Maestro Sets Sail With Pirates Of The Caribbean DLC

Maestro adds two notable songs from Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean films, joined by other epic sailing songs in the latest DLC.

At the heart of the All Aboard! update are two iconic tracks from Pirates of the Caribbean, including Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt’s instantly recognizable theme, “He’s a Pirate,” and Zimmer’s “Jack Sparrow.” These rousing pieces are joined by a selection of sea-inspired music, including the shanty “Wellerman,” Rimsky-Korsakov’s “The Shipwreck,” and Ralph Vaughan Williams’ A Sea Symphony (Overture).

As with earlier Maestro add-ons, such as the Star Wars, Game of Thrones, and Fantasia themed updates previously covered here, the new DLC brings more than just music. All Aboard! adds a new environment to perform in (which includes a kraken and ghost ship) plus new buccaneer-themed costumes for the orchestra. Players can get into the swashbuckling spirit, too, with new accessories and cosmetic items, including a Kraken’s Foot baton and The Cap’n gloves.

Our 2024 review of Maestro praised the game’s bold use of hand tracking on Quest, and called the experience a “breath of fresh air” compared to other VR rhythm games. That’s since arrived across almost every major VR platform, and it’s one of the few games that currently supports PlayStation VR2 hand-tracking.

Maestro and the new All Aboard! add-on are available now in the Meta Horizon Store and Steam, while the Pico and PS VR2 release will follow “in the coming days.”
