However, it times up with a recent push over Oculus Link, letting users play PC VR games through the standalone unit. While both Quest headsets can be linked up to your PC through a USB-C cable, Facebook recently rolled out Oculus Air Link, allowing you to connect to your PC wirelessly.

Facebook has been gradually rolling out improvements for Quest as well. Alongside experimental 120 Hz support, their recent v30 firmware update added a new way to swap between party chat and app voice chat, alongside Air Link support for the original Quest headsets. While it's a shame to see the Rift S disappear, Oculus isn't going anywhere.
