so ive just purchased the quest 2 and was looking for help ive had the rift for about a year and have got a few games like beat saber so my question is will i need to rebuy those games when i get the quest 2 or can i play them straight out the box?

also if i can play them how do i go about downloading them?

  • If you have the link cable, you play it like with your rift. Cant say much about it I dont have the cable.
  • Otherwise, if you have good wifi, you can try Airlink. You can enable it in the Quest2's configuration experimental menu. Then you activate it and access the Airlink app. Your Rift games will be availlable there.
  • Personally, my favourite option is Virtual Desktop and it's also wifi. You can buy and download the app from the Quest2's store. You then install the Virtual Desktop Streamer app on your pc and it works great both with Rift and SteamVR games.

but that doesn't answer what i asked if i have a game already purchased on oculus that i play with my oculus rift cv1 am i able to play it with the quest 2 or do i have to purchase it again?

You will not have to buy them again if you want to play them using you PC (just like with your Rift). However, if you want to install them on the Oculus Quest2 and play without PC (standalone), then in most case you will have to buy them again.

 

There are some Cross-buy titles availlable, but Beat Saber is not. That means you can play your Beat Saber on the Quest2 using Link Cable, Airlink or Virtual Desktop. But if you want to play Beat Saber from the Quest2 standalone, you will have to buy it again from the Quest store.

 

So yes, you will be able to play all the games you purchased. But some will require your PC while other will be availlable standalone on your Quest2.

 

Here's some info about Cross-Buy:

thank you

If you want to play all your Rift collection from your PC wirelessly. While Airlink is enought, I recommend Virtual Desktop. It's really great!
