Valve Keeps Making Quest a Better PC VR Headset with Continued Improvements to Steam Link
Summary:
The Quest VR headset has grown in popularity since its 2019 debut, now representing over half of connected VR headsets on Steam. Valve's latest SteamVR update (2.8.3) boosts Quest's capabilities as a PC VR headset. Released in late 2023, the new Steam Link update (Beta 2.0.11.1197) enables easy wireless connection to SteamVR, bypassing Meta's Air Link, and introduces features like hand-tracking passthrough and custom input bindings. Additionally, 2D streaming has been re-enabled in the Steam Link app for Quest. Users must opt-in to the SteamVR Beta to access these features. Despite these improvements benefiting Quest users, Valve is also rumored to be developing its own standalone headset, codenamed 'Deckard'. For the full story, visit Road to VR.
