Skyrim, despite being more than a decade old, remains one of the best-selling video games. That’s why there’s been so much interest in action role-playing.

Mods have been developed for the game over the years, and even the graphics have been enhanced in some cases. With the Oculus Quest, players can now enjoy this well-known game in virtual reality.

Skyrim on Oculus Quest is a relatively simple process. Connect your Oculus Quest to your PC using the USB-C cable if you have a VR copy of this game (Oculus Link).

With a 5Ghz WiFi connection and stable internet, you can also connect your Oculus Quest wirelessly to your PC. Even if you have the Oculus Quest, don’t expect it to run on older PCs, even if you have the latest version of the Oculus Rift.

You can also stream the game from your PC to your Oculus Quest using the Virtual Desktop feature. Unfortunately, you’ll need to purchase the Oculus Quest’s Virtual Desktop in order to use this feature.

You’ll also need to use SideQuest to sideload a patched version of the Virtual Desktop in order to play the game wirelessly on the Oculus Quest. Make sure to install the Virtual Desktop app on the PC that you intend to use for streaming.

On the Oculus Quest, you can run Skyrim wirelessly. However, if you have a weak or unstable internet connection, it is better to use the wired method to play the game.
