- DrumBeats VR v1.86 is here! - 18 December 2025
Dear players, With this Major Update V1.86 a variety of fixes and improvements has been made, here's what's new: Mod.io integration Adding customs into the game has never been easier. From now on, you can browse and import custom songs from within the game. Thanks to Mod.io, and all the players who upload their customs to this platform (currently over 100 customs ready to play). CustomsV2 This new format for custom songs can handle everything the in-game songs can handle, think of: separated drum-tracks, difficulties, album-covers and preview audio. The tool to pack these customs has been given out to a few custom-creators, and will be released to the public shortly. Improved Loading TimesThe time it takes from menu-to-playing has been improved. Improved Hit-WindowThe hit-window has been tuned a bit, so it's more forgiving.Enjoy!

Have fun!
