So, here’s the deal. Beat Saber on PSVR and PSVR 2 is hitting the brakes on updates. Yep, Beat Games, those folks under Meta, decided to call it quits on new stuff for these platforms. Multiplayer’s still around for a bit, but it’s also getting the boot early next year. Why? Well, apparently, they’re eyeing the “next big thing” or whatever.
Listen, you can still jam out with Beat Saber on PSVR systems. The tracks you bought? Yours to keep. Even the ones from way back in June, like Lady Gaga’s ‘Abracadabra’—what a tune, right? Anyway, nothing new is coming after that. Oh, but cross-buy between PS4 and PS5? Still a thing. They’re not pulling everything!
Multiplayer’s gonna vanish on January 21, 2026—mark that, PSVR users! It was a thing since 2020 for PC and Quest, with cross-play following. But, uh, PlayStation never got that cross-play magic. Total bummer if you ask me. Quest’s going strong, thanks to over 10 million units sold, and Steam isn’t missing out on updates either, so no worries there.
Meta and Sony—kind of like oil and water sometimes. Beat Saber had a good run on PSVR since 2018, but this move? Kinda says something about the PlayStation ecosystem, don’t you think? PSVR 2 came out this February (2023, in case you, y’know, forgot), but Sony’s been chill about exclusives, just like not really into it anymore. Developers? Yeah, they’re looking elsewhere, like SteamVR and Quest.
And hey, the PSVR 2 has changed lanes a bit. You can even hook it up to a PC now with this adapter thingy, and soon, those fancy controllers will vibe with Apple Vision Pro too. Weirdly cool, right? The world’s just full of surprises.
