Coldplay is bringing new VR content to Meta platforms this month. Meta in partnership with the band is set to release a paid Beat Saber music pack and a free immersive concert. The Beat Saber DLC releases on December 18, while the virtual concert is scheduled for December 30. Users can experience both these events through Meta’s VR ecosystem, including Beat Saber and Meta Horizon Worlds. The plan aims at giving fans new ways to savour Coldplay’s music using virtual reality through gameplay.
The first part of this rollout focuses on Beat Saber. This popular game will introduce Coldplay flavoured rhythms with a new music pack featuring 12 songs. Players can choose and buy select songs for $1.99 each or the full pack for $14.99. Other than the new music packages, the update will bring a new in-game environment inspired by Coldplay’s live stage visuals. While Meta is yet to confirm the track list, the pack is expected to have a mix of the band’s all time hits and recent releases.
During late December, Meta Horizon Worlds will host one-of its kind VR concert, ‘Music of the Spheres’: This free immersive experience will launch on December 30 at 11 am PT giving fans a unique retreat. The VR concert is recorded in stereoscopic 180 degree VR and is based on Coldplay’s performances at Wembley Stadium. The expected songs include Yellow, Fix You, Viva La Vida, A Sky Full Of Stars, and feelslikeimfallinginlove.
To support the concert, Meta has also released free Coldplay themed avatar items. These can be claimed through the Avatar editor in VR or through Meta Horizon concert pages on mobile devices. It allows fans to customize their look while attending the event.
Coldplay is also returning to Meta’s fitness app Supernatural. Starting December 29, users in the US and Canada will get three new workouts. These include Boxing and Flow sessions that combine classic tracks with newer songs like WE PRAY.
With Coldplay appearing across games, concerts, and fitness apps, Meta continues to position VR as a broader entertainment space. How audiences respond to this mix of music and immersion could shape similar events in the future.
