It's the top of the road for Beat Saber on PS VR and PS VR2. Whilst you'll nonetheless have the ability to purchase and play the bottom recreation on each platforms, in addition to any songs and music packs that had been launched earlier than right now (June 18), Beat Video games is winding down help for these variations. They received't get any new songs or music packs. As such, the ultimate music that grew to become obtainable for Beat Saber on PS VR and PS VR2 was Girl Gaga's "Abracadabra."
Furthermore, the PlayStation variations of Beat Saber will lose their multiplayer options on January 21 subsequent 12 months. Beat Video games says that it’ll nonetheless present buyer help to gamers on these platforms.
"As we glance to the longer term and plan the following massive leap for Beat Saber, now we have made the choice to not launch updates for PS4 and PS5 beginning in June 2025," Beat Video games wrote in a press release on X and its web site. "Our ardour for VR stays unwavering.

This transformation doesn't impression the Steam VR model of Beat Saber. New songs, music packs and options are nonetheless coming to Beat Saber on Steam and Meta Quest platforms.
Meta purchased Beat Video games again in 2019. In impact, the corporate is ceasing Beat Saber improvement on platforms that don’t help its personal headsets
It's most probably that Meta and Beat Video games are ending their efforts on PlayStation variations of Beat Saber as a result of they're not seeing sufficient of a return on funding (although ending multiplayer help is an odd transfer). By all accounts, Meta Quest headsets have far outsold PS VR2 items.
It may very well be argued that Sony hasn't totally gotten behind its personal platform. By my rely, there are fewer than two dozen PS VR2-exclusive video games. The latest State of Play stream featured just one (non-exclusive) recreation for the platform, Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow. So, it's perhaps not stunning that Meta is pulling the plug on Beat Saber on PlayStation's VR headsets.
It's nonetheless a disgrace although, as Beat Saber arguably stays the most effective VR video games round, and perhaps even the killer VR app. At this level, it is perhaps greatest for PS VR2 homeowners who’ve a capable-enough PC and wish extra Beat Saber songs to select up the PC adaptor and play the sport on that platform. In spite of everything, Beat Saber is modable on PC (and Meta Quest), and there are millions of customized music maps obtainable.
