In November 2019, Beat Games joined Meta in its quest to bring VR to more people around the world. On July 14, 2022, we are updating the Beat Games End User License Agreement because Meta Platforms, Inc. (or Meta Platforms Ireland Limited for European Region users, including users in the United Kingdom) will become responsible for the Beat Saber game. Below, you can find a preview of the updated End User License Agreement, and we recommend that you review it. By continuing to play Beat Saber after July 14, 2022, you agree to the updated End User License Agreement.
