Kinetic Games struck gold with Phasmophobia. It’s such an intuitive experience that somehow retains its horrific nature despite being a co-op VR game. Unfortunately, it isn’t available on the Oculus Quest Store, but that doesn’t mean you’ll miss out on the fun. Push back your hopelessness and read this guide on how to play Phasmophobia on Oculus Quest 2.
How to Play Phasmophobia on Oculus Quest 2
Although Phasmophobia is technically not available on the Oculus Quest 2, there is a clever workaround. Since the Oculus Quest 2 can stream or be used as a wired device, you can play Phasmophobia through Steam. However, you will need:
- A USB (if you wish to play wired)
- A decent wireless internet connection (if you wish to play wireless)
- A GPU that Oculus Link supports
- And the Oculus app

Playing Phasmophobia With a Wired Connection
Out of the two methods, using the Oculus app to play Phasmophobia on the Oculus Quest 2 is arguably the easiest. All you need is a USB-C cable and your headset. However, bear in mind that means you’ll also be tethered to your PC.
- Download and launch the Oculus app for PC.
- Power on the Oculus Quest 2.
- Connect the Oculus Quest 2 to your PC with a USB-C and put on the headset.
- When prompted, choose ‘Allow access to data,’ then ‘Allow.’
- Enable Oculus Link (Beta).
- Launch Phasmophobia in Steam and you’re good to go.
Playing Phasmophobia Wirelessly
If you have a good wireless internet connection, you can also stream Phasmophobia using Air Link. Of course, you’ll still need to own Phasmophobia on Steam. Here’s what you do:
- Download and launch the Oculus app for PC.
- Enable ‘Air Link’ in the Oculus app settings.
Air Link is located within the Beta tab.
- Enable ‘Air Link’ in the headset’s settings.
Air Link is located within the Experimental Features tab.
- Open Steam and launch Phasmophobia using the Oculus Quest 2.
