That means the apps run on the Quest itself, and not through a PC.\u00a0 You do need one-time access to a Windows PC to install the games on your Quest.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Jedi Knight Outcast and Jedi Academy are now playable in VR on Meta Quest, standalone (no PC needed to run it) &#8212; with full motion controls (you can swing your light saber and use force powers).\u00a0 This VR port was made possible by Team Beef.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"JK-XR: Outcast - Jedi Knight II VR - Release Trailer\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ToM-wz3v-NU\"

these two games to VR.\u00a0 They feel almost like native VR games except during cut scenes where the cuts are a little too fast for VR, and some camera angles are too high or too low.\u00a0 Remarkably, it has 6DOF motion controls with Quest Touch controller: you can swing or throw your lightsaber, aim your blaster, and use Force Push or Force Pull with your Quest Touch.<\/p>\n<p>You can look around in any direction with your Quest.\u00a0 To move around, you use the Quest&#8217;s thumbstick (there&#8217;s no teleporting).\u00a0 It&#8217;s a bit less comfortable than teleporting but on the plus side, this is a game that you can play in a stationary position.<\/p>\n<h3>What you need:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Meta Quest, <a href=\"https:\/\/360rumors.com\/oculus-quest-2-vs-rift-s-oculus-link-wireless-pc-vr-tutorial\/\" data-lasso-id=\"20727\">Meta Quest 2<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/360rumors.com\/quest-3-best-feature\/\" data-lasso-id=\"20728\">Meta Quest 3<\/a><\/li>\n<li>SideQuest (free)<\/li>\n<li>Jedi Outcast and\/or Jedi Academy for PC ($9.99 each or currently on sale for $3.49 each until January 4)<\/li>\n<li>JK XR app for SideQuest (free).\u00a0 Although it&#8217;s free, you can support <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/teambeef\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" id=\"20729\" class=\"broken_link\">Team Beef on Patreon<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to install Jedi Knight on Quest<\/h3>\n<p>Step 1: Install SideQuest Advanced Installer.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/sidequestvr.com\/setup-howto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"20730\">Instructions here<\/a>.\u00a0 Sidequest is a utility for finding and installing apps on the Quest that are on App Labs or are otherwise not on the Quest app store.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Register for a <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.oculus.com\/manage\/\" data-lasso-id=\"20731\">Meta developer account here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Enable Developer mode on the Quest mobile app.\n<ul>\n<li>tap on Menu on bottom right.<\/li>\n<li>tap on Devices.<\/li>\n<li>tap on your headset.<\/li>\n<li>tap on Headset Settings.\u00a0 (If it is grayed out, wear your headset to take it out of standby mode.)<\/li>\n<li>tap on Developer Mode and then toggle Debug mode.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Install <a href=\"https:\/\/sidequestvr.com\/setup-howto\" data-lasso-id=\"20732\">Sidequest Advanced Installer<\/a> on your PC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Step 2: Install JK XR app.\u00a0 JK XR app is not Jedi Knight itself.\u00a0 It&#8217;s an app that converts Jedi Knight to VR.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Run Sidequest and connect your Quest to your PC via USB.\u00a0 Sidequest should show a green circle that shows your Quest is connected.\u00a0 Alternatively, if you have Sidequest VR, you can use that instead.<\/li>\n<li>Look for <a href=\"https:\/\/sidequestvr.com\/app\/15472\/jk-xr-jedi-knight-in-vr-meta\" data-lasso-id=\"20733\">JK XR app<\/a> on Sidequest and click on the Sideload button.\u00a0 This will install the JK XR app on your Quest.<\/li>\n<li>Disconnect your Quest.<\/li>\n<li>On your Quest, go to the Apps tab, click on the drop down box (default says &#8220;All&#8221;) and show Unknown Sources.\u00a0 You&#8217;ll see sideloaded apps including the JK XR app.\u00a0 Run the JK XR app.\u00a0 This will create a JKXR folder on your Quest, including the files it needs.\u00a0 After a few seconds, the app will close automatically.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Step 3: Install Jedi Knight.\u00a0 To play Jedi Knight on Quest, you&#8217;ll need the original Jedi Knight Outcast and\/or Jedi Knight Academy.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Download and install <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/6030\/?snr=1_5_9__205\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"20734\">Jedi Knight Outcast<\/a> and\/or <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/6020\/?snr=1_5_9__205\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"20735\">Jedi Knight Academy<\/a> on your PC.<\/li>\n<li>Copy some of the files from Jedi Knight Outcast and\/or Academy on your PC to your Quest:\n<ul>\n<li>Connect your Quest to your PC via USB.\u00a0 On your Quest, click on notifications, and click the USB notification.\u00a0 Your Quest should now appear on your Windows File Explorer.<\/li>\n<li>Go to the drive where you installed Jedi Knight and copy files to your Quest.\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Outcast<\/span>: Go to the folder \\SteamLibrary\\steamapps\\common\\Jedi Outcast\\Gamedata\\base and copy <strong>all the files ending in .pk3<\/strong> and paste into the Quest directory called JKXR\\<strong>JK2<\/strong>\\base<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Academy<\/span>: Go to the folder \\SteamLibrary\\steamapps\\common\\Jedi Academy\\Gamedata\\base and copy <strong>all the files ending in .pk3<\/strong> and paste into the Quest directory called JKXR\\<strong>JK3<\/strong>\\base<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Disconnect your Quest from your PC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to launch Jedi Knight Outcast or Academy<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>On your Quest, go to the apps tab and click on the drop down box to show Unknown Sources.\u00a0 If you want to play Outcast, just click on JK XR.\u00a0 If\u00a0 you want to play Academy, click on the JK XR Companion App, wait for the menu and select Jedi Knight Academy, then click the Launch button.<\/li>\n<li>The title scenes are in 2D, but the game itself is in VR.<\/li>\n<li>To learn the controls, go to Controls and click on JKXR Help then Show Control Defaults.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How do I find more games like this?<\/h2>\n<p>There are other non-VR games that are being converted into VR.\u00a0 These are called &#8220;flat2VR&#8221; games and the mods for converting non-VR games into VR games are called &#8220;VR mods.&#8221; In fact, Jedi Fallen Order is another Star Wars flat2vr game that will be coming soon thanks to a VR mod called UEVR by Praydog.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/360rumors.com\/praydog-uevr\/\" data-lasso-id=\"20736\">Find out more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe
