Deploying and optimizing UG for Meta Quest

Unity details how Continuum XR built UG for Meta Quest as a live multiplayer VR game that mixes creature collection, social play, and physics-heavy traversal. The team leaned on Unity 6, Photon Fusion 2 Shared Mode, Unity Version Control, and Meta Quest Developer Hub to keep builds moving quickly from branch to headset.

For developers, the interesting part is the workflow: APKs are built in Unity Hub, deployed in minutes, then promoted through main, live, dev, beta, and feature branches. The team uploads debug symbols to Meta, watches Mixpanel daily, and uses custom crash reporting with rate-limited uploads and full stack traces to catch issues before they spread.

Performance is treated as a hard constraint, not a tuning pass. UG targets 72 fps on Quest hardware, with the team using the Unity Profiler and Meta dashboards to track frame drops, rendering spikes, and object-heavy scenes. That surfaced problems like the DinoDex scene-search stutter and networked shelf spawns that were causing freezes and crashes.

Security and compatibility also shape deployment. Early Access brought modders and hackers, so Continuum XR added obfuscation, Meta attestation, PlayFab checks, and minimum-version enforcement. The team also moved from Unity 2021.1 to Unity 6 for stability and better Fusion support, spending about a week on migration and fixing an animation overflow issue with custom tools.
