Clocking in at a one-hour-41-minute runtime, the Metallica Music Pack boasts Beat Saber’s most challenging levels. It has a dedicated environment where nearly every component can be moved and rotated to give mappers maximum control. Each pillar is made of a bent metal structure with supporting scaffoldings, and lasers and tiny light bulbs add more depth to the designs. Fire and lighting effects further help to elevate the visuals. The levels include Arc and Chain notes, and all of the songs are available in multiplayer, so you can compete with friends for the top score.
The Metallica Music Pack ushers in a new gameplay feature, Variable Note Jump Speed, which means the speed of individual cubes will change depending on the intensity of the song. This will be a regular feature of future Beat Saber levels moving forward.
The Beat Games team is also introducing improvements to controller settings as well as color override, which will let players change the color of cubes—a practical accessibility feature designed to help players who may be color blind.
New to Beat Saber? You can grab the base game bundled with the Metallica Music Pack at a discounted cost of $39.99 USD until January 31, 2025, when it will go full price at $44.99 USD.
Sleigh on.
