Beat Saber support is ending on PS VR and PS VR2

It’s the end of the line for Beat Saber on PS VR and PS VR2. While you’ll still be able to buy and play the base game on both platforms, as well as any songs and music packs that were released before today (June 18), Beat Games is winding down support for those versions. They won’t get any new songs or music packs. As such, the final song that became available for Beat Saber on PS VR and PS VR2 was “Abracadabra.”

Moreover, the PlayStation versions of Beat Saber will lose their multiplayer features on January 21 next year. Beat Games says that it will still provide customer support to players on those platforms.

“As we look to the future and plan the next big leap for Beat Saber, we have made the decision to no longer release updates for PS4 and PS5 starting in June 2025,” Beat Games wrote in and . “Our passion for VR remains unwavering. We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and what we can bring to Beat Saber fans who have been on this journey with us over the past seven years.”

This change doesn’t impact the Steam VR version of Beat Saber. New songs, music packs and features are still coming to Beat Saber on Steam and Meta Quest platforms.

Meta bought Beat Games . In effect, the company is ceasing Beat Saber development on platforms that its own headsets

It’s most likely that Meta and Beat Games are ending their efforts on PlayStation versions of Beat Saber because they’re no longer seeing enough of a return on investment (though ending multiplayer support is an odd move). By all accounts, Meta Quest headsets have far outsold PS VR2 units.

It could be argued that Sony hasn’t fully gotten behind its own platform. By my count, there are fewer than two dozen PS VR2-exclusive games. The most recent featured only one (non-exclusive) game for the platform, Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow. So, it’s maybe not surprising that Meta is pulling the plug on Beat Saber on PlayStation’s VR headsets.

It’s still a shame though, as Beat Saber arguably remains one of the best VR games around, and maybe even the killer VR app. At this point, it might be best for PS VR2 owners who have a capable-enough PC and want more Beat Saber songs to and play the game on that platform. After all, Beat Saber is modable on PC (and Meta Quest), and there are thousands of available.
