Hello, I was wondering if anybody had any idea as to why when I plug in the quest 3 to my pc the games I’ve bought while it was just the headset are not available to play. I’ve bought a few games and would like to be able to play them but they don’t show up in the meta quest link library, but are available when unplugged. Thank you for any help in advance.
Because the games you buy inside the headset are Quest games and can only be played standalone, ie when not connected to a PC. If you could see your Quest games when in PCVR mode, but couldn't play them, you'd be concerned. Once you connect to a PC you can play only PCVR games so those are the only games that are visible to you.
In a nutshell, when you connect your Quest to your PC it ceases to be a Quest and becomes a Rift-S PCVR headset instead.
Thank you. Do you know if there’s any way to access those games while connected to the pc as I don’t have the ability to access the internet without the connection.

It's not possible, unfortunately. But why do you need a connection to your PC to access the internet? As far as I'm aware the headset will only access the internet via wifi and there should be no requirement to use Link or Airlink to establish a wifi connection, even if it's the PC providing the wifi hotspot.
It’s because I live on a college campus and the Wi-Fi won’t connect to my headset, so the only way I can access the greater net is via the physical cord.
