If you’ve followed these steps, you will be able to enjoy all your favorite PC games through your Quest. Traditional flat-screen games will be played on a giant virtual monitor within the Virtual Desktop space, while PC VR games (on SteamVR or Oculus) will work exactly as you would expect in VR. Since Virtual Desktop works off of your local wifi, there is little to no lag, making it perfect for gaming.
