Synth Riders News

May the year of the Rabbit bring you lots of luck & happiness!

With many of the features added in our VR game Synth Riders over the years, "Decals" allow you to decorate your in-game platform to show off your own style and flair - you can also show your design to your friends and see theirs in multiplayer.

Here is a quick little guide to the Seasonal Decals 🎥

“Groovin’ Essentials” Music Pack features five paid DLC songs:

• “24K Magic” - Bruno Mars
  
• “Runaway Baby” - Bruno Mars
  
• “Skate” - Silk Sonic (feat. Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak)
  
• “Manuals” - Starcadian
  
• “Supersymmetry” - Starcadian
  

Synth Riders sets this party off right with Bruno Mars’ chart-topping hits “24K Magic” and “Runaway Baby”, before you “Skate” back to the 70s with Silk Sonic, the Grammy award-winning collaboration between Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak. Then go back to the future with Starcadian in “Manuals” and “Supersymmetry”, with his unique blend of Synthwave meets Disco - in Space!

In a first for Synth Riders, our level creation team worked closely with dancer Phil “SACBxY” Tayag to choreograph this pack. As a choreographer for Bruno Mars and former founding member of the Jabbawockeez his insights make this pack unique! As an added bonus, players can dance along with the exclusive “SACBxY” choreography for “Manuals”, featured in our gameplay trailer!

To celebrate the launch of this pack, we’re adding a new stage “Liquid Disco” - it’s the hottest club in town to play Synth Riders, as featured in our trailer, and it’s available to every player for free! Step inside a stunning futuristic nightclub with a dancefloor that reacts to every song - available for both regular & spin modes.



“Bringing together Bruno Mars, Silk Sonic and Starcadian for this pack is a highlight for us - musically different, yet all sharing common influences from funk and groove. “Groovin’ Essentials” expresses both Synth Riders’ retro-future outlook and our dance-at-the-heart gameplay.” - Abraham Aguero (Creative Director, Kluge Interactive)

With the addition of “Groovin’ Essentials”, Synth Riders’ impressive soundtrack has surpassed 100 songs, with more than half of those included free with the game and 45 as optional DLC.

"Complete Your Set" bundle is also available for Synth Riders, check it out:
