Okay, so here’s the thing. I stumbled upon this announcement — something about Beat Saber, right? You know, that game where you slice those colorful blocks to the beat? Anyway, Meta, or should I say Beat Games, just dropped this bomb on PSVR and PSVR 2 users. Apparently, no more updates. Not now, not ever. And multiplayer? Say goodbye to that next year. Wild, I know.
So, there was this post — I think on X. Or was it Y? Kidding. No, really, they decided no more updates for PS4 and PS5. Like, they’re setting their sights on the future with some grand plans for Beat Saber. New horizons or whatever. But don’t panic, you can still play and buy the game — plus all those songs you grabbed.
Speaking of tunes, anything that popped up before June 18th? Yeah, all yours. But nothing new after that. Cross-buy stays, though, which is… something, right? Oh, and Sony’s last dance with Beat Saber DLC was this Lady Gaga banger, ‘Abracadabra.’ Came out early June.
And multiplayer? The axe falls in January 2026 for PS4/PS5. I guess if you’re hanging out in PC VR land or on Quest, you’ll still have a party. Cross-play came along a bit later and just skipped right over to PlayStation.
Meta and PlayStation — what a mismatched pair sometimes. Meta’s like, “Nah, we’re good,” and keeps Beat Saber rolling on Quest and Steam. Over 10 million units sold on Quest alone! Meanwhile, Steam’s not changing much either. Still getting new tunes over there.
Oh, and the drama! Sony’s PSVR 2 came out in February ’23, and you’d expect big, flashy games, right? Not really. It’s like they hit snooze and left the rest of us waiting. So, developers moved to bigger fish — Quest and SteamVR. Makes sense, I guess.
But get this — you can play PC VR games on your PSVR 2 now with this cool wired adapter. It’s like Sony said, “Forget the rules.” And soon, those Sense Controllers? You might use them with Apple Vision Pro. Weird times we’re living in.
Okay, rant over. Beat Saber fans, what’s your move now?
