Beat Saber is popular among millions of players around the world. Our goal is to ensure a seamless experience for our players across different age groups and align with Meta's Responsible Innovation Principles and our commitment to building safe, positive experiences for young people at the forefront. Parent-managed Meta accounts will require parents to set up an account for their 10-, 11-, or 12-year-old. Preteens won’t be able to set up an account without their parent’s approval. Parents can visit Family Center to set up an account. Read more about Meta's Introduction of New Parent-Managed Meta Accounts for Families.
Parent-managed Meta Accounts are available on the Meta Quest platform - specifically on Quest 3 and Quest 2.
* Steam and PS VR platforms, and Quest 1 are not impacted.
The age setup for your Meta Quest accounts is done on the platform level when creating a player's account. Parents can go to Family Center to get started and set up an account for their preteen. Read more about Meta's Introduction of New Parent-Managed Meta Accounts for Families.
We introduced Parent-managed Meta accounts in Beat Saber across the Meta Quest platform (Quest 3, Quest 2 and Quest Pro). Based on the account's age, songs and music packs with explicit lyrics or sensitive themes are restricted to preteen players. You can learn about explicit lyrics in the game via multiple product updates and tags.
- Explicit Lyrics Toggle: This toggle informs you about the existence of explicit content in the game. You can set up your preference at the start of the game (once) and change it later in game options.
- Explicit Content Tag: This tag is added to all songs and music packs that feature explicit lyrics (only impacted are currently the Hip Hop Mixtape and Beat Saber + Hip Hop Mixtape bundle).
- IARC Rating label: On the Meta Quest platform, IARC rating label is added to content designated for limited audiences. This currently affects the Hip Hop Mixtape and Beat Saber + Hip Hop Mixtape bundle (The mixtape has rating IARC 18+ on the Meta Quest platform). The International Age Rating Coalition (IARC) rating icons suggest age appropriateness of games and apps for countries and territories that are not represented by a participating rating authority. For more information about IARC, visit their website.
- Hip Hop Mixtape and Beat Saber + Hip Hop Mixtape bundle are not visible to users under 13 years old due to explicit lyrics and sensitive themes in some of the songs. The music pack and the bundle is visible to players who are 13+ years old. [Meta Quest Platform only]
You can also learn about the music featuring explicit lyrics outside of the game:
- Marketing texts about the Hip Hop Mixtape and Beat Saber + Hip Hop Mixtape bundle on the Meta Quest platform include a mention of explicit lyrics.
- Marketing visuals with Hip Hop Mixtape and Beat Saber + Hip Hop Mixtape bundle on the Meta Quest platform include the IARC Rating Icon (Rating IARC 18+)
- Store page for Hip Hop Mixtape and Beat Saber + Hip Hop Mixtape bundle on the Meta Quest platform include information about the explicit content and product's rating (IARC 18+).
- Hip Hop Mixtape and Beat Saber + Hip Hop Mixtape bundle include information: “Music Downloads Not Rated by the ESRB (Visit www.esrb.org for rating information)” and “Music Downloads Not Rated by PEGI”.
We introduced this toggle to provide more flexibility in the game. “Explicit Lyrics Toggle” empowers players to choose their preferred in-game experience, allowing them to opt in or opt out of songs and music containing explicit lyrics. The toggle is available on all platforms for users over the age of 13. Players using a parent-managed account for ages 10-12 on the Meta Platform (Quest 3, Quest 2 and Quest Pro) will not see the toggle and their default setting will be “Hide Explicit Content” with no option to change it. For all other users, the toggle is first introduced to the player at the start of the game (once). As a default, the player will have explicit content visible, but the player can change this by clicking “Hide Explicit Content”. Players can always change their preference later in game options.
Hip Hop Mixtape is the very first music pack release in the game that brings songs in their original version (uncensored). You can expect the same uncensored content you know from music streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, etc. The songs and the music pack with explicit lyrics are clearly tagged in the game.
On all platforms, players ages 13+ can use the “Explicit Lyrics Toggle” to select their preference at the start of the game or later in game options. On the Meta Quest platform (Quest 3, Quest 2 and Quest Pro) parent-managed accounts for players ages 10-12 don't have access to explicit lyrics and this content is hidden to them by default.
Songs in the Hip Hop Mixtape feature explicit lyrics, thus these songs can be experienced by the players in their original and uncensored form. No songs in the base game feature explicit lyrics and the base game rating stays the same (IARC - 3+ , ESRB E - Everyone and PEGI 3).
No, Hip Hop Mixtape (DLC) is offered as additional content to the game and has its own rating, independent of the rest of the game. Beat Saber base game stays rated IARC - 3+ , ESRB E - Everyone and PEGI 3.
Hip Hop Mixtape received rating IARC 18+ from the IARC board. Its content is available for players over 13+ years old. The International Age Rating Coalition (IARC) rating icons suggest age appropriateness of games and apps for countries and territories that are not represented by a participating rating authority. For more information about IARC, visit their website.
Parent-managed accounts for players ages 10–12 on the meta Quest platform (Quest 3, Quest 2 and Quest Pro) won't have access to songs with explicit lyrics. All other accounts can select their preference through the “Explicit Lyrics Toggle”. If a player from a parent-managed account or a player who opted out of explicit lyrics content joins Multiplayer with a song featuring explicit lyrics, the player will automatically join as spectator with muted audio.
No, Hip Hop Mixtape is not sold in Russia, South Korea or Taiwan.
Right now, we're not planning to retroactively add explicit versions for the songs that were previously released in Beat Saber.
Unfortunately, tracking isn't something we can influence in any way, the accuracy of the tracking depends on the platform and the device and is not connected with the game itself..
Note: Some PS VR players are experiencing problems with tracking while playing Beat Saber.
The most common situations are:
- There is too much direct light in the room
- The camera is wrongly positioned
- The colour of the environment in the game projects to your room and matches the current colour of your Move controller.
- For example: when the environment in the game is red and your Move controller has also red colour, the PlayStation Camera is not able to read the controller, thus tracking is not accurate.
- If you are experiencing this problem try to turn off your TV while playing or lower the brightness of your TV.
- If the issue still continues, it must be a hardware problem and you should contact PlayStation support.
We have seen this complaint several times and tried to replicate the situation in order to test it. In all cases, we found out that the player truly missed the note.
There is a chance the player was confused by the trail which follows after the cube, thus it seemed like the cube was cut.
If the game says 'bad cut' or 'miss' it is every time the correct information.
Beat Saber Multiplayer Cross-play is possible between Meta Quest and Steam platform.
Song FitBeat, all songs in the OST 1, OST 2, OST 3, OST 4, OST 5 and songs from Rocket League x Monstercat Music Pack are Content ID free. We plan the same for any of Beat Saber's upcoming OSTs. Unfortunately, we are not able to secure Content ID turned off for paid music packs which are coming from 3rd party labels. Since we are supporting the artists and their music, we respect their decision to keep Content ID turned on for their music.
Replace all batteries in your controllers with new ones and connect your headset to a different USB port.

The steps described above aren't working when you use any mods for Beat Saber. Unfortunately, we are not able to help you with this issue.
Unfortunately, this is not an issue on our side. Frame drops issue could be also caused by low battery or using mods. If you are using any mods, this can significantly influence performance on your Quest.
Change batteries in your controllers.

We will also stop releasing updates and provide customer support for the Quest 1 devices. If you want to access the PC version of Beat Saber on your Meta Quest 1, you can do so via the Meta Quest Link.

This is probably due to wrongly set up Floor Adjustment. Go to Game Settings and set where the floor is. After that, go to Player Settings and set up your correct height.
We plan to change this aspect in the game as it might be a bit confusing right now.
Note: If you have Floor Adjustment correctly set up, it doesn't matter if you stand too close or too far away from the point from which the cubes are coming. It doesn't have any impact on the game.
PS VR is a closed platform and custom levels together with user-generated content are currently not possible there.
We are not planning to add a level editor to the game on this platform.
