Cyberpunk 2077 Story Mode

A rhythm action masterpiece with no story mode or narrative campaign.

There is no official 'Story Mode' or narrative campaign within Beat Saber. The game is a rhythm-based action title where players slash incoming blocks to the beat of licensed music tracks, without any overarching plot, characters, or story-driven progression. While the game features various worlds and visual themes, these serve purely as aesthetic backdrops for gameplay rather than vehicles for a narrative experience.

Lore & Background

The integration of the Cyberpunk 2077 music pack brings tracks like 'I Really Want to Stay at Your House' and 'All We Got' into the Beat Saber arena. While these songs evoke the atmosphere of Night City, they function strictly as rhythm challenges. The game does not simulate the events of V's journey or the lore of Arasaka; instead, it offers a high-energy gameplay loop where players must time their slashes to the beat of these specific tracks within the standard Beat Saber framework.

In Their Own Story

The neon lights of Night City flicker in the distance as the first chord strikes. There is no V here, only the hum of the sabers and the rhythmic pulse of the track. Blocks fly from the void, red and blue, demanding precision without a word of dialogue. In this space, the story is not told; it is felt through the perfect slash and the shatter of glass against the beat.

Reader's Guide

There is no plot progression or narrative beats to follow in Beat Saber, as the game lacks a story mode entirely. The experience consists solely of selecting songs from various packs, including the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC, and completing rhythm challenges.

Players choose a track and are presented with blocks moving toward them along two lanes. Red blocks must be slashed right-to-left, while blue blocks require left-to-right motions. Successful hits score points based on timing accuracy (Perfect, Great, Good), while missing or hitting the wrong color breaks the combo.

The Cyberpunk 2077 song pack introduces specific tracks from the game's soundtrack, each with unique difficulty levels ranging from Very Easy to Expert+. The gameplay challenge lies entirely in mastering the rhythm and speed of these songs. There are no cutscenes, character interactions, or story integration; the 'campaign' is simply a collection of musical hurdles for players to overcome.
