The popularity of Oculus Quest 2 has shot up in recent times since many have gifted it to others during the holiday season.
Now, another platform is getting super popular, and that’s Discord, which brings us to the question – how to Get Discord on Oculus Quest 2? Here’s everything you need to know.
How to get Discord on Oculus Quest 2
Is it possible to download Discord and install it as a standalone app on OculusQuest 2? No. There are two ways to access and run Discord on OculusQuest 2. These are:
- Discord via Virtual Desktop
- SideQuest: Discord with your friends
Although there is currently no official Discord app on Oculus Store, we can’t rule out the possibility that it will soon be available. Only if Discord Inc and Facebook Technologies decide to collaborate will users be able to access the app on Oculus Quest 2. It seems unlikely, considering that Facebook has almost all of the Discord features, and Discord would not be able to replace them.
