Synth Riders’ Biggest Feature Update Yet: Level UP!



For nearly eight years, Synth Riders has been shaped by one thing above all else: its players. The Riders.

Through new headsets, new platforms, changing trends, one thing has remained constant; the community that shows up, plays together, and keeps this world moving.

Today, Kluge Interactive is proud to release the biggest feature update in Synth Riders’ history: “Level UP” a progression system, built to celebrate commitment, encourage growth, and welcome a new generation of players into the rhythm.

A New Way to Track, Share, and Show Your Journey

The new Progression System gives players a long-requested way to record their journey through Synth Riders.

Players can now:
Track personal performance stats across gameplay
Level up and display progress over time
Share milestones and compare progress with friends
Show off their level in both single-player and multiplayer

Whether you’re chasing personal improvement, friendly competition, or just love seeing the numbers reflect the hours you’ve put in, progression makes your time in Synth Riders feel visible, tangible, and earned.

This isn’t about changing how the game feels. But to create a foundation for what’s yet to come.

A More Guided Path for New Riders

While Synth Riders has always thrived on freedom and player expression, we also know that not every new player wants to be dropped into the deep end.

The new progression system introduces a more guided, structured experience for players who prefer a clearer sense of direction:
Where to start
What to aim for next
How do I get the most out of the game

This “hand-held” approach (without ever limiting player choice) helps new Riders feel confident, motivated, and supported, especially those stepping into VR rhythm games for the first time.

It’s an on-ramp, not a restriction.

Built for the Community

Releasing a feature update of this size, right now, is intentional.

This progression system represents:
Continued investment in Synth Riders
A long-term commitment to its players
Confidence in the community that has kept the game alive and thriving

Synth Riders isn’t standing still and neither are the Riders who play it.

This Is Just the Beginning

Progression is not an endpoint. It’s a foundation.

We’ll be watching closely, listening carefully, and evolving the system alongside the community that helped shape it. Your stats, your feedback, your shared moments, they all inform what comes next.

To every Rider who’s been here since day one, and every new player about to jump in: this update is for you.

Welcome to the next stage of Synth Riders.
