SideQuest ( BETA )

SideQuest ( BETA ) is for Meta Quest owners who want to look beyond the standard headset catalog for smaller projects and new releases. It provides a place to explore VR apps and games from independent creators, developers, and community projects. After the initial connection process, the app can send compatible content to a connected headset through WiFi. Users looking to download SideQuest ( BETA ) can use it for both discovering content and managing selected items already installed on their headset.

Browse VR content

Find projects outside the usual catalog

SideQuest ( BETA ) lists indie VR games, experimental apps, community projects, and early access builds for Meta Quest headsets. This can help you find titles that are still being tested or have not reached a wider audience. Some listings are made by smaller teams that use SideQuest to share their work with Quest players.

Browse App Lab listings

You can also use SideQuest ( BETA ) to look through App Lab titles alongside other VR releases. Categories and new release pages help narrow the list when you have a certain type of experience in mind. As a result, you can compare different VR apps and games without searching each project separately.

Check project details before installing

SideQuest ( BETA ) includes ratings and community notes for many listings. Staff picks and trending pages provide other ways to spot projects that are currently receiving attention. These details can be useful when a title is less familiar or still in an early stage of development.

Send installs through WiFi

After you complete the Wireless ADB connection setup, you can send compatible apps to your Meta Quest headset over WiFi. This means everyday installs do not require repeating the full connection process each time. However, the headset must be connected and available before SideQuest ( BETA ) can transfer an install.

Manage apps on the headset

You can view installed content and manage selected headset settings from the SideQuest VR app. If you no longer want an installed item, you can remove it through the management tools. SideQuest ( BETA ) uses an approved developer pathway and does not modify headset system files.

What to know before using SideQuest ( BETA )

SideQuest ( BETA ) is designed for Meta Quest standalone headsets and focuses on content that may not appear in the main Meta store. The first connection is different from normal browsing because Wireless ADB needs to be set up before wireless installs can work. A USB connection may be needed during this initial stage, while later transfers can be sent through WiFi.

Many projects in SideQuest are independent releases, test builds, or experimental apps. Their content, updates, and level of polish can vary between developers. Reading the listing description, ratings, and community notes before installing can help you decide whether a project suits what you want to use on your headset.

Using SideQuest ( BETA ) on Android

SideQuest ( BETA ) separates the initial headset connection from normal browsing and installation. Once Wireless ADB is ready, the app is mainly used to explore listings and send selected content over WiFi. Before installing the SideQuest ( BETA ) APK, make sure your Meta Quest headset can complete the required connection setup.

1. Open SideQuest ( BETA ) on your Android phone and sign in or continue through the available setup screens.

2. Connect your Meta Quest headset through the required Wireless ADB setup. If the app requests an initial USB connection, complete that step before trying wireless transfers.

3. When the headset is connected, browse categories, new releases, App Lab pages, staff picks, or trending projects.

4. Open a listing and review its description, ratings, and community notes before choosing an app or game.

5. Select the install option for a compatible listing, then keep the headset connected to WiFi while SideQuest ( BETA ) sends the install. You can later return to the management area to review or remove installed content.
