But I <em>am</em> going to infer it, without evidence, before immediately moving on to what the sweaty sword-slashing rhythm game can expect when said update lands in Spring of 2027.</p> <p>First and foremost is an entire new mode, Flux. This sees Beat Saber ditch the sabers and dial up the beating, demanding your own bare hands punch, prod, and slap their way through notes. A Beat Saber Unarmed build, basically. Looks fun! If probably no less tiring.</p> <p><a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/steam-frame-ready-vr-rhythm-game-beat-saber-is-adding-hand-tracking-and-a-punchy-new-mode-in-its-biggest-update-ever">Read more</a></p>
