The popular sideloaded game launcher Oculus Quest, QuestZDoom has been updated to include Wolfenstein 3D, now playable in wireless standalone VR.
QuestZDoom launched in May last year, created for Oculus Quest by community modder Simon ‘DrBeef’ Brown and others. The app is a launcher that allows you to play free versions of DOOM and other iconic 90s games in VR, using an adapted engine that brings full-scale VR games to life. Users who legally own the original games can also transfer their original WAD files to QuestZDoom, to use the original assets and obtain the proper sense of authenticity.
At launch, QuestZDoom included the original 1993 DOOM, as well as DOOM II, Heretic and Hexen. Various game mods are also supported, such as Brutal Doom and more.
This week, QuestZDoom was updated to include support for Wolfenstein 3D, a first-person shooter originally released by id software in 1992 for DOS. Much like the other games included, this version of Wolfenstein 3D is a “careful recreation / mod for fans”. It will be included with the latest version of the QuestZDoom launcher and engine, so all you need to do is update via SideQuest if you already have QuestZDoom installed.

QuestZDoom is just one of the many ports of DrBeef and other community modders that bring classic game titles to wireless VR in Oculus Quest. Some of the other ports include Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Doom 3 and the original Half-Life, all available for sideloading via SideQuest.
