The latest Oculus Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro updates are here, with lots of small improvements that should make using your VR headset a little easier.
While not as impressive as February’s addition of the Direct Touch Tool (a feature that uses hand tracking to allow you to “touch” and swipe through virtual menus), this patch’s standout feature allows you to connect to your favorite games and apps. can be easily kept up to date.
When you shut down your headset, you’ll see a toggle for ‘Refresh before powering off’ in the power off menu. When this toggle is on, the headset will update any software that has been patched uninstalled before powering down properly. This reduces the amount of time you have to wait for downloads to complete before enjoying your VR experience. However, be sure to plug in your headset. Otherwise, you may run out of juice before the download is complete.

Another tweak to speed up downloads is the arrival of Wi-Fi 6E support in Meta Quest Pro. If your Meta Quest Pro is connected to a WiFi 6E enabled network, you should be able to enjoy internet speeds of up to 1.6Gbps. Downloads and remote desktop streaming are accelerated if you want to use your VR headset for work.
