I expect the tracking of Quest Plus to improve over time thanks to software updates, though. Quest 2 and Quest Pro are also getting a relevant performance boost (+26% CPU +19% GPU for Quest 2) thanks to a software update. That’s why Quest Touch Pro controllers are better. The launch price is $499 for the 128GB version.
