A fifth mystery song will debut "soon," although Meta nor Beat Games has specified a release date for it just yet.

All the new songs take place in the new "Lattice" environment, and Beat Games has also upgraded the level editor with what it's calling "quality of life" improvements.

  • Far Out - Lift Off
  • DragonForce - Power of the Saber Blade
  • Camellia - Tempo-Katana

In addition to the new songs, Meta Quest 3 owners can now choose to run the game in 90Hz or 120Hz modes, allowing for more fluidity when running the game at higher framerates. Furthermore, Quest 3 gamers can enjoy the newly retextured obstacles as well as general improvements to the visual quality and overall fidelity of the game's look.

This marks the first major Beat Saber update for Quest 3 players since the headset launched nearly two months ago.
