Can you play Alyx? The half life game on it.
Yes. Any game playable on SteamVR can be played on the Meta Quest headsets. It's more a question of how good your PC is, because PCVR games ask more of your CPU and GPU than flat screen games.
The Quest 2 is in several aspects technically inferior to the Valve Index that HL:A was designed to show off, but it has a higher resolution (which puts more demands on your PC) and it also has a large library of games available that don't need a PC. Those games don't have the same scale and rich graphics of AAA PCVR games - the built-in computer in the Q2 headset is on a par with a good Android tablet - but gameplay often trumps graphics and there are just more of them. Also, the standalone games don't need a cable tethering you to a PC.
To play HL:A or other PCVR games on the Quest 2, you either need a good quality USB C cable or a solid home wifi network (Wifi 5 tolerable, 6e preferable).
Not a Meta Quest fanboy, by the way - PCVR nerd. But I've used Quest gear and it does the job.

I experienced this last weekend. Was gobsmacked. Did a short star wars thing.
Thought I'd like one.
