What is Beat Saber?
Beat Saber is a VR rhythm game developed by Beat Games (Prague) and launched in 2018. Players wield two lightsaber-style controllers and slash flying colour-coded blocks in time with music, ducking under and side-stepping walls. Its physical, cardio-inducing gameplay made it the breakout hit of the modern VR era; Facebook (now Meta) acquired Beat Games in 2019 for its content pipeline.
