Oculus Quest will add 90Hz support for games, built-in fitness tracker

The 90Hz refresh rate support promised by

Oculus on all platforms has arrived. Oculus has launched an important software upgrade for Quest, which will make Home, Guardian and Passthrough run at 90Hz by default, which also means that 90Hz games can be played on VR headsets.

In fact, this Facebook subsidiary now allows developers to sell Quest games with native 90Hz support. Existing VR games include SUPERHOT, Echo VR, Beat Saber, Vacation Simulator, Job Simulator, Racket. Nx and Space Pirate Trainer will also update the 90Hz function in the near future.

Now you can expect the entire VR experience to be smoother, which may also mean that the chance and frequency of motion sickness is reduced. The refresh rate of the Oculus Quest 2 headset is 72Hz. Before this update, you can only choose to enter the 90Hz mode of home environment, exploration, store, browser and Oculus TV through the function panel of the platform. The

team will also bring 90Hz support to Oculus Link, allowing you to switch between 72Hz, 80Hz and 90Hz from the Oculus PC App. Oculus introduced Link in 2019, allowing you to connect the Quest headset to a gaming PC with a cable. Once connected, you can access the Rift experience on a standalone VR headset. At present, this function has finished testing and will be further promoted.

In addition to enabling 90Hz gaming, the software update also brings Oculus Move to Quest and Quest 2. Oculus Move was first disclosed by Facebook in September. It is the platform's built-in fitness tracker, which can help you track the calories and active time you may consume when playing VR games such as Beat Saber.

Oculus will also release App Gifting later this month, allowing you to purchase games or experiences from the Oculus store and then send them to friends. To take advantage of this new feature, just look for the "Buy for Friends" button on the website or find it in the more menu in the app.
