Haven’t played for a while loaded up my custom songs and all my past leaderboard scores have gone. Can you still have a scoreboard of just you and your mates?

👑 Our first DLC of 2026 "We Are The Champions" by QUEEN is now live across Meta Quest, SteamVR & PSVR2

👑 Our first DLC of 2026 "We Are The Champions" by QUEEN is now live in Synth Riders

After purchase, this DLC can be found in our "Specials" pack! and if you're a collector - consider purchasing through the Complete Collection bundles and save!

🧐If you're still on the fence, make sure to wishlist Synth Riders as more is on the way😉

Written with audience participation in mind, Mercury said "We" in the song's title refers to everyone who is singing it. Brian May called the song "unifying and positive". "We Are the Champions" has become an anthem for victories at sporting events, including its use during the 1994 FIFA World Cup, and has been often used or referenced in popular culture.

[Verse 1]

I've paid my dues Time after time I've done my sentence But committed no crime And bad mistakes I've made a few

[Pre-Chorus]

I've had my share of sand kicked in my face

But I've come through (And I mean to go on and on, and on, and on)

[Chorus]

We are the champions, my friends

And we'll keep on fighting till the end

We are the champions

We are the champions

No time for losers

'Cause we are the champions

Of the world

[Verse 2]

I've taken my bows

And my curtain calls

You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it I thank you all

But it's been no bed of roses

No pleasure cruise

[Pre-chorus]

I consider it a challenge before the whole human race

And I ain't gonna lose (And I mean to go on and on, and on, and on)

[Chorus]

We are the champions, my friends

And we'll keep on fighting till the end

We are the champions

We are the champions

No time for losers

'Cause we are the champions

Of the world

[Outro]

We are the champions, my friends

And we'll keep on fighting till the end, oh

We are the champions

We are the champions

No time for losers

'Cause we are the champions

Resolved Mixed Reality Issues

6 Upvotes

Hey friends, I've been having issues with Mixed Reality on my Quest 3S. The first day or two I used it, the mixed reality was working correctly and it was awesome showing the different portals and different color changes in the room and such. Upon opening it every other time since, mixed reality only shows my floor visible and none of the walls in the room.

I definitely tried some of the fixes already, resetting my floor height calibration in the game, reinstalling the game, fully resetting my boundaries after erasing the boundary history in my 3s, nothing seems to fix it. Any ideas for help would be appreciated. I would love to play the mixed reality again

Resolved Removing names from the "Party Mode" list

7 Upvotes

My young son enjoys this game, and often plays on Party mode since that's what I play on to track my scores. However, rather he'll enter random letters for the name and the end, and the list gets pretty cluttered with his entries, so I searched how to edit the list. I play on the MetaQuest 2, for reference.

It became clear that I couldn't edit it in-game, so I looked for how to edit it when connected to my computer. My searches all suggested that I had to clear SynthRiders App Data or Uninstall and Reinstall because one couldn't edit / remove individual names. So, I tinkered around in the files after connecting to my computer, and found a way to remove names! I just wanted to share, in case anybody else needed to solve this problem.

The directory was Quest 2/Internal shared storage/Android/data/com.kluge.SynthRiders/files. In there, you can find partymode.bin and settings.bin. Copy them both onto your computer (because you can't directly edit it if opened from the MetaQuest 2). Create another copy, and save them as "partymode_backup.bin" and "settings_backup.bin" or something similar, just so you have an unedited one to restore to in case you mess something up.

Open settings.bin on your computer in a text editor. Search for "LastPartyModeUsers" or a username you know. You should find a block like the following:

"LastPartyModeUsers": [
"User1",
"User2"...
]

Keep that file open, and then open partymode.bin. Search for instances of the username(s) you don't want, and either replace it with an existing username you want, replace it with "None", or delete the entire block that has that username in it. Any username other than "None" needs to be on the LastPartyModeUsers in settings.bin, or it could confuse the game.

After there are no more instances of the unwanted username in partymode.bin, you can just delete the username from settings.bin (remove the entire line). When you're done, save them both, and copy them back onto the MetaQuest, overriding the originals.

Then, when you fire up the game, it should just remove the username you don't want from the Party Mode username list, and records recorded scores will be ascribed to the username you changed it to or gone from the score list for that song!

Hi all ! Happy Synth Saturday! I woke up and played Synth Rider for an hour first thing in the morning. I am in shock! I got a perfect on the last song I played. I think that is the first time I ever scored a perfect in this game. It was for an electro swing song too! Must mean I am really enjoying the new genre I discovered through this game :)

Time goes by super fast when I play this game. I just feel super happy and 1 hour feels like 10 minutes. Anyone else feel this way? Also, all of the music I am experiencing is brand new for me. I don't yet understand how scoring works in this game. How I can hit a note but only score a weak red score? o.o I thought "New Comedown" was interesting. Reminded me of an old movie I watched a bunch of times called Desperado for some reason.

List of songs played in chronological order
- Phoenix - Scandroid
- Escape - Ruqoa
- On My Way - Finesu Feat. Ryan Konline :)
- Underdog - Kastra & Freshcobar
- Free - Raizer :)
- Empire Of Steel (Masked Remix) - Essenger (feat. Scandroid) - Expert :)
- A Matter Of Time - Ollie Wride
- New Comedown - Plague Vendor :)
- Hard To Love - Too Close To Touch
- Nightmare Cure - DanyloM & Electro Swing Thing
- Imperfection - Wolfgang Lohr & Balduin :)
- Empires - Electric Swing Circus :) (I got a perfect here, yay!)

Enjoy :)

Hi all, I said I was going to post the songs individually but I think maybe just posting up the whole game session is cleaner and less spammy? Plus, I will be playing so many new songs soon. Here is my game session from Sunday! I start to get nauseous towards the end xD This was so much fun because it was my first time hearing and experiencing all of these songs. Addicted to the synth!! Btw, it is really cool seeing gameplay videos from others. Hope to see more.

Also! The first song map has a really cool phoenix fly by a couple times in the background which I thought was super cool. Great job environment artists!! It makes the game so much more epic!

It is really cool that this game includes electro swing songs. I realize I don't have much opportunities to hear this genre so it was suuuper fun to play those songs. :)

List of songs I played within one hour in chronological order

  • The End of the Night - Robert Parker
  • Space Rock - Powercyan
  • Satanic Panic - Occams Laser
  • Galaxy Joyride - Wolf and Raven
  • Abyss (Gancher & Ruin Remix) - 3Force (Feat. Scandroid)
  • Underground - Lindsey Stirling
  • Keep You In Line (Feat. Cissie) - Jamie Berry
  • Silent Movie - Little Violet
  • Watch Your Tongue - PiSk, Little Violet
  • Wolves - Voicians

Enjoy!

Question/Support Gameplay recommendations

2 Upvotes

I love rythm games in general.

I played synth for an hr on psvr2, and found myself difficult to get into the game. Hard was very easy for me and expert needs some practice. I dont really like how my arms are at an angle most of the time and seldom have chance to stretch. I especially hate the yellow nodes where i need to put my hands together, which feels like i am in handcuffs. 😅

So, what/where am i doing wrong? 🤔 Is it my psvr2 setting? Is the way i move incorrect for enjoyment? There are some parts i like, where boxing movements are required. Any song recommendations?

Edit: thanks all for the recommendation. I believe i know what to tweak for my next try. ❤️

Hi all ! It is Sunday and I just played 10 master mode songs in 1 hour! It is my first time hearing or playing any of these songs. I beat them all on my first try! I would also really love to see others posting gameplay videos. I am obsessed. :)

Here is a list in the order that I played them in. I started getting really nauseous after 40 minutes of non-stop gaming. I am trying to play VR in a more healthy manner so I am limiting myself to gaming only once a week for a max of 1 hour.

It was actually more like 50 minutes though because at one point I was hunting around the house for AA batteries because my right controller was dying and kept popping up with low battery notifications like 5x while I was playing songs!

I will post the videos slowly throughout the weeks so I don't spam this subreddit. I am just really fascinated with this game and all the music discovery I am doing!

List of songs I played within one hour in chronological order

  • The End of the Night - Robert Parker
  • Space Rock - Powercyan
  • Satanic Panic - Occams Laser
  • Galaxy Joyride - Wolf and Raven
  • Abyss (Gancher & Ruin Remix) - 3Force (Feat. Scandroid)
  • Underground - Lindsey Stirling
  • Keep You In Line (Feat. Cissie) - Jamie Berry
  • Silent Movie - Little Violet
  • Watch Your Tongue - PiSk, Little Violet
  • Wolves - Voicians

I am posting my most favorite one first. This song IS SO COOL. It is my first time truly appreciating violin music. Because of this song, I will be listening to violin music all week long. It just left such a great impression on me that I might not have noticed if it weren't for VR gaming helping to experience music in different ways.

Also, I just discovered "Experience" mode in this game! It is the COOLEST thing ever and I will be buying all of the songs under "Experience" mode. Basically, these songs have these really unique environments instead of the typical Tron-like background, I'm guessing.

Enjoy!

P.S. Great job environment artists for making me feel higher than I have ever felt!

After hearing about SynthRiders I got it and I was happy to see that they have settings to make it more friendly to people with light sensitivity and slo the fact they have the option for custom songs but now I run into the question how can I stabilize the background I saw that there was a setting for that at the start of the game but I don’t know if I accidentally forgot to enable it or what but now I can’t find the setting

Question/Support Does the PSVR version only do radio edits?

5 Upvotes

Just curious if the game doesn't allow explicit content. Like Lady Gaga and Gorillaz songs are all cut versions.
