Beat Saber is coming to PSVR2! This may not seem like particularly significant news, considering the game is one of the best-selling titles on PSVR – but it’s pertinent to point out that Meta purchased developer Beat Games in 2019. While the Czech studio has continued to update and support the existing PS4 version of the game, there was no guarantee that it would ever be ported to Sony’s new headset.
Speaking during a CES 2023 keynote, Jim Ryan didn’t provide a timeline or any further information about the port, like whether it’ll be a free upgrade for existing owners of the game. But the main news here is that it’s in development for PSVR2, and more details will follow at a later date.

This alone just made me preorder PSVR2.
@GigaGaia It also locked in mine (as if there was any doubt!). Just hoping for an upgrade that is free or doesn't cost the world! More than happy to buy more DLC!
Honestly I don't believe VR is at the point where exclusive games is the best strategy at the moment
Probably worth mentioning Sony allowed Marvel's Iron Man to be ported to Meta Quest 2.
My most played PSVR game. I haven't kept up with the song packs though. I bought green day and lp last.
Not a fan personally (have it on quest), but this is a big win for psvr 2, this game is huge.
Hope they release a Complete Edition with all current DLC that’s been released. Otherwise it needs to be cheap since there is so much DLC now. Also at least it might be easier, there were times I played the PSVR version and occasionally didn’t pickup me swinging one of the light controllers
Well that's me buying PSVR2 then.

Meta also acquired Iron Man VR devs, Camoflaj though Sammy, so not sure if Sony actually had the rights to the IP?
As with others above, this was what was holding me back from a preorder. Will have to speak nicely to my other half now😁
I hope it comes with an editor where you can add your own tracks, because the only thing I can't stand about beat sabre is the music, which is like saying the only thing I dislike about a FPS is the shooting.
Thank god.
I never played this on the original headset so looking forward to this
Great news. Beat Saber is one of the best VR games full stop, so it would've been a real shame if it didn't make it onto PSVR2.
@tameshiyaku I don't see it happening, considering how much they must be making from all the DLC they keep releasing.
Cool. But will that version also NEVER go on sale either?
I'm now going to buy the Lady Gaga DLC pack to celebrate! (assuming the DLC is transferable, yikes better keep waiting, d'oh!)
How was this not announced earlier Beat Saber is THE vr game
I’m in for the $70 beat saber composer’s cut.
Of course it is. Which company doesn't like more money? I would be very surprised if this is a free upgrade.
Easily the biggest win psvr2 could have hoped for.
This is fantastic news! Best VR game (ok best with Alyx ) .. already pre-ordered PSVR2 few weeks ago, cannot wait.
Yessss, was starting to get worried about this one getting ported over, since Pistol Whip got announced ages ago. Now all that's left for the rhythm trifecta is Synth Riders!
@naruball makes me wish psvr2 would also be compatible with pc, because there it's no problem.
I have it on Oculus Quest 2, far better. I can play to absolutely any music i like!! Bit of Dire Straights, Guns n Roses, Queen.
@get2sammyb It makes perfect sense for all VR platform holders to share as much as possible right now to grow the entire market. As soon as VR (hopefully) becomes really mainstream, Sony, Meta and everyone else will keep things to themselves.
