The first Post-OC6 Quest Firmware update has been released and should be rolling out to all users throughout the day. As promised, this update brings Passthrough+ and a bunch of other updates!

Here are the full release notes as posted on the Oculus Forums:

Passthrough+

We’ve upgraded the previous version of Passthrough on Quest to Passthrough+.
This updated version of Passthrough improves the representation of the real world around you by enhancing estimations of the depth, size and distance of objects in your real world environment.

Tracking

We know that many Quest owners use their headset to watch their favorite streams, shows, movies and more. To make this easier, you now have the option to turn off Quest's standard inside-out tracking when you don't need it, like for watching movies in the dark or dimly-lit rooms.
Tracking adjustments can be made in one of two ways:If tracking is unable to function in your environment, an error message will provide an option to continue without tracking.You can also manually turn off tracking by selecting Settings > Device > Tracking and switch the toggle to turn tracking off.
Remember that Guardian boundaries—and some apps—require tracking. Neither will work if tracking is off. To help avoid injury or damage, you should only use your Quest in a stationary standing or seated position when tracking is turned off.

Compatible Go/Gear VR apps for Quest

If you own one of 50+ compatible Oculus Go or Gear VR apps, you’ll now have the opportunity to download them from your library and play them on your Oculus Quest.
