You can enable it by launching the game with the <code>-vr<\/code> or <code>-oculus<\/code> command, or more easily via Content Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Assetto_Corsa_work_with_Quest_2_or_Quest_3\"><\/span><strong>Does Assetto Corsa work with Quest 2 or Quest 3?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absolutely. You can play Assetto Corsa on Quest 2 or Quest 3 using <strong>Oculus Link<\/strong>, <strong>Air Link<\/strong>, or <strong>Virtual Desktop<\/strong>. A capable gaming PC is required, as the game does not run natively on the headset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_launch_Assetto_Corsa_in_VR_using_Steam\"><\/span><strong>How do I launch Assetto Corsa in VR using Steam?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right-click the game in your Steam library, go to Properties \u2192 General \u2192 Launch Options, and enter <code>-vr<\/code> (for SteamVR) or <code>-oculus<\/code> (for Oculus runtime).
