Songs are made available worldwide where possible, although regional differences exist due to licensing and censorship restrictions. Over 1600 songs have been made available as downloadable content, including a total of 569 English-language songs. Almost all songs are able to be purchased individually, although some songs can only be purchased in themed packs of five. Įditions of SingStar for the PlayStation 3 support downloadable content in the form of additional songs for the game. Over 70 different SingStar SKUs have been released worldwide, featuring over 1,500 disc-based songs. Gameplay in the SingStar games requires players to sing along to music in order to score points, using SingStar-specific USB microphones which ship with the game. Even though our vocal performances were far from good, at least we always felt the part.SingStar is a series of music video games developed by London Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 video game consoles.

The thing that always appealed to us about SingStar was the quality of the mics. You will be able to take snapshots to your hard drive, however and you'll still get things like Party Mode and high score tracking, but it will be offline instead. You'll also not be able to share anything to social platforms either. It's not all bad news, however: everything you have on disc will continue to work and any songs that you've purchased and downloaded will also work - but once the servers go offline, you'll not be able to access any new songs and downloads will be restricted to songs you have already purchased. That still gives you a year of online play, but after that, the game will revert to being an offline game. The fun continued onto the PlayStation 3 and it survived on the PlayStation 4 as an app, but it has now been confirmed that the servers will be switched off on 31 December 2020. The wired mics moved over to wireless mics and integration with the EyeToy enhanced the fun even further - it was a great party game and a perfect way to embarrass yourself. SingStar was a breakthrough game in many ways it was first released in 2004 on the PlayStation 2, with many different song collections available to buy. (Pocket-lint) - Fans of the PlayStation karaoke game SingStar might be shocked to learn that the servers are scheduled to be switched off, bringing to an end a number of the online features that the game offered.
