In an exciting update for Beat Saber enthusiasts, the beloved 2018 rhythm game has just introduced a massive Metallica music pack, bringing some of the legendary band’s most iconic tracks to the virtual reality arena. Known for its engaging and dynamic gameplay, Beat Saber has successfully captured the hearts of VR fans worldwide, and this new addition is set to elevate the experience even further.
The Metallica Music Pack is turning heads not only for its content but also for its price point. At $20 for a robust collection of 17 songs, or $2 each if purchased individually, it marks one of the largest and priciest expansions for the game. To put it in perspective, earlier music packs for Beat Saber typically capped at $15 and offered a smaller selection of around a dozen tunes.
What makes this particular pack worth every cent is the inclusion of some of Metallica’s greatest hits. Fans will be thrilled to slash their way through tracks like “Enter Sandman,” “Nothing Else Matters,” and “Master of Puppets,” culminating in an impressive total playtime of one hour and 41 minutes.

– Atlas, Rise!

Each song promises a unique atmosphere with a custom environment designed to mirror Metallica’s live performances. Picture vividly dynamic backdrops adorned with bent metal structures, supported by scaffoldings, and featuring stunning laser, fire, and lighting effects.
Adding to the excitement, Meta-owned developer Beat Games has highlighted that this DLC includes some of the most demanding levels that the game has seen thus far. For those up for the challenge, the Metallica Music Pack offers more than just intense tracks. It integrates Arc and Chain notes and supports multiplayer action. Plus, it introduces a fresh gameplay element: the ‘Variable Note Jump Speed’. This new feature tweaks the speed of incoming blocks in response to the song’s intensity, ensuring that the gameplay remains as challenging as it is thrilling.
Beat Games has also revealed that Variable Note Jump Speed and the newly implemented option to change block colors will become staple features in future Beat Saber levels.

The base game, normally priced at $30, is bundled with the Metallica Music Pack for a limited time at just $40. This offer is available until January 31st, 2025, after which it will go back to its full price of $45.
