Quest 2 Half Life Alyx!

It's quite laggy, but it does run! I was very surprised.

Playable? Uhm.. I don't think so. It does run better when you're not recording, but it's still a very big struggle for this headset, especially in some larger areas. The opening scene of the game is also a struggle, where something like what is shown here (except at the end part) is pretty light it looks like.

I'm running it on V83, so I don't know if it works better or worse on 2.7

Soooooo cool that it works! Thanks Qualyx devs!

Qualyx: A Half-Life: Alyx native port for Meta Quest 2 standalone

Out of all the 5 Meta Quest APK ports for Half-Life: Alyx, this experimental one on GitHub has Meta Quest 2 support with more optimized code.

Keep in mind Qualyx was primarily developed and tested on Meta Quest 3, so Meta Quest 2 support is less tested and uses reduced graphics settings.

As usual, it requires the game files, as you need to own a Steam copy of Half-Life: Alyx.

Half-Life: Alyx takes up 70GB so your Meta Quest 2 must have at least 90GB of available space.

To sideload the APK, you must have SideQuest installed onto your PC, have your Meta Quest 2 set to developer mode, and connect the headset to your PC to sideload the APK via SideQuest and to copy the game files from PC to Quest.

This standalone port is not affiliated with Meta or Valve in any way.
