Minor Update: Multi-Language Voice-Overs + Bugfixes for Local Songs & Playlists

Dear community,

This is just a minor update before the next big thing is coming 😉 to fix recently reported bugs and also add some voice-overs to our tutorial and the feature tour.

Here are the changes in detail:
  • The in-game tutorial and feature tour do now have voice-overs in multiple languages.
  • Changing the BPM while playing a local song no longer causes weird effects.
  • The buttons on the song endscreen are now more visually distinct to prevent users from accidentally pressing the main menu button during playlists.
  • Playlists with more than 2 pages no longer show odd scrolling behavior in the main menu.


As always, thanks for all your valuable feedback and reporting those nasty bugs!

Feel free to share more feedback in our Discord channel, vote on user requests on our feedback board, or add your own ideas there.

Thank you all,
Team PowerBeatsVR
