‘Beat Saber’ Ends PSVR & PSVR 2 Updates Today, Multiplayer to Close in 2026

Alright, so here’s the scoop. Meta’s Beat Games just dropped a bit of a bombshell. You know, that block-chopping game Beat Saber? Yeah, it’s not getting any more love on PSVR and PSVR 2. No updates, nothing. As of today, it’s all about looking ahead or whatever. They’ve decided—was it a tough call? Dunno, but anyway—to cut off updates for the PS4/PS5 versions. Bold move? Maybe. Maybe not.

Oh, and multiplayer? That’s going offline too. Not tomorrow, or next month, but early next year. So there’s time to enjoy the flashy lights with friends before it goes poof. Sad? Kind of, but life moves on, right?

They’ve reassured fans that even after today’s news, you can still play Beat Saber on those platforms, snagging any already-bought songs and such. Which, I guess, is some silver lining. Side note—why do I always picture that floating helmet guy when I think about this game? Weird.

Anyway, if you loved that Lady Gaga beat—yep, the ‘Abracadabra’ one—well, savor it, because it’s the last of its kind for PlayStation users. Sounds dramatic, I know, but hey, it’s the truth. Oh, and fun fact—cross-buy stays, so if you switch between PS4 and PS5, you’re good.

Now, multiplayer’s a whole other beast. Come January 21st, 2026, it’s lights out for that on the consoles. It’s been around since 2020, but the dream of playing across ecosystems? Never made it to PlayStation. Sigh.

Meanwhile, Quest users are kinda sitting pretty. Meta’s gonna keep feeding them new beats. And Steam too. So, if you’re there, congrats—more tunes for you.

A bit ironic, really. Meta’s been in the PSVR game since 2018, and now? It’s like, bye! Guess that playground’s got fewer swings now or something.

And Sony? They’ve kind of been chilling since PSVR 2 came out earlier this year. Fewer must-have exclusives, more of a “meh” vibe. Some say it’s why devs aren’t buzzing around PSVR 2 like bees to honey. Bigger ponds, more fish, as my grandpa never said.

Speaking of which, did you hear about Sony letting folks use their PSVR 2 on PCs with a wired adapter? Totally against the usual console rules. And PSVR 2 controllers might buddy up with Apple Vision Pro soon too. Talk about mixing it up.

Ah, the world of tech. Never a dull moment.
