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

Well, here we are, diving into the wacky voyage of Beat Saber’s future—or should I say, lack thereof—on PlayStation. It’s kinda one of those things where you can see the storm coming but hope maybe it’ll swerve at the last second. Spoiler: it didn’t.

So yeah, Beat Games, they just dropped the bomb on us in an X post (or is it still Twitter? Who knows these days). They’re pulling the plug on updates for PSVR and PSVR 2. Not today, Satan—actually, yes, today. And multiplayer? That’s set to disappear into the ether early next year, like your New Year’s resolutions.

You know, I always thought Beat Saber was a bit like virtual therapy—slash, slash, rhythm—get those endorphins going. But now, if you’re jamming on a PS4 or PS5, well, consider this your last dance. You can still buy the base game and all those funky music packs you snagged before they threw in the towel. But don’t hold your breath for anything new popping up. After June 18th, nada.

For those grooving to Lady Gaga’s ‘Abracadabra,’ mark it in your history books as the final swan song on PlayStation’s Beat Saber DLC lineup. Shock Drop single? More like Shock Stop single. Eh, what can you do?

And hey, just when you got used to slicing and dicing with friends, multiplayer support’s doing a Houdini on January 21st, 2026. The cross-play dream never reached PlayStation, living forever as a fevered fantasy. Meanwhile, over on PC VR and Quest… let’s just say the grass is looking pretty green.

Meta isn’t known for sharing cookies with other companies at recess, but they did keep Beat Saber grooving on PSVR since 2018. This update freeze kinda hints that they’re moving on. It’s like a breakup where someone quietly deletes your playlist.

Plus, it feels like Sony has sort of checked out, like that substitute teacher handing out coloring sheets instead of tackling algebra. PSVR 2 launched, and it feels like the support has been hitting the snooze button ever since. Developers are understandably going for the larger party crowds—who wouldn’t?

Oh, and the irony. Sony’s letting PSVR 2 players hop over to the PC VR party with a wired adapter. Ain’t that a twist? Soon enough, you can even pair your PSVR 2 Sense Controllers with Apple Vision Pro. Talk about playing the field!

And that’s all from my chaotic brain today—thanks for coming to my half-random, beat-slashing TED talk.
