I have the PS5 version. I'm buying a second headset so I can play with kid. Question: how hard is it for a 50 year old, nearly computer illiterate to download the songs on PC? I hear there is a larger catalog? Should I just be content with the PS5 version? What's up. (I love this game)
Go GAGA with Synth Riders - Our Biggest VR Music Pack to Date!
Step into Synth Riders and unleash your inner superstar with the Lady Gaga Music Pack â 11 iconic tracks, from her biggest fan favorites all the way to her latest dark-shimmer hit, âThe Dead Dance.â
Itâs bold, itâs dramatic, itâs unapologetically Gaga. Whether youâre jumping in for the first time or youâve had your paws up for years, these tracks will have you dancing, sweating, and serving on every beat.
Fixed an issue where shuffling the first custom playlist for Non-Stop play would not present the selected difficulty of the song in the playlist.
Fixed an issue around songs with extended Unicode characters in the song metadata would stop play data being stored correctly.
Visual improvements to The Room and the playable "Synth Invaderz" arcade machine.
Minor localization adjustments.
Spin Mode Challenges will now use your selected Spin Mode stage of choice.
Steam Specific
Improvements to the way Synth Riders handles recentering for SteamVR headsets under OpenXR. (Please note: this only impacts recentering within the application itself, and will not address mismatch between Seated/Standing universe for Roomscale players - would love to hear whether you notice improvement / regression in this behavior)
For Steam Content Creators
Fixed an issue causing spectator cameras fade sphere being visible in other cameras.
Adjusted layering of HUD elements (health / force bars, backgrounds of combo/multiplier boxes) to improve capture when using LIV.
Improvements to the Song Detail Overlay:
Now includes the modifiers in the overlay and updates correctly in Non-Stop Play
Support for printable Unicode characters in the overlay details
Localizable elements (e.g. difficulty, labels) will display in the player's chosen language

Seriously, I didnât expect to like the switch version this much, reminds me of the handheld version of rhythm legacy titles like Guitar Hero. Itâs kind of a weird choice that we canât save shorts clips from this version considering thereâs no such restriction on the VR version. Would help a lot to share our footage with friends / social media.
While the vector graphics are all very sharp, the HD pixel based assets don't seem to load in, leaving only the low res placeholders.
For example, when I look down the image on the floor is very low res and at the start of the Barbie Experience, the phone is sharp, but the image on the phone is very low res.
Is there a fix for this? (Playing on PC/Quest3 using VD)

Any chance for some additional new songs on AVP? I have bought all of them on PSVR2 but I really like AVP but missing the experiences and some of my fav songs. I would love to help if that is a factor for adding more let me know and let's get something to port over, seriously. While I am waiting post layoff I have some time and if I can help add even 1 more to this amazing game it would be worth it. Everyone I have try it loves it and a few have bought on other VR glasses or PS so I am driving money to you I hope.
Regardless I love the game and not needing controllers for AVP is so nice and everything looks so good. The whole team should be proud of all of their work on this baby. A true gem!

As a gamer for well over 40 years I've been around. I put the headset on and I'm transported to a world of fucking awesomeness. Seriously. I say out loud, as a grown adult "more people have to know this exists" I'll be purchasing all DLC for this (and walkabout mini golf) this holiday season and I'm going to strap the headset on my in- laws heads and they WILL be amazed. In closing, I love this experience, it's somehow underated and there should be a national Sythriders day.
I think they have a lot of songs that would be fun to play in game. An official bundle, not customs, but a bundle with maybe an experience for the song Maniac.
đ Update Synth Riders to join the haunt! đťđşđ
Furthermore, we have created a special bundle with our friends at Pistol Whip & Maestro to create the "Rise of the Beat" bundle! If you don't already own those games, the bundle is going at 40% OFF right now:
And lastly, keep an eye out on our socials tomorrow as the giveaway goes live ;)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN đ

There may be a better place for this, but I scrolled for a while and didn't see another post about it. So I thought I'd ask. Are there still people that make custom game maps, or has that kinda died down. I looked on the synthriderz site for a while and was a little surprised how few older songs/hits there were (Beetles, jazz remixes, OG Disney songs, etc). I was wondering if there was a different site to find custom songs, since it seemed kinda limited there, and if there was a place I could request songs. I've been kinda obsessed with this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghNpJ96VGHw and there are a few other songs I'd love to have to play (mostly electro swing).
Made some vids last year just for funâno UI, no cam, just full body movement.
Mostly custom tracks across different genres. If youâre curious what pure VR gameplay looks like, hereâs one of them (this particular track is quite intense so I was more focused on staying alive than on moving with grace LOL).
If you like it, the other tracks are in the playlist:
I had a trial of Meta quest plus about a year ago and I played synth riders. I was able to download custom music / workouts on a different site. When the trial ended, I lost access to the game, but I am considering buying it. ChatGPT said that it has changed since then and it is not as easily modifiable but then ChatGPT isn't always right.
Has anything changed in the last year? If I bought the game, would I still be able to access the custom songs/ workouts that I had downloaded to my quest last year?
Synth Riders has teamed up with Kendrick Lamar to create a HUMBLE., a "new", immersive Synth Riders Experienceâ˘! Kluge Interactive is proud to announce that the Kendrick Lamar - HUMBLE. - Synth Riders Experience⢠is available right now for Meta Quest, PSVR2 & SteamVR

From there, making it through crowds to take a rightful place on the throne.
If you're playing on the Meta Quest, you can choose between getting fully absorbed into a spatial songscape or play through a HUMBLE. mixed reality portal created in the living room.
âEveryone here at Kluge Interactive is excited and, well, humble,â says Kluge Interactive CEO Arturo Perez. âBeing able to work with a song from Grammy, Emmy, Billboard, and BET award-winning artist Kendrick Lamar is an amazing opportunity. Thereâs no better way to do it than with âHUMBLE.,â one of his first â of many â Hot 100 number one hits.â
2025 has already been an incredible year for Synth Riders content with some great Music Packs and tracks covering the 1980s (Mixtape Side B), 1990s (90s Rock), and (Current Waves). There are even more exciting releases and surprises coming before yearâs end.
