No it can't? There are other rhythm games at the arcade, but they're not Beat Saber.
There's literal beat saber cabinets. In retrospect they may have had a helmet, but it's all rendered in front of you on a screen anyway. Aside from the wall dodging which is pretty minor, you don't need VR to play beat saber at all. All of the action happens a meter in front of you in a constant direction.
IIRC those got canceled a while back. Maybe some are still around, grandfathered in, but I don't think there's new ones.

What are these cabinets called? I've never seen them anywhere. Do they have a VR helmet or not? If so, they are probably just clones trying to ride on the success of Beat Saber which continues to rank very high in charts of best VR games. I personally find the best Beat Saber levels are 90 degree and 360 degree, where you have to spin your body around and which wouldn't be possible in such cabinets. Also the immersio…

Oh, oops, sorry, I somehow misunderstood you. -1 for reading comprehension. Thanks!
I googled them and yeah they have an official arcade version, which are basically a HTC Vive headset with the Vive controllers. Apparently according to several reviews, the tracking is horrible, the headset can't be tightened properly, and the choice of songs is miserable, and they don't seem to support 90 or 360 degrees. And yes of course you are right, you could just render it on a screen, in fact, if you are playing PC VR, it always renders to your monitor anyways. When I have friends over, I always have the view mirrored to a projector for "party mode" - just like in the arcade - which allows spectators to enjoy the show as well.
The real question is, have you played it in VR? You don't "need" VR to play but it's absolutely a different experience than just looking at a screen, for the reasons I stated in my previous comment. It's not even comparable when your brain _believes_ (to some degree) that you are actually inside the Beat Saber world.
