How To Play Oculus & Steam PC VR Games On Oculus Quest 2

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

Update - Virtual Desktop's PC VR streaming patch will now form part of the official Virtual Desktop app on the Oculus Quest Store without the need for Sideloading so things just got a lot easier for us all! []-)

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

For those asking about latency. I used a bitrate of 150mbps in Virtual Desktop which is the max setting right now and had a latency of 22-30ms in the Virtual Desktop streamer app. This video was mainly aimed at beginners without getting too technical. I'll probably do a full guide on wireless settings etc once Oculus Quest 2 is released []-)

Found your videos after recently purchasing a quest 2. Watching your gameplay (saints and sinners) and your clear/concise informative breakdowns of how this standalone VR headset works (in videos like this one) has been a pleasure- not to mention incredibly helpful. I love it. I feel like I’m prepared and more excited than ever for when my very own quest 2 arrives in the mail. What with quality, enjoyment and usefulness of this content I’d be daft to not stick around. I’m very glad I happened upon your Chanel and I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos.

Hello tyriel... question, the quest 2 are native 6ghz wifi or not?? it is really possible to run games wireless in a good way??

[@Tyrielwood]

@@RaxMD wifi 6 doesn't always mean 6ghz unfortunately, the quest 2 has the support for 5ghz wifi 6 that as mike showed arrives to 1200mbp, it's an improvement but it's not the 6ghz channel that would unlock even more data and less latency. for now wifi 6 (ax) and wifi ac give pretty much the same experience. It's possibile to run games wireless and enjoy it tho :) that's what me and mike are doing :) (of course there is some added latency)

[@HumzahHussain]

I love my Quest 2! Once I had setup Virtual Desktop to stream PCVR from my Gaming PC to the Quest 2, I literally stopped using my Valve Index completely to the point where I got rid of it. As good as the Index is (And it is freaking amazing), for me the freedom of wireless VR and the increase in resolution at 90Hz just makes the Quest 2 (IMO) the overall best PCVR headset (As long as you can convince yourself not to care about the Facebook limitation). Would highly recommend people spend the $20/$15 on Virtual Desktop first before getting the Oculus Link cable if they want to play PCVR on their Quest 2, mainly because if it works great for you then you not only save quite a fair bit of money but you also get wireless VR for $20/£15 on top of the Quest 2's price which for me is amazing!

[@jackmonroe241]

This left me with questions? -How bad is the latency with PC VR wired setup? -What is the latency like wirelessly on wifi 6? Waiting to get my Quest 2 in the mail :)

Thank you so much for all your "how to" vids. I got the oculus quest 2 for this ability and would have had a much harder time getting it set up if I had not found you. I know this video is a bit older but it helped me be more familiar with figuring it all out.

[@rodmunch69]

The official Oculus cable is pretty great, it is very flexible and light and has, I believe, the full 10Gbps speed. Maybe with the Quest 2 they actually considering that when making it, because with that much bandwidth everything should work perfectly if Oculus puts any effort into it. As for the aftermarket cables + extension, for me I tried out several combination of these and had all sorts of issues with noise and dropped frames/dropped signals, not to mention the heavier and less flexible cables were a lot less comfortable. It doesn't seem like flex in the cable would be a big deal, but it really is. I don't know why someone doesn't make a good thin aftermarket cable, but as far as I know, there isn't anyone else that makes a cable like what Oculus produces. Personally I tried to go cheap, went through a bunch of returns on Amazon, and eventually gave up and just got the Oculus cable and I think it was worth it, and if the Quest 2 uses that bandwidth, then it's really worth it.

[@steve30b]

Thanks for the info Rod. i have ordered the official oculus cable. does this plug into my motherboard usbc socket on the back of my computer ?. my grafix card (rtx 2060) does not have a usbc socket on it.

I am not sure the part about the wifi 5 vs wifi 6 is right as it would be dependent on what ac/ax is capable itself. Kind like USB c and how there are different levels of it. A quick analogy: you can have a USB-B 3.0 but then a USB-C 2.0, even though the B is older, in this case it is faster.

Could be very useful for this type of gaming.

With Quest 1, I've found Link with pulleys way superior to Virtual Desktop because for one thing, the pulleys takes quite a bit of the weight off (you gotta divert the cable through the top strap though, not just let it pull from the side) AND it's completely stutter-free.

thats an improvement of 25% or in other words 25% reduced network latency. However contrary to popular belief, its actually the encoding/decoding that creates the latency not the transmission medium assuming both are of a good standard

[@YayDanMan]

Adrian Meredith no, what OP has listed is bandwidth, or the amount of data that can be sent in a given measure of time Don’t confuse that with latency, or the time it takes for two devices to send/receive any amount of data

What they can struggle with is Delivering that wealth of information in a way thats interesting or doesnt just turn into a drone. You delivered a lot of information in a short amount of time and dumbed it down to a nice relaxing level, getting to the points quickly and spent the right amount of time on each of them.

already have cables like this that most probably work to the headset because they are differite but the port part at the finish of the cable is the same thanks very much i want to get a oculus quest 2 for my birthday

[@Chann3l0]

Love your videos man, you have great energy always up beat, keep em comming!

[@Chief_Warthog]

I`m done with the Oculus! i`m to trust FB data thieves?

[@Chief_Warthog]

@@22oreos Very true,But i had the option to do so. either way i could still use YT .Something not afforded to me with the Oculus.

[@gamingdad2549]

Sorry to tell you but every site you sign up for tracks and uses your data, not like Facebook are the 1st, Plus you're just listening to speculations for conspiracies that have no evidence of being true.

[@gamingdad2549]

Let's see you play your Steam games without using your steam account.

[@lolzombieeddy626]

my m8, me again, i got a quest and have a pc to run it now and i was wondering why i couldnt just play steam vr games, this vid was a big help, thanks :)

[@coolguy338]

thank you so much for this video! I had no idea how to set up my steam vr with the headset! thank you!

[@joeywouters5931]

so if i do this i dont have to download the games on my oculus itself? cus im tempted to buy the 256gb one cus of this reason.

[@adambateson6705]

for your cable stick some cable managment on your ceiling you won't trip over it then. you can get them from amazon ebay stick ones to no need to drill holes.

[@skeeter452]

Just bought a quest 2 today cant wait!

[@unbannablebob395]

I am so glad this will work with Steam. I just got a new gaming laptop with the i7-10875H, 32 gigs RAM and an RTX 2080 MAX. It's gonna be beautiful.

[@specialeddd]

Thank you so much man! I got so confused trying to connect it and u helped alot!

[@red3yekingg]

Bro so I hope someone reads this cause this is just wild, but also pointless I just thought it was awesome. I went I to Walmart to get this vrset and then to parking lot to watch a quick video if I needed a cable to play on pc cause I noticed on the box there wasn’t one besides the charger. So I go back into Walmart and get the first type-C to type-C decently long (10 feet) cable I could find. I sit back in the Walmart parking lot and see the video before this just to double check and he talks about how he’s gonna talk about this video soon. So I scroll through his channel and find this video. He’s at 3:15 when he talks about the cheaper version which just so happens to be the cable I get!! And I’m so happy about it cause a new VR user Thats been wanting one for so long but didn’t have the money just yet I’m so happy I didn’t get the 80$ original cable and so luckily got the anker one!!! Silly little story I hope someone can relate :)

[@VincentCottier]

I bought a Rift-S two days ago... returning it against a Quest 2 today !

[@donaldcedar7574]

Ok but once you have it all set up how do you go back and forth from the oculus "home page" to PCVR "home page"? Best I can come up with is plug/unplug the link cable. There has to be a way to do it within the oculus 2 interface when you're wearing your headset.

[@vidarCRC]

Today I fanally got my Quest 2, loved my og Quest, and this thing is absolutely beautiful

[@jedlovekin760]

I have got 2 questions: 1) If you connect the vr headset to your pc, do you download the games on the vr headset or the pc? 2) Can you access all steam vr games or is it just some of them?

[@nukethief1]

is switch pro controller or s20 fe 5g cable good enough?

[@M440iUK]

I'm running a GTX 1080 which worked well with the Oculus via a 3rd party link cable, is the benefit of a 2080 or 3080 that much greater considering the cost? Looking forward to receiving my Oculus 2 tomorrow!! Keep up the good work.

[@tomodaniel6471]

what usb c to usb cable i should buy if u dont want to buy the 100€ from oculus i dont want usb c do usb A...

[@calebmunson990]

Every time i launch the oculus link (i have a quest 2) it just takes me back to home screen and doesnt open rift hub

[@AquaNobody]

SAME! Did you happen to fix this???

[@DoubleJJProductions]

thank you so much i been trying to figure this out for 2 days

[@TDREXrx9]

just got one for Christmas super lucky, but I was even luckier to have gotten a RTX3080 for my gaming PC cant wait to see what it can do just need the cable

[@chrispy3369]

I'm having a little trouble with mine. I see that when you connect your pc to the quest 2, you go into a different hub. Now how do you get there, I keep getting stuck on the og hub.

[@usernameorsomething6270]

I ran into a problem. I have everything setup but my headset will not connect to the oculus app because I'm not using link. How do i fix this?

[@zoross2077]

Do i need steam vr to play a steam vr game like blades and sorcery?

[@majorwakanda8858]

just picked up the quest 2 thanks to a few videos on this channel including this one. Subscribed. Looking forward to far cry VR!

[@rcbif101]

Dumb Question - Does it just plug into any high speed USB port? If I'm buying a PC to connect to in the future, should I go out of my way to be sure the graphics card has a USB-C port?

[@Kerosian1]

not on the gpu, just on the pc in general. I'm using link on an old usb 2.0 port with no problems.

[@rcbif101]

@@Kerosian1 Are you running games, or just a remote desktop though? I thought the spec was 3.0?

[@Kerosian1]

it used to be. Usb 2.0 can't do as high of a bitrate, but it works just fine for me. I've played Half Life: Alyx, Dirt Rally 2, Onward, Pavlov, Boneworks, VtolVR, and more through it with no issues.

[@MC-yb5le]

You gave a disclaimer back on 9-28-2020. How is the method working today to play steam on the Quest 2 on 10-19-20. What are the negatives if Oculus goes haywire? Quest 2 is limited IF not on Steam.
