How to Download Beat Saber Custom Songs

Expanding Your Playlist: The Ultimate Guide to Beat Saber Song Downloads

Beat Saber is undoubtedly one of the greatest virtual reality games of all time, combining high-energy rhythm gameplay with the visceral thrill of slicing blocks with glowing plasma sabers. However, once you have sliced your way through the base game’s official tracklist, you will likely find yourself hungry for more music.

Fortunately, Beat Saber features one of the most passionate modding and mapping communities in gaming. Downloading custom songs allows you to play virtually any song in existence—from anime theme songs and classic rock to modern chart-toppers.

Where to Find Custom Songs

Before diving into downloads, you need to know where the community houses its creations.

• BeatSaver.com: This is the primary hub where community mappers upload all published maps. You can filter tracks by genre, difficulty, curation status, and popularity.
• BeastSaber (bsaber.com): A companion community site that highlights curated maps, mapper profiles, and themed playlists to help you find top-tier content without wading through endless search results.

How to Download and Install Custom Songs

The installation process varies slightly depending on whether you play on PCVR (Steam/Oculus PC) or a Meta Quest standalone headset.

1. For PCVR Users (Steam & Oculus PC)

PC modding is streamlined thanks to community-managed tools like ModAssistant or BSManager.

1. Launch the base game at least once, then close it.
2. Download and open ModAssistant or BSManager.
3. Enable “OneClick Installs” within the tool’s options.
4. Head over to BeatSaver.com, find a track you love, and click the One-Click Install icon (which looks like a cloud with an arrow). The manager will automatically route the unzipped folder straight into your CustomLevels directory.

2. For Meta Quest Standalone Users

Standalone Quest modding requires a bit more setup due to Meta’s closed ecosystem security, typically managed via tools like ModsBeforeFriday (MBF) or platform-specific helper apps.

1. Follow the official Beat Saber Modding Group (BSMG) guide to properly mod your Quest version.
2. Once modded, you can use the In-Game Song Downloader mod found directly inside your game’s menu to search, preview, and download custom tracks on the fly.

Pro-Tips for the Best Experience

• Watch the Difficulty Spread: Community-made maps aren’t officially regulated, meaning a “Normal” difficulty by one mapper might feel like an “Expert+” nightmare to another. Check the note-per-second (NPS) ratings before diving in.
• Keep Your Game Backed Up: Major official updates to Beat Saber frequently break game mods. Always check community status updates before updating your game so you don’t lose access to your custom library.
