Hey players,

Today we're pulling back the curtain on the biggest update in Beat Saber's history — a brand new mode, a brand new way to play, and a lot more.

**Flux — an all-new way to play**

Flux is the biggest addition since Beat Saber's full release in 2019. It's a new single-player experience built around hand tracking, where your hands become the weapons.

You'll wield Flux Powers like the Flux Tether, which channels power between your palms to slice through notes in time with the beat. That power also surges to your left and right hands, which you'll use to punch through other note targets. Destroying notes builds Jolt energy — squeeze your fists while slicing to trigger a Jolt and earn big scores.

Prefer controllers? Flux supports them, too.

Flux launches with 35 songs from the Original Soundtracks, Extras, and Anniversary packs — including tracks from Lindsey Stirling, Teminite, DragonForce, Haywyre, Camellia, and Boom Kitty, plus in-house tracks from Jaroslav Beck and Zakka G. More Flux songs are planned after launch.

**A refreshed Campaign**

We've completely refreshed the single-player Campaign for new and veteran players alike. It now weaves in a light narrative element, brings new barriers and missions, and adds checkpoints that let you unlock exclusive in-game rewards.

The user interface got the same treatment — a new menu system that gets you into game modes and new content faster, plus an improved experience for first-time players.

**First-ever progression and rewards, including New Sabers! **

For the first time in Beat Saber, an all-new progression and rewards system. Earn cosmetic rewards including new New Sabers, Notes, Bombs,, and show off your personality and achievements with Profile Badges and Banners. It's all tracked in a new inventory system, so you can swap them in and out as you see fit.

**A new look**

This update also debuts Beat Saber's first logo redesign in nearly a decade, along with new key art. It's a new era for the game — and we kept the red and blue energy you know.

**Universal hand tracking**

For the first time, you can play all of Beat Saber without controllers. High-fidelity hand tracking lets you slice across the entire song library with your bare hands. Controllers aren't going anywhere — this is one more way to play, not a replacement.

**When?**

This update is coming in spring 2027 to Meta Quest, Meta VR Glasses and Steam.

Hey players,

Update v1.44.2 is now available. With this release, Beat Saber has officially transitioned from Unity's legacy Built-in Render Pipeline to the Universal Render Pipeline (URP). This is the same upgrade that has been available on the public beta branch over the past months, and we want to thank everyone who participated in testing and provided feedback — your contributions were invaluable in making this transition as smooth as possible.

URP is a modern, flexible, and high-performance rendering solution that enables us to better customize and extend the rendering process to meet the needs of Beat Saber going forward.

This update also includes a number of bug fixes across platforms. Please see the release notes below for further details.

Known Issue:

- _Level Editor _- If the player leaves the headset idle and selects the play button while FPFC is not active, the editor will briefly load the level and then return to the editor view where the level will have disappeared and can no longer be interacted with. Reloading any difficulty from the difficulty select will cause the editor environment to continuously load.

Legacy 1.44.1_legacy build available.

If you encounter any issues or notice anything unusual, please report the problem using this form: [https://forms.gle/pJsepEJo6az35QHY9](https://forms.gle/pJsepEJo6az35QHY9)

Your feedback is very important to us and helps us ensure a smooth transition to URP for all players.

**HOW TO JOIN THE BETA BUILD**

Right-click on Beat Saber in the library -> Properties -> Betas -> Choose the urp-beta -> Update the game

Once you are done testing, don't forget to switch back to the Live branch the same way you joined the beta to continue playing the current stable version.

**FAQ**

How to test?

Play the game as usual.

Why do you need beta testing?

Switching to URP is a big step. Your feedback directly helps us prepare a smooth live release.

How to report any issue?

Describe the issue or anything unusual as detailed as possible using this form:

[https://forms.gle/pJsepEJo6az35QHY9](https://forms.gle/pJsepEJo6az35QHY9)

When will the URP build be delivered to the Live branch?

We don't have a release date yet because we need to make sure everything is properly tested and ready.

**RELEASE NOTES:**

**Known Issues:**

- Potential performance issues - improvements are expected from the last URP beta, but in specific cases there could be differences in comparison to the Live version

- Bigscreen Beyond will still exhibit rendering issues - this will be addressed in a future update
