Hatsune Miku Music Pack 2 on Steam

Six Rhythm Rifts From KIRA to Danny Baranowsky

Steam introduces Music Pack 2 as Hatsune Miku returning for “round 2,” bringing six new Rhythm Rifts in total.

Five tracks form the main paid pack: Highlight by KIRA, CONNECT:COMMUNE by FLAVOR FOLEY, Artifact by buzzG, Hello Builder by Utsu-P and Wonder Style by colate.

The launch is accompanied by a free sixth Rhythm Rift, My One and Oni by Danny Baranowsky. The promoted total of six therefore consists of five songs in the pack plus one free bonus track.

That structure follows Rift of the NecroDancer's broader approach of pairing paid music packs with free tracks when possible, allowing base-game owners to receive something new even without buying the full collaboration pack.

Miku Gets a New Look Designed Specifically for Rift

One of Music Pack 2's biggest additions is an entirely new Hatsune Miku design.

Brace Yourself Games describes the outfit as carrying a distinct NecroDancer flavor, while Steam calls it an exclusive outfit designed specifically for Rift of the NecroDancer.

The design is clearly visible in the official launch video shared by @NecroDancerGame. Footage of Highlight shows Miku on the right side of the lane in her new cyan, black, white and pink look, facing Cadence in the Rhythm Rift presentation.

Each Miku track also receives a dedicated background visualizer with custom particle effects, making the collaboration more substantial than simply placing the character over existing charts.

Highlight and Other Crypt Tracks Return in a Different Form

Several songs in Music Pack 2 already have a longer history within the NecroDancer franchise.

When Crypt of the NecroDancer: Hatsune Miku Character DLC launched in 2024, its 15-song soundtrack included Wonder Style, Highlight, Hello Builder and My One and Oni.

Music Pack 2 now brings those four songs into the gameplay format of Rift of the NecroDancer, which differs significantly from Crypt's dungeon-based rhythm RPG structure.

CONNECT:COMMUNE and Artifact expand the selection beyond those returning tracks. As a result, the second pack is not simply a soundtrack transfer; it mixes Miku material from different periods and adapts it for lane-based Rhythm Rifts.

Four Difficulties, Remix Mode and Rift Profile Items

Every Hatsune Miku Rhythm Rift supports Easy, Medium, Hard and Impossible.

Once players have learned the developer-authored charts, Remix Mode can generate fresh patterns on subsequent runs while retaining the original level's underlying rhythmic design.

Music Pack 2 also connects directly to the Rift Profile system. Steam states that buying content from this pack unlocks custom Hatsune Miku items that can be equipped on a player's profile.

The launch update further expands Miku-themed profile unlocks and adds support related to the first Miku pack, meaning this second collaboration arrives after the profile system had become a larger part of Rift's progression and customization.

Version 1.19.0 Adds Quality-of-Life Changes

Hatsune Miku Music Pack 2 launches alongside Version 1.19.0.

Beyond the Miku content, the update introduces an option to sort tracks by length and adjusts the way DLC appears inside Track Select, particularly useful as players accumulate more music packs.

Additional fixes address Custom Music presentation, punctuation in Japanese and Simplified Chinese, and timing issues on specific charts.

The Only Droid

The changes matter because Rift of the NecroDancer's catalogue continues to expand through collaborations with Hatsune Miku, UNDERTALE, hololive, Pizza Tower, Celeste, Monstercat, Shovel Knight, Friday Night Funkin', K/DA and others. Better organization becomes increasingly useful as the library grows.

The First Miku Pack Set Up This Second Collaboration

Hatsune Miku had already returned to the NecroDancer universe through Rift on June 12, 2025, when the first Music Pack launched on Steam.

That release included Too Real, Intergalactic Bound, M@GICAL☆CURE! LOVE ♥ SHOT!, Just 1dB Louder, MikuFiesta and Radiant Revival.

The Nintendo Switch version followed on June 25, 2025.

Music Pack 2 therefore marks a full second wave for the same collaboration, this time with a fresh character design and deeper integration with Rift Profile customization.

For Music Pack 2, the official store listing verified for this article is the Steam release. The Nintendo pages surfaced during verification still correspond to the first Miku pack, so a Switch release for Pack 2 is not being assumed without a new official listing or announcement.

Why This Matters

1) Miku is getting more than six additional charts

The new outfit, visualizers, particle effects and profile items make Music Pack 2 both a visual and musical collaboration.

2) Songs from the Crypt era return in a different gameplay format

Highlight, Wonder Style, Hello Builder and My One and Oni previously appeared in Crypt of the NecroDancer's Miku collaboration and now return as Rhythm Rifts.

3) A second pack shows that Miku was not a one-off crossover

Following the first Music Pack in 2025, Brace Yourself Games has returned to Miku with another full content wave in 2026.

4) One of the six new tracks remains free

My One and Oni is offered as a free bonus, giving base-game players a new Miku Rhythm Rift without requiring the full pack.
