What if You Can’t Play Roblox in VR Mode?

If you have successfully linked your Quest or Quest 2 to your PC, and you’re playing Roblox in a virtual desktop mode on the headset, but you don’t see an option to enable VR, there are a handful of potential issues.

Click Add Headset.

Select Quest or Quest 2, and click Continue.

Connect your Quest or Quest 2 to your computer with a link cable, and click Continue.

Click Continue.

Click Close.

On your headset, look for a data access prompt and either allow or deny the request.

You can safely deny, as it won’t affect this process at all.

On the headset, select Enable.

In the Meta Quest app, click Settings.

Click General.

  • The world doesn’t support VR: Not all Roblox games support VR, and the ones that do might not support Quest headsets. If you don’t see the VR option in the in-game settings menu, try a different Roblox world.
  • You have an old or beta version of Roblox: Try uninstalling Roblox and downloading it again directly from the Roblox site. It may also help to install the app as an administrator if you have that ability.
  • You may need Steam VR: Try using your Quest with Steam VR. Link your Quest or Quest to your PC using the instructions provided above, but launch SteamVR before you perform step 15. Once Steam VR is running, you can launch the Roblox game of your choice, and it will automatically open on your Quest in VR mode.

Can You Play Roblox on Meta (Oculus) Quest?

You can play Roblox on Quest and Quest 2, but only with this workaround. Roblox isn’t automatically available in VR, so you need to use the headset in Oculus Link Mode. In this case, you connect the Quest to a PC with a link cable, a special kind of high-quality USB-C cable. You can use the official Quest link cable or any compatible third-party cord. Roblox runs on your PC, and the PC sends data to the Quest through the link cable, which allows you to play Roblox in virtual reality.
