Oculus Quest is a new virtual reality headset that’s been announced by Oculus. It’s a device that you put on your head and it gives you the ability to use your computer to control all of your VR games. You can also use it to watch movies and TV shows in virtual reality. The Oculus Quest is available now for $399.99. It’s not available yet on Steam, but it will be soon. The first games that you can play with the Oculus Quest are “ EVE: Valkyrie ” and “ Star Wars Battlefront II .”
The general point of this update is to make connecting your Quest or Quest 2 headset SteamVR a smoother process. In the patch notes, Valve said:
Basically, SteamVR will notify you that you need to turn on Oculus Link before they can use SteamVR. Additionally, if the Oculus service isn’t running on the PC, Steam will let you know. It takes the guesswork out of the process.
These changes won’t revolutionize playing virtual reality games on your Quest or Quest 2 headset, but it will make getting started more straightforward, which is excellent for new users looking to jump outside of the Oculus ecosystem and into SteamVR.
The new software is currently in beta, so you’ll need to opt into SteamVR’s beta by right-clicking on SteamVR in your Steam Library, then clicking Properties, and finally going to the Betas tab. From there, click on SteamVR Beta Update to get the beta software.
