Facebook has acquired Beat Games, the maker of the popular virtual reality music game "Beat Saber," the social media giant announced Tuesday. Beat Games will operate as an independent studio under Oculus Studios, and continue to support "Beat Saber" on all existing platforms, according to a blog post penned by Facebook AR/VR director of content Mike Verdu.

"Beat Saber" has become a hit with VR users ever since its release in May of last year.
