We've known about Activision's ambitious mobile plans for Guitar Hero Live since the game was announced. One additional feature was explained to Game Informer today as we discussed the recently announced vocal feature.



If you already have a USB microphone, you're set. Plug it in and you're ready to wail. If you don't, you could hold off on purchasing one.

The specifics (as well as more features for the app) will be revealed in the coming weeks. But given the prevalence of smartphones, this could save you some bank when Guitar Hero Live releases on October 20 for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Wii U, and mobile platforms.
