Which Guitar Hero 5 mode supports eight players online?

Guitar Hero 5’s RockFest mode supports up to eight players online.

RockFest is the game’s competitive multiplayer format, introduced to make band play more flexible and social. It supports four players locally or eight players online, with everyone competing through short sections of a song rather than simply comparing one final score. Players can build a playlist and assign different scoring rules to each track.

Its sub-modes include Momentum, Streakers, Perfectionist, Do or Die, Elimination, and Pro Face-Off. In general, songs are divided into roughly 30-second sections, and players earn points according to the selected rules. For example, Perfectionist rewards the best percentage of correctly hit notes, while Elimination removes the lowest-scoring player after sections.

Quickplay is for freely selecting songs, Career is the progression mode, and Party Play is an automatically running drop-in mode. Those options can include multiplayer, but they are not the named mode that specifically provides the eight-player online competition. Guitar Hero 5 was released in 2009 for PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360.
