Definitely one of my favorite VR games. I play it wirelessly using my Quest 2 with Virtual Desktop and VD Streamer. There are also lots of great free mods people have made to continue the enjoyment after you've beaten the main game.
do you buy the steam or oculus version of virtual desktop? Or does it not matter?

You need the oculus version. That is how you wirelessly connect to your computer and start Steam gams.

Do you think there will be a better deal than this this weekend?
Every single thing on sale this weekend will be cheaper later. This BF just hasn't been that good.

I just got a quest 2. Waiting on my link cable. Can not wait to try this game.
Cables are terrible for anything that's not a driving or flying sim. If you have a WiFi 6 router, get virtual desktop. Enable its lag feature and it will feel like playing on wired, but wireless. It is really amazing.

If you played wired on the other hand you will constantly be trying to untangle yourself which is really annoying

Yes. Worse case, get a refund if you play under 2hours within 2 weeks

Do you know if that Tmobile router is good?
Ideally, you want a router that supports wifi 6. Also you're going to have to hook your PC to it via Ethernet (wired).

how do u get it to work on oculus quest 2? I tried looking for the game on the store, but its not there
It's on Steam, and if you want the best performance you need to buy and use Virtual Desktop from the Oculus store. That's the best way to use Oculus with Steam.

I did not realize I could play wireless at the time. Just got my oculus a week ago. I have been playing it wireless.

Kids are getting a Quest 2 for Christmas. My boy has been watching videos of this game. Perfect timing.

Thanks OP
He will not be disappointed, and he'll be very happy you got it for him! This is VR as it should be.

Needs some connecting cables and a relatively beefy graphics card, no? I was literally just watching some reviews of this game - or rather, reviews of varying levels of VR setups with the game, and the O2 was the "lowest" but still playable, but it's not your typical O2 game
