Dedicated ‘Beat Saber’ Machine to Hit VR Arcades in South Korea & China
Beat Games, the Czech Republic-based indie developers behind smash hit rhythm game Beat Saber, are aiming to make a big splash in Asia with a newly revealed dedicated arcade machine.
The cabinet was created in partnership with SKonec Entertainment, a Seoul-based company that recently opened a VR multiplex called VR SQUARE.
The arcade cabinet itself features a monitor for spectating, an overhead cable management system, and appears to be powered by a HTC Vive headset, as evidenced by an image reported by Korean publication MK News. An alternative image obtained by VR Focus also features a Windows “Mixed Reality” VR headset in play.
The developers say in a recent tweet that the arcade machine’s public debut will begin this September at KVRF in Seoul, and the GTI Expo in Guangzhou, China.
