Beat Saber, the popular virtual reality rhythm game, has been a favorite among gamers since its release in 2018. With its unique gameplay that combines music and sword-swinging action, it has garnered a dedicated fan base and continues to attract new players with its regular updates and music packs.
The latest music pack for Beat Saber, released on October 28th, marks the end of support for the original Oculus Quest headset, also known as Quest 1. This news comes as a disappointment to many Quest 1 owners who have been enjoying the game on their headset since its launch.
The decision to end support for Quest 1 is not entirely surprising, as the headset is now over two years old and has been succeeded by the more powerful Quest 2. With the release of the Quest 2, developers have shifted their focus to optimizing their games and experiences for the newer headset, which offers improved performance and graphics capabilities.
While Quest 1 owners may be disappointed by this news, it is important to remember that technology moves quickly in the world of virtual reality. As new headsets are released and older models become obsolete, developers must make decisions about where to allocate their resources and support.
For Beat Saber players who are still using Quest 1, this latest music pack will be the last update they receive for the game on their headset. However, they can still enjoy all of the existing content and gameplay that Beat Saber has to offer, as well as any future updates that may be compatible with Quest 1.
As virtual reality continues to evolve and improve, it is likely that we will see more instances of older headsets losing support from developers. While this can be disappointing for some players, it is a natural progression in the world of technology.
For now, Quest 1 owners can continue to enjoy Beat Saber on their headset and look forward to the exciting new experiences that virtual reality has in store for them in the future. And who knows, maybe one day they will upgrade to a newer headset and experience Beat Saber in a whole new way.
