Why is Steam VR so laggy on Quest 2?

It's usually down to a couple of reasons - your WiFi connection might not be strong or stable enough, especially if you're using the Quest 2 wirelessly via Air Link. Another common culprit is your PC's specs not meeting the requirements for VR gaming. Steam VR and Quest 2 demand a lot from your system, so make sure everything's up to snuff!

Try lowering the graphics settings in your SteamVR games. High graphics demand can cause lag, and the Quest 2, while mighty, can't handle everything at max settings. Also, ensure no background processes are hogging your PC's resources.

Actually, I think the lag is part of the charm. Gives you that retro, low-fi experience in a cutting-edge VR setting. Who doesn't want that?

I had the same issue! Turned out my PC needed an upgrade. Once I improved my GPU and ensured my WiFi was on point, the difference was night and day. Don't skimp on hardware if you want a smooth VR experience.
