How do I update my Meta Quest 2 or Meta Quest software?

When there is a new software release, your Meta Quest 2 or Meta Quest headset will update automatically when connected to Wi-Fi and turned on.

To make sure your software updates automatically, make sure to:

  • Charge your headset.
  • Keep your headset turned on.
  • Keep your Meta Quest 2 or Meta Quest connected to Wi-Fi.
  • Leave your headset on a flat surface without moving it or blocking the inside sensor for an extended period of time.

Note: Your Meta Quest 2 or Meta Quest will not update automatically while turned off or sleeping.

To manually check for software updates:

  1. Press  on your right Touch controller to pull up your universal menu.
  2. Hover over the clock on the left side of the universal menu. When Quick Settings appears, select it to open the Quick Settings panel.
  3. Select  Settings in the top right corner.
  4. Select  System, then select  Software Update from the left menu.

From here, you can check your current software version. If a new version is available, a button to download the update will appear.
