Beat Saber is a VR rhythm game that was released in 2018. You use the controllers to swing lightsabers in time with the beat. We loved it!
Last month, the game saw the addition of the Imagine Dragons Music Pack. This DLC added 10 different tracks from the popular band into the game, giving fans of the band a chance to test their skills while playing some of their favorite songs. Each song in the music pack is available for $1.99 on the PlayStation Store or as part of a bundle which includes both the music pack and game for $39.99.
