Quest Games Optimizer, a popular paid tool designed for Quest headsets, has now garnered the interest of over 100,000 users. This software, launching in 2022, operates quietly in the background to enhance game performance on Quest devices. It’s been a game-changer for upping resolution, performance, frame rates, and even extending battery life on everything from the original 2019 Quest to the Quest 3S.
The mastermind behind this tool, known as ‘Anagan79’, recently shared that their creation has surpassed the 100,000 user milestone. If we consider all these users paid the full price of $10 for a lifetime license, it stands to reason that the gross revenue from this endeavor could exceed $1 million, a remarkable feat for this small but mighty app.
While it’s true that Quest Games Optimizer isn’t compatible with every Quest game, the developers have curated a handy list of around 1,000 supported apps. Each of these has been tested to ensure they work seamlessly with the optimizer, allowing users to tailor the hardware settings for every game on their headset. You can play around with existing presets or dive into custom options to fine-tune aspects like render resolution, refresh rate, CPU, and GPU levels, as well as fixed foveated rendering.
Unlike most Quest apps, typically found on the official Horizon Store or via the SideQuest platform, Quest Games Optimizer chooses a different route for distribution. It’s available exclusively through its website and is hosted on itch.io, offering users an alternative path to download.
For those wondering how to get the app onto their headsets, SideQuest’s Advanced Installer has you covered. This handy feature simplifies the installation of apk files using a tethered PC connection, making the process straightforward even for those less familiar with the technical side of things.
