How to use GoCentral to play online.

Thanks to the talented crew at RBEnhanced, the GoCentral project has revived Rock Band 3’s online mode. This part will be going over how to get the most out of your experience while playing online.

Inviting Friends

Before sending or receiving invites, make sure you’re online. For that, open the Start menu and press on “Play on GoCentral” to go online.
