Hey Riders!

The Open Beta for Synth Riders version 3.x is LIVE! 🎉

What can you expect? It’s no understatement to say this is a massive update: it’s a complete rebuild of the game from the ground up including new features, improvements, and a smoother, more immersive rhythm-riding experience.

We’ve been working hard to bring this update to you - we can’t wait for you to try it and would love to hear your feedback on our forums.

⚠️ Please be aware due to the systemic nature of this upload previous mods and custom stages will not work.

And don’t worry, version 2.x will remain available during this transition period while we work with you to iron out any kinks found in 3.x.

As icing on this synth-y cake we’re also giving everyone the opportunity to check out the legendary Experience™ that started it all, Algorithm by Muse, once for FREE! This isn’t just any track—it’s a full-on immersive journey with custom visuals and effects that’ll blow your mind. Perfect for both newcomers and veterans alike.

Ready to ride the beat? To access the beta branch do the following:

  1. Locate Synth Riders in your Steam Library
  2. Right-click and select ‘Properties’
  3. Go to ‘Betas’
  4. On the ‘Beta participation’ drop down make sure ‘open-beta - OPEN BETA Testing (v3.x) is selected.




For full patch notes here.

As always, your feedback helps us to bring the best version of Synth Riders to our Steam community! We'd love to hear your feedback in our [official discord server] where you'll find a comprehensive list of Known Issues, Bug reports and much much more!

See you in the game! 🚀
