Get Ready for Weekly In-game Challenges!
[h2]Synth Party? Challenge accepted![/h2]
[h3]We are super excited to announce Challenges, a new social experience now available to use with Synth Riders on all platforms![/h3]
Challenges are weekly mini-tournaments that allow you and your friends to play against each other in heart-pounding matches, even when you’re not in VR at the same time.
Every Wednesday, we dare you to accept one of the official Featured Challenges created by our development team. The Challenges are cross-platform so you can join in on a challenge with the entire Synth Riders family!
Join the community to make sure you never miss a new Challenge:

If you can, please write a review of Synth Riders. It's one of the most powerful ways to support the game!
Still want more? This update is packed with great content updates and quality of life features to help every player get the most out of their experience playing Synth Riders!
[h2]Game News & Updates - Inside & Out![/h2]
Now you can keep up with all the latest Synth Riders news via our in-game news panel visible in the main game screen! But you want to keep up with the Synth Riders news outside of VR too?
Well, there’s a completely revamped Synth Riders website at https://synthridersvr.com where you can find all the latest news and updates no matter where you are!
[h2]Immerse Yourself in Updated Stages[/h2]
You may recall that we recently sent out a survey asking for your feedback on all our stages! Based on your feedback, we have revamped all the stages except for “Dystopia” (the most recent addition for the Cyberpunk DLC). You’ll find improved environments with a new feeling of space and scale, performance improvements and enhanced lighting - while adding visibility corridors to improve the play experience! Why not try a new stage, or use the random feature to try them all?
[h2]New Song List Sort & Filter[/h2]
On the Song Select panel, you’ll find a new Sort & Filter icon in the top toolbar. Select this to open the Sort & Filter panel where you can sort your music packs & custom songs by name, BPM, plays and date added (use the reverse button to flip the sort), in addition you can also filter here by song difficulty!
[h2]Multiplayer Audio & Moderation Options[/h2]
Each person can now adjust what they hear from other players in Multiplayer. You’ll see a new gear icon next to each player’s name in the lobby, which you can use to turn down or mute the player! In addition, the player with the crown may also ban a player from the room.
[h2]Carry On Playing a New Master Difficulty![/h2]
Now you too can try out the new Master level for “Carry On” by F.O.O.L. which was used as a sight reading challenge for our finalists in the VAL Tournament! (Congratulations Moinn, RAPTOR & Jade!)
[h2]LIV SDK 1.5[/h2]
More improvements to LIV support under the LIV 1.5 SDK, which will require you to use the public_beta branch of LIV until advised otherwise! Please keep an eye on the Synth Riders & LIV discords for more news as SDK 1.5 rolls out. We are excited to be early adopters of the new technology, and grateful to our content creators using LIV for their patience as we make this transition.
[h2]Bug Fixes / Improvements[/h2]
Rail length compliance bug has been fixed (thanks Jade!)
[h3]As always we welcome your feedback and bug reports on our Official Discord server. Please use #bugs-report to make sure that we see your feedback.[/h3]
