IGN notes:
PDP Riffmaster will be compatible with two games: Rock Band 4, which released its final DLC last week, and Fortnite Festival, once Harmonix releases an update that allows the game to support Rock Band guitar controllers. When the update does arrive, Fortnite Festival will significantly benefit from guitar controller support as this free-to-play rhythm game is controller and keyboard-only at the moment, making it feel odd to play.
