Meta Quest 2 & Pro getting multi-touch support for browser, higher clock speeds

Meta has announced that it is rolling out the v55 update on Quest 2 and Quest Pro headsets, which includes multi-touch support for browser, higher central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU) clock speeds, and more.

This software update is rolling out gradually to minimise issues, the company said in a blogpost on Wednesday.

“Both headsets should see an up-to 26 per cent CPU performance increase, while you can expect an up-to 19 per cent GPU speed increase for Quest 2 and 11 per cent GPU speed increase for Quest Pro.”

The company is also enabling Dynamic Resolution Scaling for both Quest 2 and Pro, so that games and applications can take advantage of increased pixel density without dropping frames.

Meta is also adding a standalone virtual reality (VR) Messenger application.
