Is Minecraft on Oculus quest?

Answered by Robert Dupre

Unfortunately, Minecraft is not officially available for the Oculus Quest or Quest 2. However, there are still ways to play Minecraft on these devices if you have a VR-ready PC and a compatible link cable.

The Oculus Quest and Quest 2 are standalone VR headsets, meaning they are designed to be used without a PC. They have their own operating system and app store, which limits the available software and games to those specifically designed for the Quest platform. As of now, Minecraft is not included in the Oculus Quest store.

However, if you have a VR-ready PC, you can connect your Oculus Quest or Quest 2 to it using an Oculus Link cable. This allows you to access and play PC VR games on your headset, including Minecraft. To do this, you will need to install the Oculus PC app and the Minecraft Bedrock edition on your PC.

Once you have set up the Oculus Link connection and have Minecraft installed on your PC, you can launch the game through the Oculus PC app and play it in virtual reality on your Quest or Quest 2 headset. This provides an immersive and interactive Minecraft experience, allowing you to explore and build in a virtual world.

It’s worth noting that using Oculus Link to play Minecraft on the Quest or Quest 2 requires a powerful enough PC to handle the VR requirements. You may need a capable graphics card, sufficient RAM, and a fast processor to ensure smooth gameplay. Additionally, you will need a compatible USB cable to connect your headset to the PC.

While it may not be as convenient as having a native version of Minecraft for the Oculus Quest platform, using Oculus Link still allows you to experience Minecraft in VR on your Quest or Quest 2. It provides an alternative for those who want to enjoy the popular game in a more immersive way.

I hope this explanation helps clarify the options for playing Minecraft on the Oculus Quest or Quest 2.
