How To Install Custom Songs On Beat Saber For Meta Quest!

Custom Songs Give You More Music To Choose From Than The Official Beat Saber Will Ever Offer. So This Is The Full Guide To Adding Custom Songs To Beat Saber On The Meta Quest (1, 2, 3 + Pro) In 10 Minutes Max.

The Ability to play Custom Beat Saber Songs is a BOON to VR gamers. But Modding and Adding Custom songs on Beat Saber can be tricky for many VR games because none of us has a techy mind or skills, we’re just die-hard VR fans. 

That’s why we thought we should make a guide that cuts off bluff and fillers and just talk with points and detailed steps.

So, you can consider this as an Ultimate, Definitive, and Full Guide To Modding And Adding Custom Songs To the Beat Saber on Meta Quest.

I’ve also added a wireless method to add custom songs that can help you select and download multiple songs at once. 

***This guide assumes you have Beat Saber installed, but no mods or custom songs.***

Which Version Of Beat Saber Does This Guide Apply To?

Almost every new Beat Saber update causes problems with custom songs and modders have to update their mods for the latest version of Beat Saber first.

The current version 1.20.0 (OST5) is currently supported.

If these instructions are no longer up to date: You can check the latest supported Beat Saber version on the BSMG Discord server in the “modding-announcements” channel.

Does The Multiplayer Mode Work If I Want To Use Custom Songs?

No, With Meta Quest you have to decide whether you want to install custom songs or prefer to use the multiplayer mode. Both at the same time is not possible.

A possible alternative is to switch to the PC VR version. There is no conflict between Custom Songs and Multiplayer mode.

What do I need to install Custom Songs on Meta Quest?

To install custom songs on your Meta Quest, you need the following:

1. A Meta Quest
2. A computer with Windows, macOS or Linux
3. The VR game Beat Saber (Meta Store)
4. The sideloading app Sidequest and the custom song mod BMBF

STEP 1: Setup SideQuest

If you’re not familiar with side loading and side quest, then let me tell you that it’s effortless to get it all set up.

I’ve linked a couple of tutorials on how to start sideloading, or you can read the ultimate guide on sidequest. It takes maybe five to ten minutes max to get it all ready to go. 

So, after setting up Sidequest, make sure that you have connected your Meta Quest with SideQuest properly by checking the green signal.

STEP 2: Backup Game Data (OPTIONAL)

Backing up your Beat Saber game data is optional but if you don’t want to lose your scores I suggest you don’t skip this.

So, here’s how to backup Beat Saber Game Data:

1. Go to installed apps
2. Click the gear icon for Beat Saber
3. Then select Backup Game Data

STEP 3: Find And Bookmark Custom Songs

Now, go to the Beat Saber website which is an online directory for custom songs. Here you can find and bookmark the songs that you want to load onto your Meta Quest later.

Here’s How To Uninstall Custom Songs On Beat Saber:

1. Connect your Meta Quest with Sidequest.

Why Custom Songs?

Beat Games has released quite a number of free songs and DLCs for Beat Saber. But that’s not enough for big Beat Saber fans.

They want a larger selection of songs and genres and that’s where Custom Songs come into play.

Custom Songs are like special levels made with unlicensed music. People upload these unofficial creations to specific websites, and then you can use mods to bring them into the game.

There are currently more than 65,000 custom songs (as of August 2020) available for download, covering pretty much every genre and many international hits.

These custom songs work for both PC VR glasses and Meta Quest, but unfortunately, PlayStation VR users can’t join in on the fun.
