STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS

Consider storage space management when looking to purchase titles. You might find it a good idea to try all the free content, filling your memory with the free titles to find any that you really like and want to keep.

Then purchase those that you know or feel you want, deleting the free ones you aren’t worried about.

FREE TITLES WORTH A LOOK:

Free demos of some top titles are available and worth a look.

What NOT to expect to find, are some of the titles that you may have experienced in Centre VR. These are NOT available on a Quest 1 or 2, as a standalone headset:

Google Earth
The Blue
Dick Wilde 2
Half Life Alyx
Bookhaven
Raw Data
Budget Cuts (1 & 2)
and a lot of other titles.

YOU CAN PLAY THESE TITLES….BUT….

There is a way to play these titles (those that require more computer power than available in the Quest 1 or Quest 2) by connecting your Quest to a powerful, VR capable PC. These are quite costly, with the minimum specification being an i5 processor, plus a reasonably powerful graphics card, such as an NVidia GTX1070 or above. Most typical, non gaming laptops, and basic PC’s usually do not have powerful cards like these.

CONNECTING THE QUEST TO A PC

There are now 3 ways to connect a Quest headset to a PC.

  1. Link Cable
  2. Air Link
  3. Virtual Desktop (wirelessly)
