Beat Saber Adds 35-Song Flux Mode With Hand Tracking for Spring 2027

2 articles · Updated · roadtovr.com · Sep 24

Summary

  • Spring 2027 will bring Beat Saber’s Flux update to Meta VR Glasses and Quest, turning the rhythm game into a hand-tracking-focused single-player mode instead of its usual saber-based play.
  • Flux replaces sabers with hand powers such as the Flux Tether, adds rod-style notes and color-coded punch notes, and builds “Jolt” energy for score boosts as players clear songs.
  • 35 songs from the Original Soundtracks, Extras and Anniversary packs will be available at launch, and Meta says more Flux tracks are planned after release.
  • The update will still support Touch controllers and also adds an enhanced Campaign mode with light narrative elements, plus new barriers, missions, rewards and a faster menu system.
  • The release is timed to Meta’s next-generation VR Glasses, unveiled at Connect, where hand tracking is central to gameplay on a headset expected to arrive without bundled controllers.
