Beat Saber Update v1.36.0 with Hip Hop Mixtape releasedApr 9, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32055887/b8bd8a050e2bc3903cf18a277c5489ade01f7e75.png Hey players, An update 1.36.0 featuring the Hip Hop Mixtape is out now! The Hip Hop Mixtape is packed with some of the biggest Hip Hop classics from the past fifty years of this music genre. With such a diverse range of tracks, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Track List: 2Pac - All Eyez On Me (featuring Big Syke) Nicki Minaj - Anaconda Snoop Dogg - Gin and Juice Eminem - Godzilla (feat. Juice WRLD) Outkast - Hey Ya! The Notorious B.I.G. - Hypnotize Dr Dre - Nuthin’ But A “G” Thang Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message Pop Smoke - The Woo (feat. 50 Cent, Roddy Ricch) Hip Hop Mixtape is our very first release with uncensored tracks. That means you can experience the music in its raw, authentic form. To provide more flexibility in the game, you can use “Explicit Lyrics Toggle”. This toggle empowers you to choose your preferred in-game experience, allowing you to opt in or opt out of songs and music containing explicit lyrics. For all players across all platforms, the toggle is first introduced to the player at the start of the game (once). As a default, the player has explicit content visible, but can change this by clicking “Hide Explicit Content”. Players can change their preference later in game options. RELEASE NOTES: Added: Hip Hop Mixtape including 9 songs New environment with underground subway station with trains, graffiti, basketballs and hoops Explicit content rated 18+, can be hidden or shown with the Hide Explicit Content option in Settings -> Others tab Fixed: Songs from DLC packs that are the majority voted song will not be selected over a single voted Built-In music pack song in a Multiplayer lobby Fixed: The Music Packs thumbnail list will open over the currently selected song after failing a song in Solo and Party Mode Fixed: Missing content warning disappears after returning to the song selection screen in a Multiplayer lobby Fixed: Tutorial Prompt is not shown to the player if they close the game when the prompt is on screen Fixed: When a player changes the color of their outfit the 'Undo' option is no longer available Fixed: No songs appear when filtering songs by difficulty in Filter Parameters Fixed: Environments will appear dark/black when a player creates and selects a custom color set with no booster colors before starting the song Fixed: After failing any song, the player is able to hear the slicing sound effect when they swing their saber close to any shrinking notes Fixed: When the player is holding the trigger whilst the central menu is transitioning to the next menu, any button that appears in the location that the saber is pointing will become selected after the animation is complete. Fixed: - Favorites list is not ordered alphabetically under the "One Saber", "360 Degrees" and "90 Degrees" filters Added support for v4 beatmaps Updated auto-saving to be more reliable Beat Saber v1.35.0 Update with Daft Punk Music Pack releasedMar 7, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32055887/9a141be5c44ca6fc81551a2c7e7f28407df413ed.png Hey players, the Daft Punk Music Pack is out now! Few artists have been more requested by our community than Daft Punk; this long-awaited music pack features 10 of the duo's top hits, along with a custom environment inspired by the band's iconic 'triangle' stage design from their live shows. The tracklist includes: Around The World Around The World / Harder Better Faster Stronger (Live 2007) Da Funk / Daftendirekt (Live 2007) Get Lucky (feat. Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers) Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger Lose Yourself to Dance (feat. Pharrell Williams) One More Time Technologic The Prime Time of Your Life (Live 2007) Veridis Quo For the first time ever, we're launching live music in the game, bringing select high-energy tracks from the legendary live show Alive 2007. If you're up for a challenge, this music pack features the longest song ever released on Beat Saber - The Prime Time of Your Life (Live 2007) - it's 10 mins and 23 seconds long! New for the Daft Punk Music Pack, lasers now have physics, so if they rotate and hit a piece of geometry in the scene, the laser will stop rather than shining through objects. And the brighter a laser is, the longer its length. This works particularly well in reverse—when a laser is fading out, its length will gradually decrease. Release Notes: Fixed: Haptics don’t work in rare situations. Fixed: Incorrect recentering instructions displayed on FTUE warning for 360° mode for Rift and Steam. FTUE warning for 360° mode levels references PS5 controllers. Fixed: When filtering by Content Rating, the selected option will not show in the filter bar. Fixed: In the “Favorites” tab, if the user has less than 17 songs favorited, the song list will not appear in alphabetical order. Fixed: Changing the BPM to an extremely large number causes a crash in the Level Editor. Fixed: After exiting the Level Editor it isn't possible to start any song, instead the game will show the “error getting data” message in place of the play button. Fixed: If the Level Editor is used for an extended period of time, a message will pop up: “Beatmap Editor doesn't work with VR. Use your computer screen for editing and VR only for playtesting.” Beat Saber Hotfix v1.34.6 ReleasedFeb 16, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32055887/e7c75bdfc76d00713adc3fbdf221c9ce8ab3620d.png Hey players, we've just launched a hotfix 1.34.6.

Beat Saber v1.34.4 BETA Update ReleasedJan 19, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32055887/43b0e49c7b1592f375692e8aa7f9bd2e1e346392.png Hey players, Beta branch (1.34.4) for Beat Saber is available now. In this beta release, we're introducing modularity to facilitate the addition of new content through modules, making the development and release of new features and content more efficient. While this update may not impact the majority of players, we would like to provide some insight into it. Please share your feedback with us, and if you experience any issues during the beta, don't hesitate to let us know. Note: This Beta doesn't include any new music or feature content. Why are we doing this? When we began developing Beat Saber back in 2016, we never could have imagined its immense success and rapid growth. As a result, our game architecture was not initially equipped to handle this scale. However, as we continue to build and expand the game, with plans to provide even more content to our players, it's important we make these changes to support growth. This update is crucial for our future plans and will improve developer experience in a major way. We will be able to create builds, iterate and compile faster. Generally, the developer workflow will be faster and more streamlined. What are modules? Modules or packages are a self-contained group of assets (textures, shaders, beatmaps, songs, etc.) and scripts. For example, when launching a new music pack or feature, everything connected to this piece of content will be launched as part of a module. Releasing content as part of modules will lead to more streamlined processes and prevent us from impacting the rest of the game. What are the benefits? We can now react faster and create more content in less time. How? - We can develop game features and content (i.e. Music Packs) simultaneously and can easily adjust release timing, etc. (this is currently not easy to do). - Developer experience and processes will improve, and we will be more agile in development. - While updating a module, the change will only impact a specific module, instead of impacting the whole codebase (as it could until now). This means that the changes will be only local. - We will have much better insight into what we are changing in the game. That will allow us to see exactly which parts of code changed as we can track them down easily. Timing After launching the Beta, the LIVE update is currently planned to launch on **February 5, 2024** but we will keep everyone posted through this channel on the final release date. Please share feedback if you encounter any issues with this Beta. We want to ensure everyone's experience is as seamless as possible.

Well, now they're helping develop them, at least according to a new study from Cognitive Science which shows spending time in Beat Saber and VR in general is a tool to "promote cognitive enhancement". The study focuses on a sub-genre of VR games known as exergaming. These games - like Beat Saber - put the body through a more rigorous experience, akin to a workout. Virtual reality gaming was put up against shadow boxing videos in the test with VR proving to have positive effects where the SBVs had none on the 11 "young participants".

We're working to release the Unity Update within one or two months. In the meantime, we'll be closely watching your feedback and working on fixes to make the transition between the Unity versions as smooth as possible.

Because of this, shaders needed to be updated.
