Get ready to stream some seriously great games on your Oculus Quest 2 with a new and free tool that can directly load the Steam VR platform onto the headset.

The Oculus Quest 2, which has been renamed the Meta Quest 2, has a strong selection of titles among the best Oculus Quest 2 games. But to explore new virtual worlds and to check out some of the best VR games for PC, users would usually have to connect to Steam VR in a slightly cumbersome manner. You would usually use AirLink or an Oculus link cable to connect to a powerful gaming laptop or a gaming PC and only then access Steam VR.

The OculusKiller is available to download on Github for free and it seems pretty simple to set up as well. There’s just one file to download and the setup is quick. What’s more, the app helps the performance of the headset by freeing up 200 MB of memory.

Though we have to note, there are some glitches as well. Since this is unofficial software, do expect bugs and ItsKaitlyn03 has advised users submit them where possible.  

OculusKiller is a great way to get a lot more out of your headset and hopefully it will be in better shape soon. But until then, you can also see our guide on how to connect your Oculus Quest 2 to a PC if you want to play it safe.
