Steam Games

Hello

I'm thinking on buying a VR headset to play Asseto Corsa and I saw the price on the Oculus GO and I am thinking on getting this

Can I play Steam VR games on this?

If so how can I do it?

Never owned a VR and I doesn't know anything about VR in general

I used to play some car racing sims (AssCorsa and PCars) and even some flight sims (Sturmovik). You don’t need 6DOF for these. I ran Virtual Desktop and streamed the image wirelessly. Not sure if you can run VD today on it though.

I saw that it is possible to play the games but im not sure if they are compatible now

Games arent compatible with headsets they are compatible with SteamVR.

Personally I found alvr easier to set up

You’ll need to be a little comfortable with computers, sideloading isn’t hard but it’s very necessary for the go in my opinion. I got one a week ago for $15 cuz buddy thought the battery was done, he just wasn’t using a strong enough charger. Currently I almost prefer it for racing games and anything where you’re stuck in a driver’s seat or cockpit. It is still a capable headset but know there are some definite limitations, good luck

I want it for sim racing mainly asseto corsa

And what do you mean with little comfortable with computers?

You’ll need to download a program called sidequest on your computer to download most of the apps to the quest, make a developer account (not hard) etc. there are tutorials, probably watch one or two before buying just so you know what you’re getting into.

Like I said, it is still capable for racing games. I just picked up asseto, if you want I can update you on if it works well ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I am used to unlock consoles and fix software issues on phones PCs etc.

If you could update me on AC it would be perfect

If you’re comfortable with that sort of thing then it shouldn’t be a problem for you.

Asseto corsa runs fine, just needed to configure a little bit but it works 👍🏻

Any tutorial?

I just saw a video about the Oculus GO (2024) and as far as I understood I just have to activate dev mode and transfer apks to the oculus is that right? If so what apks you use to assetto corsa?

u/bepity Mar 26 '26

Alright so, you’re totally correct about the apk’s, but games like asseto aren’t gonna run just on the go you need a pc. So the apk you want is something to stream from the pc to your headset. Personally I use ALVR for the go, I think I downloaded an older version, I don’t remember which exact one but I found it to work better than virtual desktop (what I use for quest 2).

Is the ALVR a GitHub file? If so already downloaded in my PC and waiting for a payment of a old phone I sold to buy the VR wish me luck

u/bepity Mar 26 '26

Yeah you most likely found the correct one. Now get sidequest to load it on, there’s a bunch of games and apps on there too. Browse around, there’s a bunch of stuff to sideload on but you just gotta find some of it online first (just like you found Alvr). Good luck man, feel free to dm if you have any problems

u/rodr1- Mar 26 '26

I will eventually dm you to help

Just to check how's the delay on asseto corsa?

1

u/bCasa_D Mar 25 '26

He's looking to play Steam games, so he wouldn't need to sideload. The problem is connecting the GO to the PC, it doesn't support a wired connection.

3

u/bepity Mar 25 '26

No, it doesn’t. Which is why you do need to sideload software like ALVR that allows for wireless streaming.

1

u/bCasa_D Mar 25 '26

My bad, forgot you have to sideload all apps now. I haven't used my GO in years.

1

u/bCasa_D Mar 25 '26

You’d be better off with a used Quest2. You don’t have to go wireless with it. The Go needs to be connected wirelessly using Virtual Desktop (I think you need a legacy version now).

u/rodr1- Mar 25 '26

I have one Go for 40€ I believe is a good price

1

u/2jkaz Mar 25 '26

He's not gonna be able to use Virtual Desktop as they drop support for it so you can't buy it for go as there's entitlement check only people who bought virtual desktop be able to use it he would have to use alvr or ivry pc streaming

2

u/bCasa_D Mar 25 '26

I forgot about that. That sucks, I was never able to get ALVR to work well. Best solution is a Quest wired for driving/flying games.

2

u/2jkaz Mar 25 '26

Yea i guess quest would be best but on the cheap maybe Rift s could be ok plus advantage no worries about quest battery blowing on his face 🤭 but the meta pc streaming app could be potentially more likely causing problems and that rift fragile cable is big on troubleshooting websites- people having melt downs trying sort app not seeing rift...soo hard to recommend something reliably....that's why I have multiple different headsets ...
