Unity supports development for Meta Quest 2, 3, and 3S.
The following sections outline Unity’s resources and packages to develop for Meta Quest devices.
Unity provides multiple packages that you can use to develop for Meta Quest devices. The route you choose to develop for Meta Quest depends on whether you’re also targeting other XRAn umbrella term encompassing Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) applications. Devices supporting these forms of interactive applications can be referred to as XR devices. More info
See in Glossary platforms.
Refer to the following table to understand when to use each of Unity’s Meta Quest-compatible packages:

Tip: You can use the Unity OpenXR plug-inA set of code created outside of Unity that creates functionality in Unity. There are two kinds of plug-ins you can use in Unity: Managed plug-ins (managed .NET assemblies created with tools like Visual Studio) and Native plug-ins (platform-specific native code libraries). More info
See in Glossary and the Unity Meta OpenXR package together to develop a cross-platform application that has additional features tailored for Meta Quest devices.
To learn more about the packages Unity provides for XR development, refer to XR packages.
Meta also provides packages to develop for Meta Quest in Unity. Refer to Meta’s Import XR packages documentation to learn about the packages Meta provides.
Note: These packages and related documentation are maintained by Meta.
You can use the following templates as a starting point for your Meta Quest project:
