How to play Half-Life: Alyx on the Oculus Quest

Whether you want to play it with Oculus Link or wirelessly, we've got you covered.



Half-Life: Alyx is Valve's first flagship VR title, and it's the first new Half-Life game in well over a decade. Valve has, once again, lived up to its pedigree as one of the world's foremost video game developers and created a must-have title but, as of this moment, it's only available on a PC running Steam. But Oculus Quest owners can rest assured knowing that they don't need to purchase another VR headset just to play; all you need is a decent gaming PC and an Oculus Quest to get playing!
