The Surface Studio is now ready for Windows Mixed reality with its latest batch of updates.

Microsoft recently began rolling out a set of updates to the Surface Studio, bringing along official support for Windows Mixed Reality (WMR). Labeled as compatibility and performance updates, the firmware updates add dedicated WMR feature support to the Surface Studio's graphics driver, Bluetooth radio adapter, and network controller.

Here's a full look at what's new:

  • Marvell AVASTAR Bluetooth Radio Adapter - Bluetooth - 15.68.9120.47 required to support Windows Mixed Reality features.
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX driver - Display adapters - 21.21.13.8795 required to support Windows Mixed Reality features.
  • Marvell AVASTAR Wireless-AC Network Controller – Network adapters - 15.68.9120.47 required to support Windows Mixed Reality features.

These updates, which follow similar WMR updates for other Surface devices, should be available now via Windows Update. Keep in mind that you'll need to be running the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update to begin experimenting with a Windows Mixed Reality headset.
