How to Play VR Games on Steam with Quest 2

DistributingJoke·7 months ago

Got a Quest 2 and hungry for some Steam VR action? First off, you'll need to download the Oculus app on your PC. Next up, go ahead and install SteamVR from Steam - it's free! With both installed, plug your Quest 2 into your PC using a high-quality USB cable. Open the Oculus app, enable Oculus Link when prompted, and voila! SteamVR should recognize your Quest 2, and you're all set to dive into Steam's vast VR library. Remember, a good cable makes a big difference, so don't skimp on that!

Wireless more your style? No worries! Make sure your PC and Quest 2 are on the same Wi-Fi. Install the Virtual Desktop app on your Quest 2 (yep, it's a paid app, but worth every penny). Then, grab the Virtual Desktop Streamer app for your PC from the Virtual Desktop website. Enter your Oculus username in the streamer app, launch Virtual Desktop on your Quest 2, and if the stars align (they usually do), you'll see your PC screen in VR. Jump into SteamVR from there and game on without any pesky wires!

Honestly, just get a cable. I tried the wireless stuff and the lag was a nightmare. Nothing beats the reliability of a good, old-fashioned link cable.
