PC VR game, played only in VR
Beat SaberWhat do you need to play it?
Beat Saber is played only in VR: Steam lists it as "VR Only", with tracked motion controllers. A Steam key activates the Steam (PC VR) version only: it does not unlock the game on a standalone Meta Quest.
What you buy
The base game with its built-in songs. Steam lists more than 250 music DLC (single songs and packs), each sold separately.
Steam lists 280 add-ons for Beat Saber, each sold separately and none needed to play: see them on Steam (checked ).

Prices are each store's listed price in US dollars, from its own data, before any checkout fees: the lowest listed price among the stores we list, not every store. How stores sell: retailer, marketplace, official store.
Decide
- Lowest listed price: $26.63 at Eneba (marketplace); lowest at a retailer $31.69 at Loaded.
- Official store: Steam, $19.99.
- Before you buy: check your PC against the requirements in step 2 (Steam lists the graphics card under its minimum and recommended requirements); without a headset the game does not start.
