This new, updated version of SingStar will be available in North America (as well as Canada, Brazil and Mexico!) as a free digital download, exclusively on PlayStation Network for both PS4 and PS3. With this download you will get the game client with direct access to the SingStore so you can easily browse through and purchase songs to build your library.

The SingStar Mic companion app will be available at launch for free (Android, iPhone, and iPod Touch), and will allow you to use your smart device as a microphone and is compatible with both the PS4 and PS3 versions of SingStar. You can also use the app to create playlists from your SingStar library to play in game.

That’s right, no mics required.

The developers are also working hard to optimize the social experience of SingStar by making it even easier to share the best bits of your night on Twitter and Facebook straight from the game. With an improved scoring system you can also build up your XP and get rewarded for game activity, or challenge your friends online and entertain them with your renditions of your favorite songs.

You’ll also be able to download tons more songs from the SingStore, from the latest Pop hits and Rock classics, to Hip Hop and RnB.

The price for songs and song packs will remain the same as they did in previous versions of the game. You can purchase songs from the in-game SingStore or directly from PSN — individual songs are $1.49 and song packs containing five songs are $5.99.

If you have already purchased songs from the SingStore or PSN for SingStar on PS3, then if the song is available on PS4 you will be able to download it to your PS4 at no extra charge as long as you are logged in to the same SEN account.
