Beat Games shipped another Shock Drop on September 29, 2026: ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ viral single “APT.” is now LIVE in Beat Saber on Meta Quest and PC VR for $1.99. The studio confirmed the ADDITION in Steam community notes for update v1.45.2; UploadVR (Mike Johnson) reported the same day.
“APT.” Joins the Shock Drop Catalog
Beat Games says the TRACK was co-written by both artists and served as the lead SINGLE from ROSÉ’s debut album Rosie. The company cites more than TWO BILLION Spotify streams for the hit. In Beat Saber, it lands under the Shock Drops SECTION — the ongoing catalog of popular tracks mapped by the studio — not as a full music PACK.
Fourth Shock Drop of 2026
UploadVR notes “APT.” is the FOURTH Shock Drop this year after Yungblud’s “Zombie” (June), Bad Bunny’s “Me Porto Bonito” (February), and “Stressed Out” from Twenty One Pilots (March). That cadence keeps the catalog FRESH between larger pack releases such as Hip Hop Mixtape 2.
What Update v1.45.2 Also Ships
Steam’s release notes for v1.45.2 list the APT. addition plus several minor FIXES: Expert+ left-hand positioning on “I Like It,” incorrect preview audio on “NISSAN ALTIMA,” and a Beatmap Editor trigger fix. Nothing here redesigns the game — it is a track DROP with maintenance.
Separate From the Spring 2027 Flux Update
Do not confuse this Shock Drop with Beat Saber’s announced Spring 2027 UPDATE. That larger ship adds Flux (a hand-tracking MODE), universal hand tracking across the library, a refreshed campaign, and a progression system, and Meta has tied that window to Meta Quest and Meta VR Glasses. TODAY’s news is narrower: one licensed TRACK, AVAILABLE now at $1.99 on Quest and Steam VR.
Where to Buy
Owners with Beat Saber installed can grab “APT.” from the Shock Drops shelf on Meta Quest or Steam. Price sits at $1.99 per UploadVR and the Steam announcement. No new headset is REQUIRED — this is a CONTENT unlock for the existing game.
