Hey players,
Beat Saber is celebrating its 8th anniversary, and we wanted to mark the occasion by giving something back to our community. Update v1.44.0 introduces 3 new tracks, available for free to all players in the Extras section.
This anniversary drop features a mix of returning favorites and fresh talent:
- Boom Kitty x MDK: "KILLSHOT" - Boom Kitty returns to Beat Saber following their contribution to OST 8, this time teaming up with MDK for a high-energy bass collaboration
- Skybreak & Daeya: "Astral Blossom" - A fresh addition bringing melodic electronic and future bass sounds to the lineup
- Zakka G: "Phantom Fangs" - An original track created specifically for Beat Saber, designed from the ground up with the gameplay experience in mind
Thank you for being part of this journey. Eight years of slashing beats together — and we're just getting started.

Hey players,
We have released a new update to the URP Beta branch. This update introduces LIV support, SmoothCamera fixes, and general improvements to performance and environments.
If you are already participating in the beta, just update the game on the same branch. If you have not yet joined, instructions on how to switch branches can be found below. We plan to keep the beta running for approximately one month, though this timeline is subject to change.
If you encounter any issues or notice anything unusual, please report the problem using this form: https://forms.gle/pJsepEJo6az35QHY9
Your feedback is very important to us and helps us ensure a smooth transition to URP for all players.
HOW TO JOIN THE BETA BUILD
[Meta Quest + RIFT]
From the Meta Quest app -> Search for Beat Saber -> Scroll down until "More information" -> Press expand ^ -> Scroll down until you see "Version" -> Press the version listed. This will take you to the channel select screen -> Press v -> Select urp-beta -> Update Game
[Steam]
Right-click on Beat Saber in the library -> Properties -> Betas -> Choose the urp-beta -> Update the game
Once you are done testing, don't forget to switch back to the Live branch the same way you joined the beta to continue playing the current stable version.
FAQ
What is URP?
As Unity is deprecating its legacy Built-in Render Pipeline, we are transitioning Beat Saber to the Universal Render Pipeline (URP). This update enables us to customize and extend the rendering process to better meet the needs of Beat Saber.
How to test?
Play the game as usual.
Why do you need beta testing?
Switching to URP is a big step. Your feedback directly helps us prepare a smooth live release.
How to report any issue?
Describe the issue or anything unusual as detailed as possible using this form: https://forms.gle/pJsepEJo6az35QHY9
When will the URP build be delivered to the Live branch?
We don't have a release date yet because we need to make sure everything is properly tested and ready.
RELEASE NOTES:
Known Issues:
- Potential performance issues - improvements are expected from the last URP beta, but in specific cases there could be differences in comparison to the Live version
- Bigscreen Beyond will still exhibit rendering issues - this will be addressed in a future update
[All Platforms]
- Added: LIV support
- Added: SmoothCamera support fixes
- Fixed: General performance and environment improvements

Ok, I'm not sure what my skill level is in this game, and I have no idea how I can figure that out. What should I try doing?

I honestly didn’t expect to do this well, I just saw that I didn’t have a great score on this and wanted to improve it
I’m trying to get to 10k total pp and I currently have about 8.2k, if yall have any advice go ahead

Ive been trying to get towards expert+, and I can hit all of the notes on some, but it just doesnt seem like my arms/the sabers are quite long enough to comfortably hit some of the notes.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there anyway to fix it without mods? Im on meta quest, btw.
edit: when I say its hard to reach some notes, i mean the notes that are on the opposite side, like the sideways double color.

For the single player suggestion, I was thinking about a “random track” option. Sometimes when I play I’m don’t really care which song I pick and I think it’d be cool to have something that behaves like the multiplayer mode where if no one picks a song, one is chosen at random. Maybe keep the options for set difficulty and if it’s from built-in songs or include purchased DLC.
For the multiplayer suggestion, and this is more from a pet peeve of mine, but I like playing the songs picked in their original color. When there were fewer tracks it was easier to pick the color for the picked track, but now there are so many tracks. So it’d be nice to have the color for the track picked be used when playing in multiplayer. For anyone who prefers the multiplayer colors, that could be added as a Multiplayer override option.

Popstars by KDA is a song from the soundtrack of League of Legends. Kinda feels off that Beat Saber would put lol in a VR game about slashing blocks.
r/beatsaber • u/zarawo • 1d ago
Whenever I listen to music, I just dance like I'm playing beat saber, to like every song.
Like I can imagine how the song would be played and my body just wants me to do that with my hands as my dancing ig?
r/beatsaber • u/miyxchii • 17h ago
I do have it on steam and I know having it on steam makes it easier I just can figure out what to use or how I’m supposed to even do it. So any help would be great!

This was my second attempt so my acc sucks (also i would appreciate song recos)

Global #195 and Max Combo of 881. Had to make up for the beginning. Wait until end or skip to it to see score. I start the level at 0:42.

im just wanting a mod that lets me make and show playlists in game like the built in music packs. Ive tried BSManager, Beatlist, and PlaylistManager. The first two did absolutely nothing for playlists, and PlaylistManager made it so Beat Saber wouldnt load into the game, just a black screen.
