Who would have thought one VR’s hottest video games was coming to Sony’s next-gen VR headset? In all probability everybody, however now the corporate has confirmed it’s certainly bringing Beat Saber to PSVR 2.
Introduced throughout Sony’s CES 2023 keynote, Beat Saber is claimed to be “in improvement” for PSVR 2, a sport created by the Meta-owned studio Beat Video games.
There’s a couple of extra questions nonetheless in want of answering between now and PSVR 2’s February twenty second launch although—one specifically: is Meta going to supply PSVR 2 assist as a free improve to house owners of the sport on PSVR? Sony is mum on the topic for now, with extra info promised someday in “the close to future.”
There’s a rising record of video games getting free PSVR 2 upgrades, and we’d like to see the block-slashing rhythm sport amongst them. In any case, backwards compatibility isn’t a factor with PSVR 2…
Launched in 2018 on Rift, SteamVR, and PSVR, Beat Saber nearly instantly turned the medium’s most recognizable title, and it’s nonetheless chugging years later. It often tops PSVR’s most downloaded charts, and was even in the newest record of top-selling VR video games on Steam—a testomony to its continued energy throughout all VR platforms.
It will make a great deal of sense that it’ll certainly come as a free improve, as Beat Saber’s income mannequin may be very a lot tied to its steady paid DLC releases, which often supply up music packs from a number of the world’s main pop artists. Asking a PSVR proprietor to purchase a base sport and a whole bunch of {dollars} of DLC they already personal can be a reasonably dicey maneuver to say the least.
In any case, it seems Meta is sticking with its promise to verify Beat Saber persists as VR’s premier cross-platform title, although there’s no telling whether or not they charged Sony a reasonably penny to make it occur.
