Steam Link Allows Wireless Streaming of VR Games to Meta Quest Headsets
Valve's Steam Link app is now available for Meta Quest headsets, allowing users to play VR games wirelessly.
Easy Access to VR Games on Quest
Valve's Steam Link app, which enables game streaming from a user's Steam library to another device, is now compatible with Meta Quest 2, 3, and Pro headsets. This means that VR enthusiasts can conveniently play their favorite games wirelessly on their Quest devices. For example, it's now easier than ever to play popular VR game Half-Life: Alyx on the Quest headset.
To take advantage of the wireless streaming feature, Valve recommends having a router with a wired connection to the PC and a 5GHz WiFi network for the headset. Steam and SteamVR must also be installed and running on a PC running Windows 10 or newer. Ideally, the PC should have at least 16GB of RAM and an Nvidia GPU (RTX2070 or better). Additionally, users need to install the Steam Link app on their Meta Quest device.
Steam's VR Fest and Game Discounts
The availability of Steam Link on Quest devices is great news for users who have VR games in their Steam library but also own a Quest headset. To further entice VR enthusiasts, Valve will be hosting a VR Fest on Steam from December 4th to December 11th, offering discounted prices on select VR games. Among the featured games in Valve's trailer for the event are Among Us VR, Gorilla Tag, and Tetris Effect: Connected.
This event provides an excellent opportunity for Quest users to expand their VR game collection and enjoy discounted prices on highly regarded titles. Whether users are looking for new games or want to try out popular VR experiences, the VR Fest on Steam offers plenty of options.
Conclusion
The introduction of Steam Link for Meta Quest headsets opens up new possibilities for VR gaming enthusiasts. By enabling wireless streaming of VR games from a user's Steam library, Valve eliminates the need for cumbersome wired connections and provides a more convenient and immersive gaming experience.
Furthermore, the upcoming VR Fest on Steam offers a chance to explore and purchase discounted VR games, allowing users to enhance their gaming library with exciting new titles. With the combination of Steam Link and the VR Fest, Meta Quest users can fully embrace the world of virtual reality gaming and make the most of their Quest headsets.
