And yes, customer support will continue for PlayStation players.
Community reaction: Mixed feelings
The news definitely stirred up the community. Some fans are disappointed, feeling left behind by the decision. As one user replied:
“Kind of a slap in the face to users who played on those consoles and enjoyed your game. Oh well, your loss.”

Beat Saber was created by Beat Games (from Czech Republic) and bought by Oculus Studios (Meta) in 2019. From now on, new content will only be released for Meta Quest and SteamVR platforms. Beat Saber remains available on PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and Meta Quest—but the future is clearly VR-first.
