Do you need a graphic/gaming laptop to run vorpx on stadia games using oculus 2?

Hello @Jae1982 

Just to be clear up front, I don't have any VR gear, so I can't test any of this myself. But, I did find this article that describes the steps needed to play Stadia games on an Oculus Quest or Quest 2: https://uploadvr.com/how-to-play-stadia-games-cyberpunk-2077-quest/ 

It looks like it uses an Android build of the Chromium browser side-loaded directly onto the Oculus Quest 2. Then, you play Stadia from inside that browser. Assuming all of this is correct, I believe the answer to your question about needing a laptop to play on the Quest is "no".

However, if it's a PC-attached system like the Rift, it's unclear – I can't find any information about that regarding Stadia. Since Rift requires a VR-capable PC in any case, it may not matter since you'd likely only buy a Rift if you already have a powerful PC to start with. In that case, playing Stadia on that would depend on being able to launch Chrome on that display.

I hope this helps. I also suggest doing more research on this before spending any money you can't get back if it turns out not to work as well as you hoped.

Hello @Jae1982 

Here's what I'm having trouble understanding: why do you think you need a laptop or computer for this at all? The article I looked at sure made it sound like you only need the browser side-loaded onto your Quest. Stadia only needs a browser, since the game is running on Google's machines in the cloud. Give it a try – maybe just launch something like Destiny 2, since it's free to play, just follow this link from Chrome: https://stadia.com/link/XZE7ZdXjsB3BqvHS9 . If that works, then you can either sign up for a one-month trial of Stadia Pro and get access to a bunch of other games to try, or just buy Cyberpunk and play it as much as you want without any subscription (at 1080p resolution).

Thanks! I have stadia working in my Quest via side load and side quest. Now the issue is do I need vorpx to fully immerse into Cyber Punk. Looking for the correct settings to do so if possible without virtual desktop which I can get/afford . What I can’t take the risk on is these high graphics cards that are impossible to get cause of bit mining .

Hello @Jae1982 

We're reaching the limits of my understanding here, but it sounds like you're hoping to get an immersive VR experience from Stadia games. That is not possible at this time.
