Which is better for VR games?

The Quest 3. It has inside-out tracking, motion controllers and a 120Hz display. The G3X has no tracking and is meant for watching content.

Which is better for movies?

The G3X gives OLED blacks and a light 190g fit, and its diopter adjustment suits glasses wearers. The Quest 3 is more versatile but uses LCD panels and is heavier.

Can the G3X play Steam VR games?

Not as a tracked headset. It works as a display for a PC, Steam Deck, PS5 or ROG Ally over USB-C or HDMI, showing flat games on a virtual screen.

Do I need a PC for the Quest 3?

No. It runs standalone. A PC is only needed for PC VR through Quest Link or Steam Link.

Only if you want a light OLED viewer with diopter correction for 2D content. For games and mixed reality, the Quest 3 covers far more at a much lower lowest daily price.

Which is easier on glasses wearers?

The G3X, with built-in diopter adjustment from +3.0D to -8.0D. The Quest 3 needs a glasses spacer and works best with prescription lens inserts.
