The Quest 3 is getting a slew of new features — so much so that you might as well call it the Quest 3.5.

According to a new Meta blog post, the social media tech giant is rolling out a new update called "v60." It's set to deliver game-changing perks designed to improve your virtual reality experience.

Read on to find out which new features the head-mounted displays are getting.

1. Performance upgrade

Meta is delivering better performance to the Quest Pro by allowing higher clock speeds for the device's CPU and GPU, particularly while running mixed-reality applications. Here's what this means for you:

• The CPU is reportedly 34% faster

• The GPU is reportedly 19% faster

• Smooth-running apps while using mixed-reality

• Better responsiveness

This uptick in performance is a feature that developers will benefit from, too, so fingers crossed that the Quest Pro gets some new apps that take advantage of the extra boost.

2. New homes

The "home" environment in Quest is where you hang out before you launch an app. It's also a place where you can chill with friends and watch Quest TV. You can also use it as a launching pad for diving into multiplayer games with other Quest users.

Now, on top of striking home environments that are already available to Quest users, Meta is adding three more:

As a cherry on top, Meta is also improving Boundary, the feature that visually tells you — with an illuminated grid — the border between your play space and the hurdles in your environment. Speaking from experience, with the Quest 2, you often have to redraw the Boundary, which can get annoying.

Fortunately, with v60, Meta announced that "you'll spend less time redrawing boundaries," thanks to some new cloud-computing capabilities. However, you'll need to share your point cloud data with Meta to opt into this new update.

3. Find out what you and other Quest users have in common

For example, when you visit other users' profiles, you can see shared experiences and connections (e.g., mutual friends and apps you've explored). If this is too revealing for your tastes, don't worry, you can make this information private.

Meta is rolling v60 out now. "If you don't see v60 update yet, remain clam," the blog post said. "It's on its way and should be in your virtual hands soon."
