| Update 1.3 | 2024-07-09 | Hey there Spinners, we've got a huge update for you today with the addition of a new and completely free VR mode, as well as the release of our Chillhop DLC and PlayStation 4 + 5 port! You'd better believe we are reusing this GIF! UPDATE 1.3 There's a lot of things to get through so let's go! VR Mode It's finally here! Jump in, have a smash and let us know what you think. In typical SRXD fashion we have allowed a customisable experience. By default, wheel motion and taps are achieved by contacting either hand's pointer with the wheel itself. Beats are achieved by tapping outside the wheel area. You can customise which hand does what in the VR |
| VR open beta branch now available! | 2024-06-11 | Hi there spinners! We've just put the VR mode up on 'communitysneakpeek'. If you haven't tried this branch before, the beta key is 'earlieraccess'.

| VR Release Date Announcement! | 2024-05-16 | VR trailer is live! What's up Spinners! We have officially passed certification on PlayStation! It was a long road, and doing 2 consoles (PS4 + PS5) plus an entirely new VR mode was a bit of a job, but we got it done. Check out our trailer below (VR mode starts at 40s). Motion controls feel great on VR. The game becomes a kind of interdimensional drumkit. You move your dominant hand into the wheel to engage it (acting as a tap and hold). Moving your hand while it's engaged moves the wheel, and your off hand can be used for beats by tapping outside the wheel. Using the regular PlayStation gamepads you can do the usual shenanigans (motion contr |
| VR Update! | 2024-03-14 | VR tease and PS5 port update What's up Spinners. We've been quietly chipping away at our PlayStation 4+5 port of SRXD, which includes PSVR. We're targeting June (ish) for release. We will also be pushing out VR mode on Steam as a free update at the same time! VR feels like the best implementation of motion controls we have achieved so far. Tracks make you feel like you're controlling a virtual drum kit, it's pretty neat! The VR controller moves the wheel as smoothly as your hand moves, and is "engaged" when the dominant hand (which can be swapped) cuts through the target zone. This acts as a tap or a hold note, and the same happens for beats |
| MERCH DROP | 2023-12-18 | ENTER THE MERCANTILE DIMENSION You've been asking for like... 4 years, so here it is. We've officially launched our MERCH STORE. First 50 merch orders (of $15 USD or more) get a free Supporter Pack key (on Steam) - as well as a personal thank-you video from the devs! https://shop.superspin.digital/ Be sure to pick up goodies such as: the SPEENPAD 2.0, available in 5 variations! shirts, hoodies, and hats! pins, stickers, and posters!

| Version 1.25 | 2023-12-15 | Ho ho ho, spinners - can you feel Christmas coming? It’s been a crazy year since launching 1.0 in March, the Switch version in October and now with the PS5 version in the works (including VR!) - Steve got married, Daverwob had a baby and so much more. We’ve been quietly chipping away at our next console port while slipping in a few new features for PC. Optimising for Switch meant that many graphical features had to be neutered on PC. We’ve added a bit of sparkle and magic back into the visuals with this patch, including a revamped dynamic background system. We also licensed two tracks by Akira Complex around 6 months ago. They were raising fu |
| Update 1.2 | 2023-10-26 | Welcome back Spinners, we've got a decent sized update for you today, along with the release of our Nintendo Switch version! SWITCH VERSION! The Nintendo Switch version releases today in all regions! Americas, Europe, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong Go and check it out! You can play with touch screen, motion controls, gamepad and even keyboard and mouse! Yes, we went mad and implemented KB&M controls. We have added mouse sensitivity in the input menu as a day 1 patch, along with improved motion controls (where you can select which axis you can use). Currently motion controls are available on the right-hand Joy-Con and the Switch Pro Controller. STEAM |
| SRXD News September 2023 | 2023-09-13 | Hey spinners, we've back from Gamescom and our very first exhibition of the Switch version! Pix below. Gamescom! Thanks to all our Euro Discord members who came to visit and play the game, you are the best. Pix are on our Discord (didn't want to post any faces here in case anyone wasn't cool with that). Middle shot is Shath, Dave and Steve (left to right) - check out the incredible Jimmy / LadyJ cosplay by Shath's partner Ingrid. She works in film and TV as a seamstress, and custom made these sweet outfits using incredible reflective materials. They look black until they catch the light, and then they turn purple, blue and golden. We had such |
| Version 1.10 | 2023-07-04 | Hi Spinners, Steve's been knee-deep in Switch optimisation, and with Shath and Dave idle we decided to put together our first DLC of shiny cosmetics and an unreleased music track by Daverwob. A while ago some Discord members mentioned they wanted a way to support development (such as Patreon) beyond simply buying the game. We have been thinking about releasing a supporter pack for a while, and we wanted to use this as an opportunity to go through the DLC release process before our song packs go live. SRXD Supporter Pack! If you love Spin Rhythm XD and want to support its development a little bit more, this may be the DLC for you! For $7.99 US |
| Version 1.05 | 2023-05-30 | Hi Spinners, We've had our heads down mainly doing optimisation for Switch and experimenting with some VR stuff. Daverwob has been doing some new levels including a 2Mello track included in this update! We've also licensed new tracks by Meganeko, modus, Eli Way and two from Akira Complex Working on some of these tracks lead to Daverwob requesting some much needed editor updates from Steve including proper swing support. More changes meant this snowballed into a pretty big editor update. We hope you enjoy this mixed update! Details below. Version 1.05 FEATURES New track! Cold Rock it by 2 Mello - a sick breakbeats / drum and bass tune with a s |
| Version 1.01 | 2023-03-21 | Hi there, What a crazy week it's been! Welcome to all our new Spinners. We are blown away by everyone's response to the launch. We've got a small patch we're pushing out before we take a bit of a break (we're all heading interstate for a wedding then taking a couple of weeks off). Version 1.01 FEATURES Added No-fail mode in accessibility options! - Want to slam through a track that is too difficult for you? This mode allows you to play with full visual effects (rather than the muted practice mode background), and your leaderboard score will be locked to the score you achieved at the point of failure. Added gamepad control styles! - Default - |
| Update 20 - Version 1.0! | 2023-03-14 | Hi Spinners, thanks for your support and patience on the road to 1.0. Extra thanks to all our Discord members who helped with beta testing this release, translations, and the love and memes that keep us going. Check out our official trailer, and please retweet our launch tweet if you can! If you haven't left a Steam review yet for SRXD, we would greatly appreciate it. UPDATE 20 - Version 1.0 We're finally here! Let's go through all the new features. FEATURES New tracks! We added 4 new tracks to reach 60 tracks (if you count the tutorial!) - we had another full track planned (Second Wind by L'indecis), it's licensed and the levels are made, bu |
| Update 19 - 3 New Tracks | 2022-12-23 | Hi Spinners, this is a small update before Christmas just to give you a few new tracks and show you what we've been working on to prepare for 1.0. UPDATE 19 - THREE NEW TRACKS While we work on our final features for 1.0 (level up system, unlockables, proper gamepad and console-friendly UI), we have kept up licensing tracks from around the place. We were going to release them all in one bunch at 1.0, but we decided to release some early as a Christmas present. We're pleased to be able to add the awesome Au5 to our roster with Voidwalkers (co-written with Chime), along with Aussie funk pop band Supathick and their extremely catchy tune "Time". |
| Small update - 2 new tracks! | 2022-09-30 | Hi everyone We've been busy working on our Switch port and final updates before 1.0. We were recently asked to join the Melbourne International Games Week Steam sale, so we decided to release two new tracks and some minor bug fixing for the occasion! Go and check out a bunch of other games that are proudly made in Melbourne, Australia! Details below. FEATURES 2 new tracks from the artist Sharks who is signed with Disciple! Whirlpool and Water Elemental will take you on an intense journey through an underwater soundscape. Their detailed sound design and intricate rhythm lend themselves perfectly to Spin Rhythm XD’s mechanics. Sharks is in our |
| Small update - scoring system polish | 2022-08-29 | Hi everyone With the new scoring system having been in the wild for a month now, we've made a few small changes to clean it up and make it less punishing or discouraging for new players, without the need for any kind of leaderboard resets. Details below. FEATURES The main feature of this patch is the refining of our recently updated scoring system. Having a score reduce from PFC > SFC > FC ended up feeling like multiple layers of punishment for not being perfect, so we have simplified the whole system. Updated scoring timing windows - Good - 79ms - Great - 59ms - Perfect - 38ms - Perfect+ - 16ms - Release timing remains slightly more lenient |
