According to an announcement from developer Smartmelon Games and publisher Fast Travel Games, Band Space will be released on October 24 for $19.99 on Meta Quest 3, Quest 3S and other Quest headsets, as well as on Steam for PC VR. The VR game allows up to four players to make music together in VR or mixed reality.

At launch, Band Space offers 30 tracks from various artists, including Jason Bowld from Bullet For My Valentine and Johnny Lloyd from Tribes. The official soundtrack is already available on Spotify and YouTube. You can find a link in the source below the article. The developers are planning to possibly add more songs as DLC in the future.

A special feature of Band Space is the integration of Mod.io for the single player mode. This allows fans to edit and share their own music. According to the developers, support for mods in multiplayer mode is currently in the works

It just looks like a VR version of Guitar Hero... A beginners guitar amp combo costs about the same as the cheapest version of one of those headsets and you can play any song you want on it or just make up your own songs lol

do we have any games that can accurately tell what you are doing on a real guitar by the sound and score your performance of a song and put it on a leaderboard? market it unofficially as guitar hero for adults

Well, if I'm playing my real guitar and it sounds good to me then I win the round. If it sounds bad then I retry the level.

That's my version of Guitar Hero for adults.

That'll be $10.99

It's so funny to compare a VR headset with a guitar XD yes the guitar will guitar better and cheaper then the VR headset. But it'll do only that.

It just seems silly to me to use cutting edge virtual reality technology to pretend to do something most people could easily do in real life lol

I personally prefer the instrument VR games that do them individually. I have paradiddle that i enjoy and I will definitely pickup trombone champ unflattened.

Clearly very Rock Band inspired, but compared to the plastic guitar games of yesteryear I really don't know if this one will be able to capture the feeling of precision and mastery that you would get with those games. Beat Saber and others make it work by having the input be something large and designed for VR, whereas it seems like this relies on too much precision to be fun when it's up to motion controls.

It's a shame that Rock Band VR never really worked, and that having a controller attachment to an old Guitar Hero guitar just isn't viable. I'd love to play Clone Hero in VR like this.
