Before you head down this road, know that your PC and network need to be robust to support a pleasant wireless streaming experience. There is a side-loaded add-on from the developer that converts the Oculus USB development drivers to function over a wireless network. It is available in the Quest store for $19.99. Virtual Desktop is a desktop streaming app that allows you to control your desktop PC from your VR headset. It turns out that with a little ingenuity and a couple of apps, you can have your cake and eat it too. Linking works really well with the right cable, but even a single cable can be bothersome once you’ve experienced wireless freedom. Of course, you can use a link cable to connect your Quest to a PC and use it to play Oculus Rift or Steam VR games. There are ports of popular games like Beat Saber, Onward, and Robo-Recall for the Quest headsets, but they don’t quite stack up to the full versions that I play on my Rift. If you have a Rift or Hive you are probably enjoy playing AAA titles like Project Cars 3, Star Wars Squadrons, or the new Half-Life all of which require a powerful desktop PC. However, the electronics inside them are similar to a Nintendo Switch or high-end phone and this means the games are limited to those types of environments. The trade off is a loss of processing power.ĭon’t get me wrong, the Quest, and especially the Quest 2 are packing some serious hardware and can deliver amazing experiences. The experience is more immersive without a tether bouncing off your back and the worry of tripping. Pretty much the first thing people realize after spending a few minutes in virtual reality via the Oculus Quest or Quest 2 headset is that VR should never have wires.
