Quest 2 & Quest Pro users can expect significant increases in resolution or framerate for most games. These headsets will be automatically overclocked, allowing you to reach Quest 3 settings in many titles.
Quest 3 & Quest 3S users can expect significant increases to framerates or resolutions in Quest 3-exclusive games, and drastic improvements to both in less demanding titles. These headsets have twice the processing power as the Quest 2, and can often reach PCVR-like settings when fully utilized.
Quest 1 users should not expect significant improvements.
All standalone VR Applications can be automatically or manually tuned in Quest Game Tuner. You can also tune the home environment, which can improve your experience when using 2D apps on the headset. Quest Game Tuner cannot tune PCVR applications.
2D apps cannot be individually tuned, but you can make them visible to be searched and launched.
Yes, as long as they are VR apps which run on the Quest. Auto-tuning works best on unmodified apps from the Meta Quest Store. Highly modified or homebrew apps can still be tuned, but may need a bit of manual tuning.
Absolutely not. While Quest Game Tuner can cause your hardware to run at elevated performance levels, these levels are within specifications and are totally safe. Your headset may get warm or drain it's battery faster, though.
In the unlikely case that your headset is unable to cool itself, it will lower performance or shut down before it is able to overheat.
Almost nothing. When you activate Quest Game tuner, it gets your headset's randomized device ID - this is the only data I'll ever collect.
Everything else, including Auto-Tuning and settings, is done, and stored, fully on-device.
If enabled, the optional background service used to detects launches via windowStateChanged events, and can't see your interactions or inputs.
Yes. I've handled confidential data on multi-billion dollar projects at my day job, so I make sure to handle security with care.
A privileged ADB connection is required to apply tuning settings. Quest Game Tuner securely generates an X.509 certificate on setup, which is unique to both you and your device. This certificate is held in private storage, is used to secure all ADB interactions.
Quest Game Tuner does not track your playtime. If you give it access to playtime and usage data, Quest Game Tuner will never uploaded or saved this data.
If enabled, the optional background service can automatically interact with certain system prompts only under very specific conditions.
All Quest Tuner data is in Android/data. You'll need to connect your Quest to a PC and click the file access notification. Then, navigate to Android\data\com.threethan.tuner\ in your Quest 3's shared storage.
These files can be modified/backed up/restored manually, but Quest Game Tuner will only ever detect supported settings. Profiles for 2D apps will never apply.
Use the Don't Tune (App Decides All) profile to disable tuning for a specific app. Set it to the default tuning profile to disable tuning for all apps on the default profile. This will still let you tune specific apps and use Quest Game Tuner's other features.
