Daily challenge

The daily challenge is a multiplayer mode in osu!(lazer) where players are able to build up a streak by passing consecutive daily beatmaps with an increasing difficulty that resets every 7 days.

Every beatmap is handpicked from the Featured Artist listing, and sometimes the maps come with a mod forced onto users, which requires them to pass the map with the selected mod.

Game menu

From the main menu, the daily challenge menu can be accessed with the following steps:

1. Click the play button or press P.
2. Click the daily challenge button or press D.

On entering, the user is presented with an intro showing the beatmap the user has to pass, and the mods they have to pass it with.

After the intro ends, the user can view the data for today's challenge. The left side displays various score-related information like the total pass count and the cumulative total score. In the middle, a leaderboard shows the top scores achieved by players. Users are able to discuss the daily challenge in the chat on the right.

Trivia

• The idea for daily challenge was taken from a comment from waxxx14 requesting a "cup of the day" format from TrackMania in osu!, posted under the lazer development video "deciding what to do with lazer".
• The daily challenge launched to the public on July 25, 2024 in osu!(lazer) public release 2024.725.0 solely for the osu! game mode.
• In the initial release, free mods were not selectable, and the total pass count as well as the cumulative total score were only added in a later update.
