Unlike PCVR headset, the Quest is Android-based and runs on its own independent operating system. However, an update called the Oculus Link lets you play games on your PC and power them through your headset. Using Oculus Link (or Virtual Desktop ), you can play Roblox in VR mode on your Quest.
You can play Roblox on Oculus Quest and Quest 2, but only with a workaround. Roblox isn’t available for Quest or Quest 2, so you need to use the headset in Oculus Link Mode. In this case, you connect the Quest to a PC with a link cable, a special kind of high-quality USB-C cable. You can use the official Oculus Quest link cable or any compatible third-party cable.
At this time, Quest 2 doesn’t have Roblox on its list of in-house games, so you can’t enjoy your Roblox classics using the headset. To do so, you need a PC fast enough to support VR technology. The process involves connecting your PC to the Quest using a high-quality USB cable explicitly built for this purpose.
First, you need to download and install the Oculus app on your PC. The app is readily available on the official Oculus website. At the same time, turn on your Oculus headset.
One of the advantages of Oculus Quest 2 over other VR headsets on the market is that it offers a wireless experience. For this reason, some gamers consider running Roblox on Quest 2 using a link cable as an unnecessary hustle.
From the Oculus app, click Settings. Then select the General section and toggle on Unknown sources. Click Allow. Head back to roblox.com and select one of several VR-compatible games. Launch a game and put on your headset. Then you’ll be playing Roblox in VR.
Head to the Oculus Quest 2 setup page and click DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE. When the download is complete, follow the on-screen instructions to install it. Launch the app. Make sure you click Devices on the left pane. Click Add Headset. Select Quest 2, then click Continue.
Roblox isn’t available as an Oculus Quest 2 game, so you’ll first need a VR-ready PC. That means your PC needs to meet the minimum system requirements: CPU. Intel i5-4590 / AMD Ryzen 5 1500X or greater. RAM.
Roblox has VR support. The official website specifically lists the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. However, any device that can use SteamVR or the Oculus Store on PC is likely to be compatible.
Since the Oculus Quest 2 is a standalone device with access to the Oculus Store, it’s logical to believe that Roblox VR is available. However, the Roblox developers have not released a native app for Oculus Quest 2. That means the only way to play Roblox VR on the Quest 2 is to use it as a PC-connected headset.
