The Quest 2’s 120Hz refresh rate to be enabled by default
September 6, 2022
The Quest 2’s 120Hz refresh rate has been an experimental feature for over a year now (opens in new tab), meaning you had to dive into the settings to enable it at your own risk. Once enabled, it has allowed some apps to take advantage of the VR headset’s secretly speedy refresh rate. However, with various hoops to jump through for users to utilise the faster refresh rate, not all have done so.
That might change with the imminent introduction of the 120Hz refresh rate as default for the VR headset. Consulting CTO of Meta’s VR team and founder of Id Software, John Carmack, has confirmed that the 120Hz experimental feature will soon be made “default-on.”
120 fps has been an “experimental feature” on Quest 2 for a long time, and we are finally going to make it default-on. Any app that plays 60 fps video should consider 120 fps display — it avoids the flicker of 60 fps display, and makes imperfect release tempo less harsh.September 5, 2022
