Half-Life: Alyx Locomotion Videos [Mar 02, 2020, 8:21 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Valve offers
three new videos from Half-Life: Alyx showing off gameplay from the
upcoming VR installment in the Half-Life series. The focus is to show the
different ways Alyx will navigate in the game:
The first demonstrates
the game's teleportation locomotion method,
the second shows a
continuous locomotion style, and
the third is what they
call the shift locomotion style. Additionally,
IGN has a new video of their own showing the different locomotion methods
with nine minutes of direct-feed gameplay. Word is: "See how Half-Life looks and
feels in VR, and note that we intentionally switch from Blink movement mode to
Continuous at the 6:06 mark so you can see the different locomotion settings in
action."

Fortunately, you can play it with other VR systems... like the Quest that's only $400. Valve isn't keeping it exclusive to their own, because they want the VR market as a whole to grow.
I think you'll only be able to play this with the Quest via a streaming mode, of which there are two different varieties, but neither are an experience you'd want... especially for a FPS or any fast paced game. It's got a lot of display and input lag in those modes.
Especially since valve themselves officially call it out as supported for Alyx:

I've not had any latency problems with the games I've tried in the PC link version on steam
Prior to that I did the desktop sideload streamer thingy, and I did have issues with that.
If you want a technical deep dive into the Oculus link system:
