How to Install APKs on Meta Quest After the Update | SideQuest Fix (December 21, 2025)
Meta recently broke the standard method for installing APKs on the Quest, including SideQuest. In this video, I walk you through a fully working method to install APKs using Mobile VR Station and a few extra steps. This method is confirmed working as of December 21, 2025.
What I cover in this video:
• Downloading and installing Mobile VR Station
• Switching Mobile VR Station to the old Oculus release channel
• Updating the app to enable APK installation
• Downloading the SideQuest APK directly from SideQuestVR.com
• Navigating Mobile VR Station’s file system to install the APK
• Accessing SideQuest through Unknown Sources
• Linking your headset using sdq.st/link
• Installing games like Attack on Quest, QuestCraft, and more
• Verifying that QuestCraft 6.0.0 installs and launches correctly
If you follow the steps in the video, you will be able to install SideQuest and other APKs directly on your headset without needing a PC.
