The Latest Meta Quest 3 Update Might Be Its Biggest Yet With Tweaks To Almost Everything Your VR Headset Does
Meta has officially rolled out the v81 Horizon OS update, and the latest Meta Quest 3 update might be its biggest yet with tweaks to almost everything your VR headset does — from multitasking and personalization to how you experience your digital home.
If you’re using a Meta Quest 3 or the 3S, get ready for major upgrades that make your virtual and mixed-reality world feel more alive, customizable, and productivity-friendly than ever.
A Completely Reimagined Horizon Home
Meta has replaced the old Horizon Home setup with a single, high-quality space featuring four immersive environments:
-
Horizon Central: A futuristic skyline filled with energy and light.
-
Midnight: A peaceful night scene under the Northern Lights.
-
Valley: A breathtaking landscape with endless green hills.
-
Oceanarium: A surreal underwater world filled with sea creatures.
These redesigned environments now allow greater freedom of movement. You can explore more naturally and even set up an Instagram Window to showcase photos or videos directly from your Meta social media feed.
Anchor And Customize Your VR Space
The update also adds a new way to personalize your digital home. You can now “anchor” windows — like YouTube, Meta Browser, or even TechRadar — directly into your Horizon space.
This means your open windows stay exactly where you left them, even after you exit and return to your VR Home. Currently, you can anchor up to three windows in VR and three in mixed reality, for a total of six.
It’s a small tweak, but it completely changes how users multitask and organize their digital workspace inside Meta Quest 3.
Productivity Gets A Major Boost
Beyond home customization, the v81 update introduces serious productivity upgrades. Meta now allows up to 12 active windows for multitasking.
However, early testers (including UploadVR and TechRadar) report that the feature may still be rolling out gradually, with most users currently able to manage six active windows at once — three freeform and three in default positions.
Even so, this update signals Meta’s growing focus on turning Quest 3 into more than just a gaming headset — it’s now evolving into a full-fledged VR workstation.
What This Means For Meta Quest 3 Users
This update feels like a glimpse into the future of the Horizon OS ecosystem. With improved environments, smarter multitasking, and integrated social media features, Meta is positioning the Quest 3 as a daily-use VR and MR platform, not just a gaming device.
As Meta continues refining its software, one thing is clear:
The latest Meta Quest 3 update might be its biggest yet with tweaks to almost everything your VR headset does, bringing you closer to the seamless mixed-reality future Meta has long promised.
