Guitar Hero Live is a music rhythm game developed by FreeStyleGames and released in 2015 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U, and iOS. It serves as a reboot of the Guitar Hero franchise, marking the series' first entry since Warriors of Rock in 2010. The game introduces a redesigned guitar controller featuring a six-button layout, departing significantly from the five-button configuration of earlier entries. Gameplay is presented through full motion video that places the player in the perspective of a guitarist performing at live concerts, creating a simulated real-world stage environment. A separate mode called Guitar Hero TV draws from a television broadcast format, offering curated playlists and multiplayer functionality organized in the style of music video channels. Together, these changes represent a substantial overhaul of the mechanics and presentation that defined the original series.
