In short: Maestro, the VR game where you conduct a full symphony orchestra, released its Attack on Titan DLC on August 20, 2026 on Meta Quest, PS VR2, Pico and SteamVR for $3.99 / £2.99 / €3.99. It packs two pieces from the series, by Hiroyuki Sawano and Kohta Yamamoto, plus a feather-duster baton. The Switch version follows on September 17.
What is inside Maestro's Attack on Titan DLC?
Two tracks to conduct and one cosmetic. "Attack on Titan", the theme Hiroyuki Sawano wrote for the very first season back in 2013, "Ashes on The Fire", the opening track of The Final Season soundtrack by Kohta Yamamoto, and a brand-new baton called The Titan Sweeper. The pack costs $3.99 / £2.99 / €3.99 and requires the base game.
The expansion was announced on June 24 at the VR Games Showcase with no date attached. Then it dropped almost without warning: live on August 20, with the DLC reveal trailer out the same day, setting the scene in a museum lined with titan statues three storeys tall. Double Jack, the Paris studio behind the game, had so far built its licensed repertoire on film music: Star Wars with the Duel of the Fates pack, Harry Potter with Secret Sorcery, Pirates of the Caribbean with All Aboard!. This is its first step into anime, and the two picks are no accident: one track opens the series in 2013, the other scores its final stretch.
The attention to detail starts on the selection screen. The DLC's sheet music lives in a leather songbook titled Historia, tied shut with a golden key on a red ribbon. Hard not to read that key as the one Eren wears around his neck through the whole first arc, with a nod to Historia Reiss thrown in. We happen to sell the Eren key necklace for €12.99, and it is the most reviewed piece in our Titans range, 4.7 out of 5 across 47 reviews.
What is Maestro, the game that hands you the baton?
A VR rhythm game released on October 17, 2024 on Quest and October 22 on Steam, putting you on the conductor's podium of a symphony orchestra: cue the sections, beat the tempo, shape the dynamics, unleash the choir. Metacritic aggregates its reviews at 93 out of 100, from four reviews only, so treat that number for what it is: a warm welcome in a niche market.

Its signature trick is hand tracking on Quest: put the controllers down and conduct bare-handed, open palm to hold the orchestra back, a sharp flick to push it forward. UploadVR titled its review "Hitting a high note with hand tracking", scored the game 4.5 out of 5 and wrote that it "features some of the tightest hand tracking I've seen yet". The base repertoire advertises around thirty pieces, Beethoven and Vivaldi included, which the licensed DLC packs have kept expanding. Anime music was the missing genre, and starting with Attack on Titan means starting with the theme even non-readers can hum.
Why is the baton called The Titan Sweeper?
Because it is a feather duster. Double Jack's press release describes "a conductor baton that Attack on Titan fans will immediately recognize", and the reference is crystal clear: Captain Levi, humanity's strongest soldier in the story, and a cleaning maniac whenever he gets the chance.
The series has shown him more than once with a white scarf on his head and a duster in hand, inspecting the Survey Corps headquarters for dust. Conducting the choirs of "Ashes on The Fire" with a cleaning tool at the end of your arm is exactly the kind of contrast that makes you smile mid-performance. In our store, Levi remains a safe bet: the Levi LED frame at €39.99, 4.7 out of 5 across 24 reviews, works as wall art and as a soft night light.
Maestro is coming to Switch: date, price and content
September 17, 2026, on Switch and Switch 2, with pre-orders at $29.99 / £26.99 / €29.99. It is the first version of the game playable without a headset, ported by Suncrest Games. The music split changes along the way: "Ashes on The Fire" ships inside the base game, while "Attack on Titan" will come through the DLC.
On the music stand, the symphonic suite of "Ashes on The Fire" opens on a movement titled "The Rise of the Giants", illustrated with a pen-and-ink titan face rising through the clouds. That is what is confirmed. What is not: the eShop price of the DLC, which neither Double Jack nor Suncrest had communicated as of August 21. If you are torn between the two versions, the table sums it up.
| VR version | Switch / Switch 2 version | |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | out since August 20, 2026 | September 17, 2026 |
| Platforms | Meta Quest, PS VR2, Pico, SteamVR | Switch 1 and Switch 2 |
| Price | DLC at $3.99, base game required (game + DLC bundle at €28.49 on Steam) | game at $29.99 pre-order, DLC price not announced |
| Attack on Titan tracks | "Attack on Titan" and "Ashes on The Fire", both in the DLC | "Ashes on The Fire" included, "Attack on Titan" as DLC |
| How you conduct | controllers or bare hands (hand tracking on Quest) | on screen, no headset |
One note on timing: if you are waiting for the Switch version, "Ashes on The Fire" will be there day one at no extra cost. Everywhere else, the DLC is out now for the price of a coffee.
What is happening to Attack on Titan after the anime ended?
The anime wrapped in November 2023, the manga in April 2021, and the franchise has not slowed down. A compilation film, THE FINAL CHAPTERS, has been announced for theaters: we covered what that film will contain in a dedicated article. Between anime announcements, games carry the flame, and this Maestro DLC proves the point: no new episode is needed for Sawano's music to fill a hall, even a virtual one.
If the DLC makes you want to revisit the story, we also traced Eren Jaeger's path from vengeful kid to antihero. And to wear the series day to day, our Attack on Titan range gathers necklaces, LED frames and t-shirts, with 121 customer reviews on the clock.
Frequently asked questions
Which headsets can play Maestro's Attack on Titan DLC?
Meta Quest, PS VR2, Pico and SteamVR, since August 20, 2026, for $3.99 / £2.99 / €3.99. You need the base game Maestro; on Steam, a bundle packs the game and the DLC for €28.49. Both tracks and the Titan Sweeper baton are included on every VR platform.
Which Attack on Titan songs are in Maestro?
Two tracks: "Attack on Titan", the theme Hiroyuki Sawano composed for season one in 2013, and "Ashes on The Fire", the opening track of The Final Season soundtrack by Kohta Yamamoto. The two composers have shared scoring duties on the series since season 4.
Is Maestro coming to Nintendo Switch?
Yes, on September 17, 2026, on Switch and Switch 2, with pre-orders at $29.99. It is the first version playable without VR, ported by Suncrest Games. "Ashes on The Fire" ships inside the base game; the "Attack on Titan" track will arrive through a DLC whose price has not been announced yet.
Can you play Maestro without controllers?
Yes, on Meta Quest, thanks to hand tracking: the headset reads your fingers and you conduct bare-handed, like a conductor on the podium. That mode is what earned the game its 4.5 out of 5 from UploadVR. On the other platforms, the baton is held with a controller.
Is the DLC an action game like the other Attack on Titan games?
No. Maestro is a rhythm game: no omni-directional gear, no titans to fight, you hold the baton and the score scrolls by. All the tension comes from the music, and "Ashes on The Fire" brings plenty, scoring some of the darkest passages of season 4.
