Do you need a link cable for Steam VR?

Best Answer

Actually, going the link cable route does make a difference, especially if you're aiming for the best performance. It's not mandatory, but for those high-speed, action-packed games, it can really enhance your experience. Think of it as the difference between streaming a movie on Wi-Fi vs. wired internet. Works fine without it, but smoother with it.

Wireless is the future! I've been gaming on my Quest 2 with Virtual Desktop and the experience is mind-blowing. Couldn't be happier without a cable tying me down.

Nope, you don't *need* a link cable for Steam VR, but it kinda depends on the headset you're using. If you've got an Oculus Quest 1 or 2, you can go wireless with an app like Virtual Desktop or use the Oculus Air Link feature. But, if you're all about that high-quality life and less latency, a link cable is your best friend.
