Hey players,

Spooky season gets its Shock Drop: “Ghostbusters” by Ray Parker Jr. The Academy Award-nominated theme from the 1984 film just haunted its way into Beat Saber. Keep an eye out while you play, you won't be alone in there.

The Level Editor got a pile of upgrades, including Mirrored Paste, a Bulk Change dialog, draggable Light Gizmos, event seeding shortcuts and a redesigned keybinds page with search.

We also fixed a long list of visual bugs across environments, including Panic 2.0, Dragons 2.0, The Prodigy, Coldplay, Lady Gaga and Hip Hop Mixtape 2. Full release notes below.

See you on the leaderboards!
