PlayStation gamers are demanding refunds after a popular game has announced that support will be ending on PS5 and PS4.
It’s not fun when a game you really like announces that it will be killing future support. It’s even less fun when said support is only being cancelled on your platform, but continues to thrive on other platforms.
Last week, a hit game available on PS5 and PS4 announced that it was ending support for both platforms, but the game would continue to receive updates on other platforms.
Beat Games announced that it would be ending support for the PlayStation VR and PlayStation VR2 versions of Beat Saber, with no new DLC releasing after June 2025.

Beat Games stressed that the game will still be available to purchase, and you can still play it using your PS VR or PS VR2 devices, but it won’t get any new DLC or updates.
You’ll also still have access to all your previously-purchased content, which is something at least.
In addition to this, the developer also announced that Beat Saber multiplayer on PS4 and PS5 would not be available after 21st January, 2026.
Following this announcement, PlayStation fans are demanding refunds as a result of the decision by Beat Games.
“Yeah, this is a “give-our-money-back” situation,” wrote one user on X (formerly Twitter). “We didn’t support the game just for development to be cut specifically for our platform for no real reason.”
“Yeah f*** off with this @BeatSaber,” another user wrote. “Either continue releasing content for PS4/5 or start refunding all of us. I bought so much DLC to SUPPORT this game and you're going to stop supporting us?”
“I bought specifically for future updates as well,” a third user wrote. “That’s a big part and I usually play multiplayer. You should be giving refunds to those who no longer want it.”
Oh dear. It sounds like this decision may have come from higher up than Beat Games.
The developer was acquired by Meta in 2019, which develops its own VR platforms with the Quest headsets.
