Experience a new level of immersion with your Meta Quest 3, as Google’s YouTube VR app now supports 8K resolution. This upgrade brings crystal-clear quality to your 360-degree videos, making your VR experience more lifelike than ever before.
Despite the impressive 8K resolution, the Quest 3’s displays offer better than 2K-per-eye quality, surpassing even the best VR headsets like the Apple Vision Pro and the Pimax Crystal Super. This means sharper, more detailed images that truly transport you to another world.
Update your YouTube VR app
To enjoy 8K resolution, ensure your YouTube VR app is updated to version 1.54 or higher and that you are using a Meta Quest 3. Unfortunately, this upgrade is not available for Quest Pro and Quest 2 users due to their older Qualcomm Snapdragon chips.
The update also enhances the quality of VR180 videos, which are already in 3D. While you only get 180 degrees of movement, the most captivating parts of a 360-degree video are usually in front of you, making VR180 videos perfect for your Quest 3.
In conclusion, the YouTube VR update is a game-changer for Meta Quest 3 owners interested in 360 or 3D videos. For Quest 2 and Quest Pro users, Meta Quest TV remains the best option for high-resolution video content.
