The highly anticipated full release of BEATABLE, the mixed reality rhythm game from XR Games (known for Starship Troopers: Extermination), is now live on Meta Quest. After spending three months in early access, the game officially launches today with a range of exciting new features, promising to elevate the tabletop rhythm experience.
Turn Any Table into an Instrument with Hand Tracking
BEATABLE transforms any flat surface into a dynamic musical instrument, using hand tracking technology to deliver an immersive rhythm game experience. Designed to make full use of mixed reality, the game cleverly blends real-world interaction with virtual beats, creating a unique setup that doesn’t require controllers or haptic accessories.
What’s New in the Full Release?
The latest update brings a host of new features aimed at enhancing both gameplay and customization:
- Custom Level Editor: Players can now create and share their own levels using songs from their personal music libraries. This opens up endless replayability and user-generated content.
- Expanded Soundtrack: The full release doubles the game’s official tracklist, expanding it to 24 songs. This includes a new anime-inspired anthem by Japanese idol Kudo Haruka, and a hard-hitting track from Mikee Goodman of the progressive metal band SikTh.
- Improved Gesture Detection & Visuals: XR Games has fine-tuned gesture recognition and visual fidelity, ensuring smoother tracking and a more polished overall look.
- New Skins: Customize your experience with fresh table designs and hand skins, adding more personality to your rhythm sessions.
A Promising Start with Strong Foundations
Early access impressions of BEATABLE were largely positive. Reviewers praised the game’s innovative use of hand tracking in mixed reality, especially its ability to deliver low-latency rhythm gameplay without relying on traditional haptics. While early builds hinted at room for polish, the full release appears to address many of those concerns.
With its official release, BEATABLE solidifies its place in the growing library of mixed reality games for the Meta Quest platform. Whether you’re a rhythm game veteran or someone looking for a fresh VR experience that blends physical space with digital beats, BEATABLE offers a compelling and customizable musical journey.
