Computer and network requirements
Official minimum: computer with Steam and SteamVR, Windows 10+, GTX 970+ or RX 570+; RX 6400 and RX 6500 XT excluded. Requires a 5GHz Wi-Fi channel and at least Wi-Fi 5. Recommendations include the equivalent of a Core i5-4590/FX 8350+, 16GB RAM, RTX 2070+, and Wi-Fi 6/6E. These requirements apply to Steam Link transfers; The selected game has its own requirements. Write down both lists separately so that a successful connection is not considered proof of sufficient power for any game.
Check the headset and its system
The help lists Quest 2/3/Pro, PICO 4 Ultra/4/Neo 3, HTC Vive Focus Vision and VIVE XR Elite. For Quest you need OS v74, for PICO v5.13, for HTC v7.0.999.344. Check the exact name and number of the system in the headset settings. If a model is not named on this list, such verification does not confirm its official support; This is also not our hardware incompatibility test. The list of devices may be updated, so if there is a discrepancy, open the latest Valve Help.
Connection and first check
Launch Steam on your PC and sign in. Connect your PC and headset to the same network, install Steam Link from the headset store and follow the pairing instructions on the screen. This is PC streaming; Do not consider it a separate stand-alone installation of the same game on your headset. To check, select one game and one scene, leave the original parameters and write down the result. If there is a connection, but the image is unstable, compare the same scene after one change. Do not change the network, resolution and game at the same time: otherwise it will be difficult to understand what condition influenced the result.
