8k-resolution videos are now supported by YouTube on Meta Quest

Unannounced, YouTube for Meta Quest now offers 8K quality video streaming. The most recent edition, 1.54, is a noteworthy improvement for the Meta Quest series, which is well-known for its accessibility and wide range of VR material.

Users may now watch material with significantly greater quality thanks to this upgrade, since they were previously restricted to resolutions below 8K.

A crisper and more immersive viewing experience is promised by the upgrade to 8K resolution, even if the functionality is limited to the Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) format.
The benefits of higher resolution cannot be overemphasized, even if 8K material may not be widely available. This is especially true for virtual reality (VR), where visual closeness is an important consideration. The fact that there is a “noticeable” quality difference between 4K and 8K video, according to Nick Sutrich of Android Central, highlights the importance of this upgrade for Meta Quest players.
The addition of 8K capability demonstrates Meta Quest’s dedication to developing VR technology and improving user experiences. With the fast evolution of virtual reality as a popular entertainment medium, YouTube is now positioned to lead the way in providing users with high-caliber content with this upgrade.

After upgrading to version 1.54, viewers will see that the video resolution selector now offers 8K resolution streaming, labeled “4320p.”. This improvement opens the door for future developments in VR video streaming technology while also enhancing the YouTube library of material now accessible.
Even if 8K resolution adoption is still in its infancy, it is a big step in the right direction toward the goal of achieving unmatched visual quality in virtual reality. Innovations like these strengthen Meta Quest’s standing as a top platform for immersive entertainment experiences as virtual reality (VR) continues to gain popularity.
