Quest Games Optimizer, a nifty piece of software that enhances game performance for Quest users, has hit a significant milestone by surpassing 100,000 users.
Launched back in 2022, Quest Games Optimizer is a handy tool that operates in the background while you’re gaming. Its magic lies in its ability to improve resolution, performance, frame rates, and even battery longevity across all Quest headsets—from the original 2019 model to the latest Quest 3S.
The brains behind this app, known as ‘Anagan79’, recently celebrated the achievement of 100,000 users. If we assume every user purchased the app at its full price of $10, the gross revenue from this endeavor would exceed a whopping $1 million. A million dollars sounds even sweeter considering the app includes a lifetime license.
Now, it’s important to note that the optimizer doesn’t support every single Quest game. However, to make life a little easier, the team has curated a reference list highlighting around 1,000 Quest apps that have been tested and officially approved to work seamlessly with Quest Games Optimizer.
The app works its wonders by allowing you to tweak a variety of hardware settings for each game you have on your device. Whether you want to use a preset or craft your own custom profiles, you can adjust things like render resolution, refresh rate, CPU and GPU levels, and fixed foveated rendering to suit your needs.
Unlike most Quest apps you’d find on the Horizon Store or through SideQuest, the well-known sideloading platform, Quest Games Optimizer is a bit of an outlier. It’s offered solely through its website and distributed via itch.io, which adds an interesting twist to acquiring the app.
That said, sideloading the app isn’t overly complex. One of the simplest methods is using SideQuest’s Advanced Installer, which allows you to install APK files through a PC connection, making the app accessible even for those who may not be tech wizards.
