Last night, Green Day took the stage at The Game Awards to announce their newest collaboration with Beat Saber. They announced that they were releasing a new music pack for Beat Saber, coming to all platforms tonight! This means that if you own Beat Saber through Steam, Viveport, Oculus, or the Oculus Quest Store, you will be able to purchase this pack. As a bonus for free, all Oculus platforms are going to support 360° levels and 90° levels.
The price of the Green Day Music Pack is coming in at $8.99 and will include six of their greatest hits. Inside the Green Day pack you will find:
- “American Idiot”
- “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”
- “Father of All…”
- “Fire, Ready, Aim”
- “Holiday”
- “Minority”
As for the update that is going to bring 360° and 90° levels to all platforms, you are going to see plenty of songs get support. Although it isn’t all songs like many were hoping for, it is still enough to keep any fan of Beat Saber happy for a very long time.
“VR is rock ’n’ roll—it’s fearless, it’s challenging the way things are done, it’s never taking no for an answer,” says Billie Joe Armstrong. “It’s also the most engaging and unique way for fans around the world to experience our music. Strap in!”
As for the songs with the new 360° and 90° features, all five levels of difficulty will be receiving different songs. More songs are planning on being released in the coming months with this new added feature, but for now, this is what we got.

This new update is going to change the way Beat Saber is played. This is going to broaden who plays this game and how they play it, and it is hopefully going to pull even more non-VR users to buy a virtual reality headset and play this game.
