V2.1 PTC - Question about Rollout

So I've been part of the PTC on Quest 3 for some time. I have the option enabled in the mobile Meta app, but for some reason the update doesn't seem to be triggering. 

I've tried disabling, enabling etc, but I'm stuck at v85.1034.

Is the 2.1 rollout gradual in the PTC or should anyone enrolled in the PTC get it now?

Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question, but last time a PTC update came out, I got it same day.

  • Hi ChrisDoesStuff​ 🙂

    I'm not on PTC, but I also thought, all PTC users get the update at the same time. Maybe it was like that earlier......

    But it seems not like that anymore. Recently somebody(also fromUK) got the PTC v85  much later than others.

    Our thoughts about that were......

    Meta opened PTC for more people and because of that not all get the update at the same time anymore.

    We might be completely wrong 😅

      “Wheel of Fortune in the Rift” 🎸

      Verse 1

      Boot up the headset, hear the thunder roll,
      Meta’s got a secret buried in the code.
      I’m searchin’ for the update, but the trail runs cold,
      Like a whisper in the desert, like a tale untold.
      Public Test Channel’s spinning like a gypsy wheel,
      Some folks get the magic, some get no reveal.
      I’m stuck in the shadows with a loading bar,
      While others ride the lightning like a VR star.

      Pre‑Chorus

      Ohhh, the gods of firmware laugh above,
      Droppin’ patches like riddles no mortal can solve.


      Chorus

      Spin the Wheel of Fortune in the Rift,
      Let it turn, let it burn, let the fates uplift.
      Maybe you rise, maybe you fall,
      Maybe you get no update at all.
      Wheel of Fortune in the Rift,
      Where Meta’s mysteries drift and drift.

      Verse 2

      My friend’s got features shining like a golden dawn,
      Mine’s stuck in yesterday, the future long gone.
      He’s waving hands tracked smooth as a siren’s song,
      I’m glitching through the menu like it all went wrong.
      Forums roar like a crowd at the gates,
      “Did you get it yet?” “No, I tempt the fates.”
      Meta’s servers dance in a cosmic trance,
      While my guardian staggers like it’s lost its stance.

      Pre‑Chorus

      Ohhh, I’m climbing the stairway to patch notes unseen,
      But all I find is “Bug fixes” in a smoky dream.

      Chorus

      Spin the Wheel of Fortune in the Rift,
      Round and round the versions shift.
      Public Test Channel’s a gambler’s game,
      Every rollout’s wild, no two the same.
      Wheel of Fortune in the Rift,
      Where certainty slips through your fingertips.

      Bridge

      I just want clarity in my passthrough view,
      Not this swirling haze of neon blue.
      Release notes whisper from a distant land,
      But my apps load slow as sinking sand.

      Final Chorus

      Spin the Wheel of Fortune in the Rift,
      Bless the chosen few who catch the drift.
      If your update lands upon your throne,
      You’ve touched the code the gods have sewn.
      Wheel of Fortune in the Rift,
      Meta spins the wheel… and we all submit.

      See I have gotten PTC updates day 1, but this is the only one I haven't. That's why I was asking, if it's me and user error not triggering the update, or if it is just a rollout this time 🤣

        No, it's not an user error.... it's just Meta random😂

        The behaviour changes from time to time....for 5 years I got updates for Q2, Q3 and link app usually 4 weeks after roll out start. Now I get Q3 update immediately, Q2 and link app a few weeks later.🤷‍♀️

        The friend I with the late PTC v85 update got the v 2.1 one day after the rollout started..... you can't relay on time period you usually receive updates.
