How to Add New Beat Saber Songs: Download and Install Custom Maps
Beat Saber comes with a great selection of music, but if you're tired of the usual repertoire, we're here to show you how to add new songs to the game, including a step-by-step breakdown on how to find, download, and install custom maps.
Beat Saber has become an absolute phenomenon in the world of rhythm games. Four years after its release, the game is more popular than ever and has been downloaded over four million times across all platforms.
If you're among those four million and want to add a little something new to the game's 120+ tracklist, then we've got everything you need to know to get started.
How to Add New Songs and Maps to Beat Saber on PC
As you may already know, Beat Saber tracks come in the form of new "cards" - it's just an insider name for each individual block and wall song.
One thing to note about adding anything new to Beat Saber is that you need to find a secure hosting site before downloading anything.
For this purpose, we recommend beat saver, as it is a well-known resource that has been verified by the modding community.
There are two ways to add new tracks to PC: you can either use the program ModAssistantto do the work for you, or you can manually add songs to the game yourself.
If you are using ModAssistant, here is what the process will look like:
- Download and open the assistant program.
- Find on the left side of the screen Options menu and click on it
- Find "Enable OneClick Installation” and make sure the checkbox is checked and that BeatSaver is an approved source.
- Save your changes before going to the BeatSaver website.
- Find the song you want to download and use the OneClick button to download it.
Here you go! Once you do this, your song should be automatically added to the Beat Saber catalog.
How to Manually Add New Songs to Beat Saber
For players who would rather skip installing another program, the end result will be the same, but you'll have to do the footwork for each new song:
- Go to website beat saver and download the zip file for the song you are looking for.
- Extract the zip file as a folder and rename this folder с song title.
- Open BeatSaber folder on your computer and enter the new song in the "CustomLevels» game files.
You may have to restart the game after doing this, but the song will now be a permanent item in your collection.
How to Add New Songs and Custom Maps to Oculus Quest
Downloading new tracks for Oculus Quest players is a much more complicated process.
Before you can get started, you will need to install an Oculus modding kit such as sidequest, and a patch program such as BMBF, for songs to get into the game.
If you've done this and are ready to include the tracks in your game, the steps become much less confusing from there:
- Open the in-game browser to connect to Beat Saber and find the right song.
- Use OneClickInstallto add files directly to the game.
- Find a song on your tracklist to make sure everything went well.
After all this work, you will be free to play the downloaded track or go hunting and start expanding your library.
