? Are you already itching for some new Fuser tracks? Or is the launch lineup of tunes plenty for now? Let us know in the comments.

Deee-Lite. This is what I want to see!
They did a good job with fuser its enjoyable and challenging. I will get additional tracks but will wait till they discount them a little.
The game is amazing, but the add-on costs are seriously no joke. I'm happy they're releasing new songs so soon though.
I love Harmonix and want to support them, I've bought every game they've ever released and tonnes of DLC, but...holy hell, the pricing scheme for Fuser is buck wild. $60 for the game, $45 for the VIP pack, and now they want ANOTHER $50 for a pass. That's $155...it's been out for two weeks.
They're pricing tracks the same way they did for RB...but tracks don't work the same way. In RB, you bought a track because you like that track, you always had a good idea of how it would play across the various instruments, and you assumed you would play that track multiple times. That's not how tracks in Fuser work, and there's no way of knowing how any individual part of song A is going to mesh with parts of songs B/C/D until you have it and hear it it all mixed together.
I get it, licensing is expensive, but they're got to figure out a better way to offer dlc for this game.
This game looks incredibly lame. Like some 2002 edgy approximation of DJ culture. Yick...
@Wormold That is what they're doing. 3 songs a week I think? Or 4? You can buy them individually still too
@GeneJacket They're in a bit of a catch 22 because if they wait too long to start the DLC train, no one's gonna keep playing, but if they start soon like this, now it looks bad for just how much money the game costs upfront if you want everything. TOtally agreed though, not an easy way to tell how the songs would fit into mixes.
@alphadrago5 @blacklivesmatter Yeah I'm probably waiting for a sale too haha. That day 1 bundle is a solid deal (1 song from that is cheaper than 1 song for Rock Band 4), but this new pass, ehhhh. I don't really care about the cosmetic stuff, which kinda skews the value proposition for me
