Beat Saber Vr V1.37.4

Beat Saber V1.37.4 is not a flashy update, but it’s a necessary one. It makes the game more reliable for online play, runs better on Quest 3 and lower-end PCs, and fixes several annoying interface bugs. If you’re a vanilla player or rely on leaderboards, update without hesitation. If you’re deep into the PC modding scene (especially visual mods), hold off until mod authors catch up – which for 1.37.4, they largely have, except for edge cases like CameraPlus.

For the average Beat Saber enthusiast, 1.37.4 feels like the game “just working” – and that’s a good thing.

As of April 2026, Beat Saber V1.37.4 is the standard current patch for the game. This guide covers core mechanics, performance tips, and the status of custom content for this version.  1. Mastering Core Gameplay 

The "Wrist" Technique: Beginners often use their entire arms, which is exhausting for fast songs. To improve stamina and hit speed, keep your elbows relatively stable and flick your wrists to make the cuts.

Swing Angle & Scoring: Points are based on your swing angle before (90°) and after (60°) the cut, plus how close you are to the center of the block. A "full" swing earns up to 115 points per block.

No-Fail Mode: If you are struggling with a specific song, toggle the "No Fail" modifier in the left-hand menu. This allows you to finish the track and practice the patterns without being kicked out.  2. Custom Songs & Modding Status  Beat Saber VR V1.37.4

Version 1.37.x is generally stable for modding on PC VR, while Quest users may need specific tools. 

PC VR (Steam/Oculus): Use BSManager to manage different versions of the game and install custom maps easily.

Standalone Quest: Modding version 1.37.x typically requires tools like MBF (QuestPatchers) or QuestPatcher. Check the BSMG (Beat Saber Modding Group) Discord for the latest compatible builds.

Map Sources: Download new tracks from BeatSaver to expand your library beyond official DLC.  3. Platform-Specific Updates 

Meta Quest: Supports cross-buy across the Meta family (Quest 2, 3, Pro, and Rift). Beat Saber V1

PlayStation VR (PS4/PS5): Note that support is ending. Updates for PlayStation consoles are set to cease after June 2025, and multiplayer functionality for these platforms will be disabled on January 21, 2026.  4.

First, the vanilla perspective. If you don't mod, here’s what 1.37.4 brings to the table over, say, 1.34:

The user interface saw subtle changes: the play button was relocated, the song selection wheel increased responsiveness, and the settings menu added a “Mod Assistant Compatibility Mode” toggle (though hidden by default). This last change was a quiet acknowledgment of the modding scene. First, the vanilla perspective

By 1.37.4, the following official packs are available (no new pack in this patch, but all prior ones included):

Historically, the modding community tends to lag 3–6 months behind the latest official release. At the time of writing, the core maintainers of BeatLeader have announced that they are working on a rewrite for the V1.40 codebase. However, the introduction of Meta’s OS-wide anti-cheat for Quest Link could make PC modding more difficult by late 2025.

Therefore, V1.37.4 may remain the de facto standard for serious modders for the next 12–18 months. If you have a working modded setup on this version, do not auto-update.

Version 1.37.4 did not introduce new gameplay content (songs or blocks). Instead, it focused on backend optimization.

No version is perfect. Here are the common pain points reported by the community:

Beat Saber v1.37.4 is a maintenance update focused on stability, minor fixes, and compatibility improvements for both official content and community-created mods/maps. Useful points to know:
