Meta XR performance settings in Unreal Engine

Updated: Dec 18, 2024
The Meta XR Performance Window makes it easy to set some recommended performance settings for your Meta Quest projects.
You can easily set recommended performance settings for your Meta Quest projects in the Meta XR Performance Window. Use this window to enable or ignore each performance setting. Each setting disappears after you enable it or select Ignore, but you can select Unhide at the bottom of the window to show the ignored settings if desired. The window shows a description of each setting along with links to relevant information.
Note: This window is intended to simplify performance settings adjustment. If you need a more comprehensive way to manage your project settings, use the standard Project Settings screens.
