New songs added to Beat Saber in free update

A free update to Beat Saber adds a new song pack and game mechanics.

OST 5 features six new songs from fan-favourite artists.

New game mechanics have also been included: arc and chain notes. Judging by the new trailer, players will now need to follow the lines between blocks with their sabers to continue a combo.

A new lighting system has also been implemented that significantly boosts the graphics. There are now 36 new maps in total in the game.

Attention! A new update packed with tons of cool stuff just landed in Beat Saber! ✨ Go get it now!
