Facebook Inc. is acquiring the studio behind Beat Saber, a popular virtual-reality game that mixes music, lightsabers and dancing into one experience, for an undisclosed price.

Beat Games will join Facebook’s Oculus gaming studio, the social-media company said Tuesday, and will operate independently out of its current base in Prague. The studio will continue to support and build out Beat Saber.
