Do you want to play both Beat Saber custom songs and multiplayer? In this guide, we will show you how to toggle Beat Saber between modded and unmodded versions.
The new Beat Saber multiplayer update launched alongside the Oculus Quest 2 headset. It allows you to play songs from the game against other players in real-time in a new multiplayer mod.
At the same time, a new BMBF update for Beat Saber allows users to load real-life custom songs onto the game. The problem is that when you mod Beat Saber, you lose the ability to play in multiplayer mode.
But a clever solution using an app called Playlist Editor Pro allows you to toggle Beat Saber. And in the instructions below, we’ll go over exactly how!
What is Playlist Editor Pro?
Playlist Editor Pro is a Windows application for Beat Saber that allows you to edit your custom playlists on your computer instead of inside of your Quest headset. The playlist editor inside of BMBF in your headset is cumbersome to use and not user friendly. Playlist Editor allows you to edit this with your mouse and keyboard outside of BMBF.
A full set of features that the app has is:
- Create / Delete / Edit Playlist
- Add custom covers to your playlist
- Add / Remove and transfer songs between playlists
- Preview song metadata (cover, title, mapper, etc)
- Create BACKUPS of your playlist configuration
- Restore backups after BMBF/Beat Saber updates
- Easily “de-bookmark” a song on Beast Saber out of your bookmarks if you no longer want it
- “Preview” a song using Rabbit’s awesome web player
- Quickly access the song on Beast Saber to add ratings, reviews, and more
You can automatically toggle between the modded and unmodded versions of Beat Saber with Playlist Editor Pro v0.99.3b installed.
Before we show you how to toggle Beat Saber between your modded and unmodded versions, let’s go over a few prerequisites first.
