What is Beat Saber VR?

In Beat Saber, you stand in front of a track where blocks travel towards you in time with the music. Each block has an arrow indicating which direction to hit to smash it. There are two colors of blocks: red and blue, which match the color of the two light sabers you hold in the game (usually red for left and blue for right). On top of this, you have to avoid various obstacles by ducking and leaning, which provides a full-body workout!

Getting started with Beat Saber VR – Step by Step

This guide for Beat Saber is made in image and text to make it easy to recognize yourself in the game.

The first thing you see when you open the game is a safety message. I would encourage you to take the time to read through this.

In the next step, you will see a screen with five different boxes in front of you. Here, click on SOLO to move on.

When the next screen opens, it can seem quite confusing, you see several screens at the same time. But we’ll take it step by step and I’m going to start by explaining what it is you see if you turn your head to the left. Here you will find “Modifiers” where you can change the difficulty level of your game.

In Modifiers you adapt the game to the level you are at

If “Modifiers” is not selected, click on that tab. Now you can for example choose No Fail to not lose lives because you make mistakes, you can turn off so you avoid bombs and walls. You can also turn off the arrows (No Arrows) in the blocks. If you use No Arrows, it is enough that you hit the blocks, you do not have to worry about hitting them in a specific direction. If you are a beginner, my tip is to use No Fail for a while and maybe also No Arrows.

Now that you have chosen which obstacles you want to remove, look straight ahead. You will then see a picture where at the top you see a vertical row with the albums you have access to (OST VOL. 1, OST VOL. 2, etc.) Below that, to the right, you have a box where the name of the album is now written, we will look at this in more detail in the next step. On the left, on the other hand, you have a list of the songs that are in the album you selected. Select a song here before moving on to the next step.

Select game mode and difficulty level

Once you have selected a song, you will see the box on the right change. You are now presented with your selected song and the options you can choose for that song.

You will find a row of slightly different game modes illustrated in symbols, you can for example play with two sabers (normal), one saber, 360 and others. Of course you should try them all but initially I recommend playing with two sabers.

Below this you will see the difficulty levels you can choose. There are 5 difficulty levels, however, not all are available on all songs. As a beginner, it is advisable to choose songs where the difficulty levels Easy or Normal are available.

You are ready to start the first round of Beat Saber

Now you have chosen which obstacles you want to remove, you have chosen the song. selected the two-sword game mode and chosen the difficulty level. Now only one thing remains, to press PLAY.
