A New Look, An Easier Way to Find Features in Synth Riders
Hey Riders,
We’ve got some big news to share, and we can’t wait for you to dive into the latest update! We’ve refreshed Synth Riders with a brand-new look and a smoother, more intuitive interface, making it easier than ever to find challenges, check out our spectacular Experiences, and jump right into your favorite tracks.
But first thing:
Be sure to update your game to access the new features. Whether you’re on Meta Quest 2, Pro, 3 / 3S, Pico, PC, or PSVR 2, this update is rolling out for everyone!
A Streamlined, 80s Synthwave-Inspired Interface
You’ll notice our new homepage screen right when you launch the game. It’s got a crisp, updated look with bold Synthwave vibes and more direct access to everything you need. There’s also a new “Challenges” button right up front so you can jump straight into community challenges (no more digging through menus to find them!)
A Quicker Way to Access Modes and Features
Once you hop into “Solo” mode, you’ll see how easy it is to choose modifiers (like Spin and Spiral modes) or check where you rank on the leaderboards if you’re all about climbing the charts. We kept the new layout simple and sleek so that everything you need is just a click away.
Notable improvements include:
• Joystick/thumbstick scrolling for song lists and music packs
• New options in Sort & Filter.
• Buttons now have tooltips if you’re unsure on what a particular UI element or settings does!
Don’t Miss Out on Community Challenges
As we said up top, we made the Challenges easier to locate and navigate! It’s another great feature inside of Synth Riders that we don’t want anyone to miss. Right at the top of the welcome screen you can jump right to see the latest community challenges. Speaking of which, have you jumped into the Synth Riders Discord? Come join the fun—maybe make a few suggestions for challenges and new songs you’d like to play.
ICYMI: EXPERIENCES CONTINUE – AND YOU CAN TRY ONE FOR FREE!
We knew we needed to make it easier for you to explore our Synth Riders Experiences™ as well, with a dedicated section accessible from the main menu. They blow away everyone who tries them. Honestly, though, it is tough to explain it to someone. Seeing is believing, after all.
At the beginning of September, we opened Muse’s “Algorithm” Experience™ so that you can try it one time for free. It’s right there, now, in the app, waiting for everyone whether you bought it or not. Fire it up, play the track, and if it moves you, the DLC is available for purchase.
While on the subject of Experiences™, this is just the start! We already have a few you can play right now, but we have even more unique ones on the horizon. Big things are coming to Synth Riders and we are incredibly excited for later this year, into 2025, and beyond.
Be sure to join our official Facebook or Discord communities and let us know what you think of the new update!
