The virtual reality rhythm game Synth Riders released a new Music Pack on June 25, 2026 in collaboration with the popular alternative rock band Linkin Park. This drop includes tracks from both the band’s earlier albums, such as Hybrid Theory (2000) with late lead vocalist Chester Bennington, and their newer album From Zero (2024), with Emily Armstrong, the band’s new vocalist. Featuring thirteen different tracks spanning across six different albums, this is the game’s largest music pack drop so far, according to the Synth Riders official YouTube channel.
Originally released in 2019 following a 2018 early release on Steam, Synth Riders is a virtual reality rhythm game designed by Kludge Interactive to help people exercise through dance. Since then, the game has been nominated for four different awards, and has been a finalist in three. The most recent was a 2024 finalist position for Apple Design Awards’ Spatial Computing category.
