‘Beat Saber’ Halts PSVR & PSVR 2 Updates Today, Multiplayer Ending in 2026

Okay, so picture this — Beat Saber, that rhythm game where you slice blocks to the beat like a virtual ninja — yeah, they’re cutting off updates for PSVR and PSVR 2 starting today. Seriously. No more updates. The devs, Beat Games, sent out a tweet saying they’re moving on to the “next big leap.” I guess they’re looking at the horizon or something.

Don’t panic, though. You can still play and buy the game, along with all the DLCs you’ve hoarded over the years. Everything up to June 18th is staying put. The last bit of DLC that landed was Lady Gaga’s ‘Abracadabra’—so if that’s your jam, you’re set.

And oh boy, multiplayer? It’s waving goodbye on PS4/PS5 come January 21st, 2026. Can’t say I’m surprised. Multiplayer was always a bit all over the place, and it never really synced up across ecosystems on PlayStation anyway. It’s been around on PC VR and Quest with cross-play and all, but PlayStation? Nope, never happened. Who even knows why.

Meanwhile, Quest keeps getting all the love — 10 million units sold — and Steam folks are sitting pretty, with music releases still flowing. It’s like Meta is really digging their own garden, and PSVR is just this neglected corner now.

Meta has kind of been the grumpy neighbor who doesn’t share its toys, and with this move, it feels like a nail in the coffin for PlayStation’s slice of Beat Saber. Sony hasn’t been pushing shining exclusives for PSVR 2 like they did back in the PSVR’s heyday in 2016. Developers are looking elsewhere — to platforms with bigger audiences, like Quest and SteamVR. Can’t blame them.

It’s a bit of a weird world now, with Sony letting PSVR 2 owners use a wired adapter to play PC VR games. It’s like they’re opening the gates, unlike their usual locked-console vibe. You can even use PSVR 2’s Sense Controllers with Apple Vision Pro soon. Maybe they’re playing the long game? Or just doing whatever. I don’t know, just seems like a lot of chess moves with no checkmate.
