A beatmap pack is a compressed archive containing beatmaps. They can be found on the beatmap pack listing.
It is worth noting that packs are roughly 100 MB in size on average and contain all available beatmap assests, including videos.
The file name of a pack is based on its content, category, and upload order. For example, in a beatmap pack file named:
F2 - Rohi Pack.zip
F2 means the second beatmap pack under the Featured Artist category, while Rohi Pack refers to the pack's name shown on the beatmap pack listing. This pack only includes Rohi's songs.
Some beatmap packs, especially in the Standard category, are also numbered by upload order. For example, osu! Beatmap Pack #1000 (pack S1000) is the 1,000th pack containing Ranked beatmaps for the osu! game mode.
Beatmap packs are split into 7 categories with a special letter indicator:
| Indicator | Category | Beatmap types |
|---|---|---|
| S | Standard | Ranked or Approved beatmaps |
| F | Featured Artist | Songs from Featured Artists |
| T | Tournament | Tournament mappools |
| L | Project Loved | Beatmaps chosen by the community in Project Loved |
| R | Spotlights | Seasonal beatmap challenge packs from the Beatmap Spotlights, formerly known as Charts |
| T | Theme | Beatmaps based on a particular theme |
| A | Artist/Album | Songs from specific artists or albums |
.osz files..osz files into the Songs folder under the osu! installation directory, or select the files and drag them directly into the game window..osz files. In case of issues, try pressing F5 in the song selection screen to reprocess beatmaps.Caution: osu! cannot guarantee that files from unofficial sources are safe, up to date, or complete.
