Oculus Link

Oculus Link allows you to play PC VR games with an Oculus Quest. When you connect your Link cable to your PC, your Quest 2 turns into a high definition display and games are powered from your computer instead of the Android operating system.

The internal Snapdragon processor is not nearly as strong as a real VR gaming PC. In fact, some tests suggest that the Quest 1 is almost 5 times less powerful than a typical gaming PC and Quest 2 50% less powerful.

Plus, the selection of VR games available for PC in the Oculus Home store or Steam VR is far greater than the Quest. So by setting up Oculus Link, you’ve just multiplied the number of games to check out, including some of our top VR games:

Virtual Desktop

If you setup Virtual Desktop on the Oculus Quest 2, you can play Asgards Wrath without any Link cable at all (once you have it installed).

Virtual Desktop is an application that lets you mirror your nearby PC inside of your VR headset. People do this to watch movies, browse the internet, or play games inside of virtual reality, which is more immersive. 

With a little setup time, you can play PC-VR games in your headset with no latency and high quality. This is done by installing the Virtual Desktop mod from SideQuest, which enables playing SteamVR games on the Quest.
