Asgard’s Wrath 2 now has two optional enhancements on Quest 3 as part of its first patch.
Asgard’s Wrath 2 arrived on Quest 2, Quest Pro, and Quest 3 last week. But despite being bundled with every Quest 3, the game doesn’t currently include any graphical enhancements for the new headset, which has more than twice the GPU performance.
Patch 1, released today, adds two toggle settings for Quest 3 players as the first step in addressing this. The first toggle is for 90Hz refresh rate, and the second toggle is called Enhanced Rendering Features.
Both toggles can be used together simultaneously – this isn’t a case of a performance vs quality mode.
Asgard’s Wrath 2 Launches Without Quest 3 Graphics Upgrades
Asgard’s Wrath 2 Is out now. It’s included free with every Quest 3, but there are no Quest 3 graphical upgrades at launch.
But wait – didn’t Asgard’s Wrath 2 already run at 90Hz on Quest 3?
Before the game launched Oculus Studios told UploadVR it would run at 90Hz on Quest 3 at launch except in “rare” intense moments when it would dynamically throttle to 72Hz. But many Quest 3 players have noticed the game running at a constant 72Hz, and a few days ago Meta informed us that there is an “issue” with the game’s refresh rate system.
Patch 1 instead delivers 90Hz on Quest 3 as an optional setting, always-on when enabled.
Asgard’s Wrath 2 Review: Godly Scale, But At What Cost?
Asgard’s Wrath 2 presents Quest users with godly scale, but at what cost? Read our review-in-progress:
The other toggle for Quest 3 owners in Patch 1, Enhanced Rendering Features, increases the game’s rendering resolution and extends the LOD distances.
LOD (Level of Detail) refers to how some games load lower quality 3D assets the further away you are from an object, which we prominently noticed in our review.
Oculus Studios says Sanzaru Games will evaluate the feasibility of “additional enhancement options” for Asgard’s Wrath 2 on Quest 3 next year. So Patch 1 might only be the start of Asgard’s Wrath 2 taking advantage of Quest 3, with basic enhancements to keep players going over Christmas.
Keep an eye out for our final review verdict on Asgard’s Wrath 2 coming later this week.
