Beat Saber Coming To Oculus Quest
Virtual reality still has a long way to go before being fully embraced by the public, but Oculus’ newest headset, the Oculus Quest, has removed one of the major obstacles barring it from mainstream success; instead of being tethered to a home PC or console, the Quest is its own standalone system with no wires to worry about. Now, the Oculus Quest also has one heck of a killer app: Indie developer Beat Games announced today that it will be bringing its highly lauded, note-slicing rhythm game Beat Saber to the new system.
Kyle reviewed the PS VR version of Beat Saber last year and only had positive things to say, calling it, “one of the best experiences you can have in virtual reality.” We’re guessing that’s even more true now that you can spin around without inadvertently strangling yourself, which you can see in the trailer below. The spinning part. Not the strangling.
The Oculus Quest is slated to release sometime this spring for $399.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
