To download the Oculus app on PC, go to the official setup page at oculus.com/setup or meta.com/quest/setup. This installer is required to set up your Meta Quest or Rift headset for PC VR gaming over a wired or wireless connection.
Before you download the oculus app on PC: check requirements
Your PC must meet specific requirements to run the Oculus app and connect your headset. For Meta Quest Link on Windows 11, your PC must meet specific requirements: a Meta Quest 3 or Quest 3S headset, Windows 11 version 22H2 or newer, and Horizon OS v81 or newer on your headset. For the GPU, refer to the Mixed Reality Link system requirements for detailed GPU information. Both your PC and Quest headset must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network (5 GHz or 6 GHz, 802.11ac or higher). For a wired connection (Link), use a USB 3.0 cable or a USB-C 3.2 cable that supports a minimum of 5 GB/s. Once connected, you can also watch oculus quest 2 on TV to share your PC VR experience with others in the room, and you can download mods on oculus quest 2 to expand your favorite PC VR games with new content. For Mac and older Windows versions, the Meta Quest Virtual Display app is used for connection.
Download the oculus app installer
Navigate to the official setup page. For Oculus Rift S or Rift, click "Download Software" below the "Oculus Rift S or Rift" heading. For Quest headsets, the same page provides the correct installer. The downloaded file is typically named OculusSetup.exe.
Install the oculus app and set up your meta account
Open the downloaded file. Click "Install Now" or "Get started" to begin the installation. Follow the on-screen instructions to create or log in with your Meta account and set up your headset. The Oculus app typically installs on your C: drive by default.
Connect your headset and complete setup
After installation, launch the Oculus app. Connect your headset using a USB 3.0 cable for wired Link, or ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network for Air Link. The app will detect your headset and guide you through IPD adjustment and VR profile creation.
Start downloading VR games and apps
Once setup is complete, access the Meta Quest Store within the app to browse and download VR games and apps. For mods and specific game guides, refer to related resources.
