<h2 id="what-you-need-to-know-3">What you need to know</h2><ul><li>The Meta Quest v59 update adds a Battery Saver mode that extends its capacity by reducing the graphical quality. </li><li>Other Quest 3-exclusive updates include Suggested Boundaries, Assisted Space Setup, and new MR shortcuts.</li><li>Updates for Quest 2 and 3 users include YouTube Live Chat, a redesigned Family Center for parental controls, and hand tracking updates. </li><li>The Quest v59 update will roll out gradually and may not be immediately available.</li></ul><p>The first post-launch update to the Meta Quest 3 is here, and Meta isn't wasting any time adding new features to the headset. But one particular feature designed to fix the Quest 3's battery life woes will generate plenty of discussion. </p><p>The Meta Quest v59 update, which will roll out gradually over the next few days, adds a Battery Saver mode, found in the Full Settings menu under "Power." Interestingly, we can already see a "battery extender" toggle in the current v57 build that works by "lowering overall graphical fidelity."</p><p>Although the Quest 3 has an official 2.2-hour battery life estimate, we've found that the headset can <a data-before-rewrite-localise="https://www.androidcentral.com/gaming/virtual-reality/how-long-does-the-quest-3-battery-last" href="https://www.androidcentral.com/gaming/virtual-reality/how-long-does-the-quest-3-battery-last">struggle to hit the two-hour mark</a> for a single play session, proving that the headset's more powerful Snapdragon chip and higher-resolution display do have some efficiency trade-offs. </p><p>A Battery Saver mode would certainly help but also negate one of the main reasons to buy a <a data-before-rewrite-localise="https://www.androidcentral.com/gaming/virtual-reality/oculus-quest-2-vs-quest-3" href="https://www.androidcentral.com/gaming/virtual-reality/oculus-quest-2-vs-quest-3">Quest 3 over the Quest 2</a>: the graphical boost. </p><p><strong>Update: </strong>Meta got back to us on what, exactly, the Battery Saver mode does: it "reduces FPS to 72Hz, applies fixed foveated rendering, and lowers brightness to 50% (which can be overridden later)." In theory, these changes would still let you enjoy the <a data-before-rewrite-localise="https://www.androidcentral.com/gaming/virtual-reality/which-quest-2-games-have-quest-3-enhancements" href="https://www.androidcentral.com/gaming/virtual-reality/which-quest-2-games-have-quest-3-enhancements">Quest 3 graphical enhancements</a> like texture and shadow boosts, but with less vivid visuals to help the headset last longer. </p><p>Meta wasn't able to tell us how much longer the Quest 3 lasts in this mode.</p><figure data-bordeaux-image-check=""><div><p><picture><source alt="A screenshot showing YouTube Live Chat early access on the Meta Quest v59 update." data-normal="https://vanilla.futurecdn.net/androidcentral/media/img/missing-image.svg" data-original-mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z.jpeg" data-pin-media="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z.jpeg" data-sizes="(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)" data-srcset="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z-320-80.jpeg.webp 320w, https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z-480-80.jpeg.webp 480w, https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z-650-80.jpeg.webp 650w, https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z-970-80.jpeg.webp 970w, https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z-1024-80.jpeg.webp 1024w, https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z-1200-80.jpeg.webp 1200w" onerror="if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)" type="image/webp"></source><source alt="A screenshot showing YouTube Live Chat early access on the Meta Quest v59 update." data-normal="https://vanilla.futurecdn.net/androidcentral/media/img/missing-image.svg" data-original-mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z.jpeg" data-pin-media="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z.jpeg" data-sizes="(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)" data-srcset="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z-320-80.jpeg 320w, https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z-480-80.jpeg 480w, https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z-650-80.jpeg 650w, https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z-970-80.jpeg 970w, https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z-1024-80.jpeg 1024w, https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z-1200-80.jpeg 1200w" onerror="if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)" type="image/jpeg"></source><img alt="A screenshot showing YouTube Live Chat early access on the Meta Quest v59 update." data-normal="https://vanilla.futurecdn.net/androidcentral/media/img/missing-image.svg" data-original-mos="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z.jpeg" data-pin-media="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z.jpeg" data-sizes="(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)" data-srcset="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z-320-80.jpeg 320w, https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z-480-80.jpeg 480w, https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z-650-80.jpeg 650w, https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z-970-80.jpeg 970w, https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z-1024-80.jpeg 1024w, https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/czyMts6JmHfpU4ims5od4Z-1200-80.jpeg 1200w" onerror="if(this.src &amp;&amp; this.src.indexOf('missing-image.svg') !== -1){return true;};this.parentNode.replaceChild(window.missingImage(),this)" src="https://vanilla.futurecdn.net/androidcentral/media/img/missing-image.svg"></img></picture></p></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description"><span itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Meta)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Beyond this feature, the v59 update brings plenty of other additions and fixes, outlined in this <a data-url="https://www.meta.com/blog/quest/v59-software-reactions-youtube-live-chat-livestream-quest-3-extended-battery/?utm_medium=twitter&amp;utm_source=social&amp;utm_campaign=1-aw-v59-20231024&amp;utm_content=3&amp;utm_term=quest" href="https://www.meta.com/blog/quest/v59-software-reactions-youtube-live-chat-livestream-quest-3-extended-battery/?utm_medium=twitter&amp;utm_source=social&amp;utm_campaign=1-aw-v59-20231024&amp;utm_content=3&amp;utm_term=quest" target="_blank">Meta blog post</a> and the <a data-url="https://www.meta.com/help/quest/articles/whats-new/release-notes/" href="https://www.meta.com/help/quest/articles/whats-new/release-notes/" target="_blank">release notes</a>. </p><p>VR-focused YouTubers will appreciate the ability to open YouTube Live Chat in the headset, letting you respond to comments during a livestream without having to take off your Quest 2 or 3.

Anytime you put on your headset somewhere other than your usual playspace, it'll suggest a boundary you can edit based on your surroundings instead of making you draw it from scratch.</p><p>Specific to mixed-reality games, the new "Assisted Space Setup" performs a similar function: if you open an MR app, it'll "run a quick 3D scan of your environment, creating a simple representation of the surfaces in your room, including walls, tables, and other furniture, so you won’t have to manually add them into your space."</p><p>Meta even promises to improve how your hands look while in Quest 3 passthrough mode, "making it more comfortable to interact with panels and apps while in mixed reality." The challenge will be to make your hands visible without making them block your view of menus and text; we're curious what changes Meta will implement. </p><p>Rounding out the long list of updates, Meta promises to bring the Remote Display app — formerly a <a data-before-rewrite-localise="https://www.androidcentral.com/gaming/virtual-reality/meta-quest-pro-review" href="https://www.androidcentral.com/gaming/virtual-reality/meta-quest-pro-review">Quest Pro</a> exclusive — to the Quest 3 and 2 over time, so you can view your PC desktop in-headset. Your avatar in Horizon Home will finally have legs for the first time. And the Family Center in the Meta app will soon let parents set "daily time limits and scheduled breaks" for their teens or kids. </p><p>Meta did a great job of improving the Quest 2 with updates in the years following its launch; we're glad to see that it's immediately taking the same approach with the Quest 3. </p><div data-id="3cd597f5-87f6-483b-af58-67c233a1ac8d">

<p>The Meta Quest 3 has enhanced resolution and graphical performance, full-color mixed reality passthrough for games and spatial awareness, and other upgrades that make it a bit more short-lived than the Quest 2. Battery Saver mode or a battery pack should solve this issue, however, and in most other respects it's an excellent device for VR fans. </p>
