Late last year, Oculus updated their best-selling standalone VR headset with an impressive 90Hz update, making life inside VR worlds that much smoother. Now, according to rumours, it may go one better.
It’s not 100% confirmed as yet but it came as a response during an Instagram Q&A session with Andrew ‘Boz’ Bosworth, the vice president at Facebook Reality Labs. He was asked whether the Quest 2 would get a 120Hz refresh rate update and, in response, gave a thumbs up, as reported by VR news site Road To VR. Â
This would be an exciting prospect given that the headset is far cheaper than the nearest 120Hz alternatives and can run on it’s own without the need for a PC, though it remains to be seen how it could both keep cool and run for enough time on the internal battery with this mode enabled.
The Quest and Quest 2 have sold far better than Oculus expected, allowing them to retain their focus on making improvements and also creating a rumoured follow-up to be released in a few year’s time. There are plenty of great games and apps available for the device, including a new ‘ App Lab’ update which brings new apps in development to every customer through demos, beta releases and indie style apps.
