Oculus announced that Grammy-winning band Imagine Dragons will team up with Beat Games to create a 10-track Imagine Dragons Music Pack for the popular Beat Saber music virtual reality game.
Beat Saber has sold more than a million copies, making it one of the first real hits on VR headsets. But the challenge is to keep the interest high for people who have played it ad nauseam, and that’s where the music pack comes in. In the game, you are a virtual samurai, using a couple of light swords to slice blocks that are coming at you to the beat of music.
The pack will available on all major VR platforms, including the Oculus Quest and Oculus Rift, for $2 per song or $13 for the full package.
