Not Possible on Official Grounds

If you want to know if you can directly link Oculus 2 with your PS4 and immediately start playing, the answer is a sad no. Officially, both devices are not made to be compatible with each other, especially as PlayStation has its own virtual reality product in the form of PSVR. However, this doesn’t prevent us from trying alternative methods.

Method 1: Connect Oculus Quest 2 to pS4 Using Sidequest.

One way to connect the Oculus Quest 2 to a PS4 is to use a program called Sidequest on your PC. Sidequest allows you to use your computer as a medium to enjoy PS4 games on your Oculus Quest 2. Here are the steps to use Sidequest:

1. Install Sidequest on your PC.

2. Turn on your PS4 and go to Settings.
3. Go to Remote Play Connection Settings.
4. Choose Add Device.
5. Note down the displayed code.
6. On your PC, connect the Oculus Quest 2 headset.
7. Select the TV icon and input the code you noted earlier from your PS4.
8. On the Sidequest program, select your Play station.
9. Click Connect.

Method 2: Use Virtual Desktop to Connect Oculus Quest 2 to pS4.

Another method you can use is the Virtual Desktop app. With Virtual Desktop, you can use PS Remote Play on your computer and then mirror the PC screen to your Oculus Quest 2. You can find the app on the Oculus platform. Note, however, that this is a paid app. Here are the steps to use Virtual Desktop:

1. Download and install Virtual Desktop for your Oculus device.

2. Download and install Virtual Desktop’s Streamer app on your computer.
3. Run the program/app.
4. Log in to the app using your Oculus information.
5. Download and install PS Remote Play on your computer.

6. On your PS4, make sure that Remote Play is enabled. You can find this under Settings:

1. Go to Settings on the PS4 home screen.
2. Select System.
3. Select Remote Play.
4. Toggle the switch on. 
5. The next part ensures that Remote Play will continue to work in rest mode. 

• Under Settings on your PS4, click System.
• Select Power Saving.
• Select Features Available in Rest Mode.
• Turn on the option Stay Connected to the Internet.
• Select Enable Turning On PS4 from Network.

8. Create a second PlayStation account in order to add a DualShock game controller.
9. Connect your Oculus to your PC and load the Virtual Desktop App on your Oculus Quest 2.
10. Select your computer.
11. Load PS Remote Play on your desktop.
12. Choose your PS4 from the selection window.
13. Wait for the PlayStation screen to come up. 
14. Select the PlayStation button using your game controller. 
15. Log into your PlayStation account that is not connected to Remote Play.
16. Use that account to activate your primary account used for Remote Play.
17. Click the PlayStation button.
18. Go to the Home tab and load the PlayStation home screen.

With these steps, you can now connect and play your Oculus Quest 2 with your PS4. You can also use the same steps for your PS5.
