A music discovery platform

Beat Galaxy offers an extensive catalog of officially licensed songs from UMG’s collection on Roblox, spanning various genres such as EDM, Pop, Rock, and Urban. The experience introduces “track runner” style rhythm gameplay, allowing multiple players to engage simultaneously in real-time gameplay while socializing and immersing themselves in the music.

Beat Galaxy creates a next-generation music discovery experience on Roblox that not only provides a fun social gameplay but also creates true utility for music discovery beyond the algorithm in a community-driven way that’s never been done before.”

Beyond being a rhythm game and music discovery hub, Beat Galaxy plans to host live concerts and themed pop-up shops within the experience. Moreover, it aims to integrate other virtual UMG worlds and experiences on Roblox via in-experience portals, creating an interconnected UMG galaxy.
