A major new music drop has landed for Synth Riders, with a headline-grabbing collaboration bringing global pop star Dua Lipa into the PSVR2 experience. The newly released Dua Lipa Music Pack is available now on PlayStation VR2, adding a fresh burst of mainstream energy to one of virtual reality’s most consistent rhythm titles.
The DLC launched on 16 April 2026 and is priced at £9.49 in the UK, requiring both the base game and a PlayStation VR2 headset to play. Rather than being a small add-on, this is one of the larger recent packs for the game, delivering a total of seven tracks drawn from Dua Lipa’s catalogue.
Those songs include some of her biggest hits:
- Don’t Start Now
- Levitating
- Physical
- Houdini
- Future Nostalgia
- Hallucinate
- These Walls
Each track has been specifically mapped to match its rhythm and tempo within Synth Riders’ movement-based gameplay, where players physically hit notes, follow rails, and dodge obstacles in time with the music. The result is a pack that leans heavily into flow and dance, arguably more so than many of the game’s earlier electronic or niche-focused music additions.
This release also reflects a broader shift in how Synth Riders is evolving. While the game has traditionally leaned toward EDM, synthwave, and alternative artists, the addition of a major pop name like Dua Lipa shows a clear push toward wider appeal. It’s not the first time the game has experimented with mainstream artists, but this is one of the most recognisable names to date, signalling intent to expand its audience beyond core VR rhythm fans.
However, the update isn’t without its omissions. Unlike some previous DLC packs, the Dua Lipa Music Pack does not include a bespoke “Experience” — the game’s signature immersive music video-style levels that synchronise visuals with a specific track. These Experiences have become less frequent in recent releases, and their absence here may disappoint players who have come to expect them as part of premium content drops.
Even so, the scale of the tracklist helps offset that absence. Seven songs represent a substantial addition, particularly when compared to earlier packs that often featured five tracks. It also reinforces the idea that Synth Riders continues to prioritise consistent content updates, helping maintain its position as one of the standout rhythm titles on PSVR2.
Beyond the music itself, the pack arrives during a period of continued support for the game. Recent updates have introduced expanded progression systems, including stats and XP tracking, while future content is already being teased. This steady rollout of updates has been key to keeping the game relevant years after its original release, particularly in a VR space where long-term support can make or break a title.
Community reaction has been largely positive so far, with players highlighting how well the songs fit the game’s movement-driven design. On forums and social platforms, early impressions suggest the pack’s upbeat tempo and strong rhythm mapping make it a natural fit, even for those who may not typically gravitate toward pop music.
With its latest DLC, Synth Riders continues to blur the line between fitness app, rhythm game, and music experience. The addition of Dua Lipa doesn’t just expand the soundtrack — it broadens the game’s identity, bringing in a global pop audience while still catering to its established player base. For PSVR2 owners looking for new content, this is a significant and accessible update that keeps the beat going strong.
