Hand-Tracking Rhythm Game ‘BEATABLE’ Exits Early Access on Quest with Major Update

Sure, let’s take a totally different spin on this.

—So, here’s the thing. XR Games just kinda let their rhythm game BEATABLE loose from early access on Quest. And man, does it come packed with stuff that’ll have you drumming on your desk to some beat only you can feel. Brilliant, right? No controllers at all. Just your good old Quest 2, some air, and your table acting like it deserves an Oscar for Best Supporting Furniture. You’re hitting notes, clapping at invisible balloons or something. Who came up with this? They deserve a cookie or something.

It’s wild because back in April—yeah, seems like ages ago—BEATABLE dropped a little five-song pack right after sneaking into early access. And now they’ve gone all out with this huge update. Imagine making your own tunes and then actually challenging your buddies to try them out. They’ve given you a song and map editor like they’re saying, “Go nuts, folks!” Now there are 24 songs to mess around with—12 of those were for those folks who got in early on the action. Some tracks are full-on anime bangers from Kudo Haruka, mixed up with heavy beats from Mikee Goodman. Check this madness out on their Spotify Playlist if you’re curious.

I remember back in the day, I tried out the early version of this adventure. It was all about precision, really—hit or miss, I guess. But, hands down, it was fun for a simple game. Now they’ve upgraded everything. The gesture detection? It’s like the game reads your mind to keep you on point. Visuals? Ultra polished, like someone really cared about aesthetics this time. It’s about $10 on the Horizon Store if you’ve got a Quest 2 or better. Just pocket change, considering the chaos you’re gonna throw down on that desk of yours.

So, there you have it. A game, a table, and probably some confused pets while you air drum to glory. Go figure.
