Play Paper Beast on Oculus Quest via Air Link
A journey to the new Oculus Quest 2
Available on Steam and the Oculus Rift store, Paper Beast is now fully playable on the Oculus Quest wireless headset via the AirLink option, accessible for free on the headset’s interface. This option allows live streaming of the game from a PC to the Oculus Quest screen, without any additional cost to anyone who already purchased the game on Steam or the Rift Store.
With a refresh rate of up to 120HZ, the Oculus Quest 2 makes the most of its 5/6 WiFi compatibility, to broadcast the screen with perfect fluidity while keeping the freedom of an autonomous and wireless headset.

“Paper Beast is a very immersive adventure game that has been designed for VR. You explore a believable and surrealistic natural world. You will be like in an awakened dream. Imagine a cocktail, with a bit of Dali, Lynch, and BBC Planet Earth. Shake it! You got a kind of crazy universe to explore!”, says Eric Chahi, founder of Pixel Reef. “In VR you can feel it, for me it is really what VR can bring to players. The craziness of this adventure is more than a journey, more than a game, it becomes a piece of life, full of meaning”.
The PC version of the game will see a host of new features including continuous move support, upgraded visuals, gameplay tweaks, and an expanded sandbox mode.

The PC version of the game will see a host of new features including:
- Continuous move support
- Upgraded visuals: (more precise textures and shadows, improved water and sand rendering, full support of latest gen VR headsets’ resolution)
In sandbox mode:
- Bigger sandbox area
- Expanded ecosystem, enriched by an evolution of the vegetation
- A greater number of entities in the field allowing more combinations
- A new species
- Smoother gameplay
Eric Chahi says that “The PC version represents a more polished version of the game in almost all aspects but also offers continuous move support, which we are very proud of because we handled it without compromise. Special care was also given to the rendering of water and sand. You will be able to see the turmoil at the surface of the water, and the delicate flow of the sand. You’ll be able to dive even deeper into the fantastic world of Paper Beast”.
We hope you are as excited as we are!
All the best,
Pixel Reef team.
