Soon, Oculus Quest headsets will support multiple users, Facebook announced. The functionality will allow Quest owners to set up secondary accounts on their headsets, which will allow others to log in and access content shared by the primary user, while keeping saved data and achievements separate.
The primary account holder will be able to add three secondary accounts and share applications on a single device, although Facebook says that later you can share purchases on three headsets; the company can also adjust these parameters based on feedback. Applications will be automatically included in the sharing functionality, but developers can cancel before February 12th.
Quest 2’s Facebook account requirement has been controversial and, unsurprisingly, nothing changes here – secondary account users will have to log in with their own Facebook account. For families that already have multiple Quest users, however, resources should make life easier.
Facebook says the feature will be coming to Quest 2 next month in experimental form, meaning that you can activate it with a button in the settings menu before it is released for all Quest headsets, including the original model.
