PSVR & PSVR 2 Updates for ‘Beat Saber’ Conclude Today; Multiplayer Ends in 2026

So, here’s the scoop I stumbled over. Beat Games—the folks behind that wildly addictive Beat Saber rhythm game—well, they’re pulling the plug on updates for PSVR and PSVR 2. Kinda like they just waved a magic wand and said, “Nope, we’re done here.” Multiplayer’s going offline early next year too. Oof.

I saw their announcement on X, which still sounds like a mystery novel title to me—but anyway, they said they’re dreaming big for Beat Saber’s next phase. PS4 and PS5? Stuck in the past, apparently. But hey, you can still slash away with what you’ve got, including all your past music packs. So, if you were planning some kind of epic block-slashing marathon, you’re all good. For now.

Here’s a date to scribble down: June 18th. Any music packs dropped before that are yours to keep, but don’t hold your breath for new jams. Cross-buy still works though, so your PS4 and PS5 can stay BFFs. Oh, and the last DLC we’ll see? Lady Gaga’s ‘Abracadabra’. Who thought of naming it that? Honestly.

Then there’s the multiplayer— introduced back in 2020 for PC VR and Quest. Cross-play tried its best to unite everyone a year later, but alas, PlayStation was left out of the fun like that odd sock in the laundry. Fast forward: multiplayer’s pulled from PS4/PS5 on January 21st, 2026. Mark your calendars, folks. Or don’t. Up to you.

But wait—Quest users are still living the high life with their fountain of fresh updates. Ten million units sold on Quest! Almost feels like they’re hoarding all the cool new stuff. Same goes for Steam, where things are trucking along as usual.

And not to throw shade, but Meta’s never been one to share toys nicely. Supporting Beat Saber on PSVR since 2018 was probably an olive branch, which they’re now yanking back. Since PSVR 2 launched in February 2023, it’s been kinda chilling in the background, oddly silent on big exclusives. Developers? They’ve been channeling their energy into platforms with bigger audiences. Makes sense, I guess, but still a bummer.

Oh, and here’s a kicker: Sony’s sorta souping up PSVR 2. You can play PC VR games with a wired adapter—kinda goes against the whole exclusive console vibe, doesn’t it? Plus, soon you might use your PSVR 2 controllers with Apple Vision Pro. Yep, Apple. Didn’t see that coming.

So, what’s the takeaway here? Maybe it’s about moving on. Or it’s just another chapter in the world of tech where things change faster than a caffeinated squirrel. I dunno, but it’s something to sit and ponder next time you’re slashing blocks.
