The Beatles: Rock Band is a teen-rated music video game being developed by Harmonix Music Systems, published by MTV Games, and distributed by Electronic Arts. The game will consist of songs from The Beatles, from their first album Please Please Me, to their penultimate album Abbey Road, as well as previously unreleased material according to Dhani Harrison, son of George Harrison. The game will be released internationally on September 9, 2009, coinciding with the release of the remastered versions of The Beatles catalogue. The game will be shipped as a bundle with themed instrument controllers, but all existing Rock Band and compatible music game accessories can be used. The game will incorporate many of the gameplay features of the Rock Band series. However, the game will not be an expansion pack for the Rock Band series, as Harmonix co-founder Alex Rigopulos has stated that this game "...is a new, full game title production built from the ground up".

The Beatles: Rock Band was conceived with input from former Beatles Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, along with Yoko Ono Lennon, Olivia Harrison, and Giles Martin. Martin, the co-producer of The Beatles Love project, will serve as music producer for the game. Dhani Harrison, son of George and Olivia, has also been actively involved in the project, including modeling for character animation.
