Updates for ‘Beat Saber’ on PSVR & PSVR 2 Cease Today; Multiplayer Ending in 2026

So, here’s the deal with Beat Saber and PlayStation—got some news that’s a bit of a bummer if you’re into slashing blocks with fancy lightsabers. You know, those flashy games everyone’s been raving about since 2019? Anyway, Beat Games, which is chilling under Meta’s umbrella, just said they’re dropping support for Beat Saber on PSVR and PSVR 2. No more updates, starting today. I mean, not even multiplayer is safe. They’re pulling the plug on that early next year. Yikes.

I came across this info on X—yeah, the app formerly known as Twitter. Love it or hate it, X is where companies drop their bombshells. So, no more shiny new stuff for PS4 and PS5 players. Apparently, Beat Games has their head in the clouds with plans for some “big leap” for Beat Saber. Not on PlayStation, though. Sorry, folks!

But hey, let’s not freak out too much. If you’ve already got your hands on Beat Saber or any of those juicy DLC music packs, you’re still good to go. The music remains, a kind of beat-slashing ghost of updates past. And, you can still buy stuff. It’s just, you know, the new stuff that won’t be joining the party.

The last hurrah, if you’re wondering, is a Lady Gaga track—‘Abracadabra’. Boom, June 5th, it lands as this ‘Shock Drop’ thing. Fancy, right? Not like I follow Gaga’s magical beats, but for Beat Saber fans, it’s that one final riff before the curtain falls.

Oh, and heads up: Multiplayer says its goodbyes starting January 21st, 2026. Somehow, the PlayStation version never quite got cozy with cross-play. I know, what a shame. Meanwhile, PC VR and Meta’s Quest are living their best lives, rolling in updates and making friends across ecosystems. Sigh, typical.

Meta’s got this not-so-little thing going with Quest—like over 10 million Beat Saber units sold. Insane, right? Plus, Steam keeps getting love too, so there’s that.

Sony’s not been its old self since PSVR 2 dropped in February 2023. Back in the original PSVR days, they cranked out exclusives like popcorn at a movie theater. Now? Eh, not so much. So, developers are, like, “See ya, PlayStation,” and chasing those bigger crowds over on Quest and SteamVR.

And meanwhile, Sony’s doing a weird little dance. They’re sort of letting PSVR 2 users go rogue, playing PC VR games with a dongle. It’s like, “Who even are you, Sony?” Oh, and soon you can even use PSVR 2 controllers with Apple Vision Pro. Go figure.

Anyway, talk about a twist in the gaming plot. Who knows where it all leads, but good luck keeping up, PlayStation peeps!
