Okay, so picture this. Beat Games, you know them, right? They’re the crew behind that rhythm game, Beat Saber. Just announced they’re kinda hitting the brakes on PSVR and PSVR 2 updates. Like, today. Bam. And multiplayer? Well, that’s taking a bow early next year.
Over on X (or whatever Elon’s calling it these days), they dropped the news. PS4 and PS5 versions are just, yeah, no more updates. They’re eyeing some future leap or something. But hey, don’t panic. If you’re on PSVR, you can still hack away at that neon block madness and grab all the old DLC. Talk about a bittersweet victory lap.
Oh, music packs? Anything from June 18th and before? Totally still there. But if you’re hoping for fresh beats after that, well, tough luck. And hey, cross-buy is still a thing between PS4 and PS5. So, kinda cool?
Lady Gaga fans, rejoice! Abracadabra is your last hurrah on PlayStation, dropping on June 5th. Apparently, it’s the end of the road for new jams over there.
And, like, multiplayer on PS4/5? Kaput on January 21st, 2026. Yeah, they rolled that out for PC VR and Quest back in 2020, and cross-play followed, but it never really hit PlayStation. Why? Who knows, but it’s a “thing.”
Meanwhile, Quest is living its best life. DLC and updates are rolling, clocking over 10 million Beat Saber sales just on Quest. Steam’s in the game too—no changes on their front.
Now, here’s the kicker. Meta’s been cozy with PlayStation, supporting Beat Saber since ’18. But pulling updates now? It’s like sending a "bye-bye" email to an ex you actually liked. A sign, maybe?
PSVR 2? Released Feb 2023, and Sony’s like, “Eh, whatever.” No fireworks, no big exclusives—totally different vibe from the original PSVR days. So devs? They’re jumping ship to bigger ponds like Quest and SteamVR. Makes sense, right?
And Sony, oh Sony, they’re letting PSVR 2 owners tinker. Now you can play PC VR games with some wired adapter doodah. Wait for it—use PSVR 2 Sense Controllers with Apple Vision Pro soon. Wild, right? Who’d have thought they’d go all open-border on us?
