You can easily share games between two Oculus Quests headsets.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oculus_App_Sharing_Makes_it_Possible\"><\/span>Oculus App Sharing Makes it Possible<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Thanks to a feature introduced to the Quest via an update, you can now have multiple accounts on a Quest and share games bought by one user with another. However, there are some limitations to this to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, only the primary account on a given Oculus Quest headset can share games. Each sub-account still has its own online account and they can all buy their own games. They just can\u2019t share them with anyone else on that headset.<\/p>\n<p>So the main account and sub-accounts can play games that the main account owns, but each sub-account will have its own save games and progression. Assuming a game supports cloud sync, if a sub-account owner gets their own headset, their progress will be waiting for them. But of course, they\u2019ll have to buy their own copy of a given game.<\/p>\n<p>The last limitation is that game developers must opt-in to allow sharing across accounts. In practice, most Quest games support family sharing, but some notable titles (such as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/106558\/the-best-oculus-quest-games-you-can-play-with-a-friend-or-a-stranger\/\">Beat Saber<\/a>) do not. You can check whether a game supports family sharing on its <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oculus.com\/experiences\/quest\/\">store page<\/a>. Some DLC may also not work with family sharing, but this differs on an <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>-by-app basis.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Set_Up_Family_Sharing\"><\/span>How to Set Up Family Sharing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Setting up family sharing on a headset is simple, as long as you do things in the right order. Remember that both headsets need the same primary account. If you\u2019ve set up your new headset with your primary account, you don\u2019t need to change anything there, but if you\u2019ve set up the secondary headset where you want to share games with someone else\u2019s account first, you\u2019ll have to perform a factory reset. Once the factory reset is complete, simply set up that Quest as if it were new and use the primary account whose games you want to share.<\/p>\n<p>If the second Quest already has the correct account as primary, you don\u2019t need to do anything special, we\u2019re simply going to add the sub-accounts to the existing headset.<\/p>\n<p>Since you can\u2019t take system screenshots directly with the Quest, the images below were captured using the Quest\u2019s casting function. However, the quality of the stream isn\u2019t really legible, so these images are just for reference.<\/p>\n<p>Open \u201cSettings\u201d from the Quick Menu then select \u201cAccounts\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Toggle \u201cApp Sharing\u201d on then select \u201cAdd Account\u201d. You can always toggle App Sharing on later if you forget or don\u2019t want to do it now. If you don\u2019t have a passcode or security pattern, you\u2019ll be asked for one to protect the main account from sub-account holders.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-783083 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_0200-e1643647375667.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Quest Add Account\" width=\"650\" height=\"300\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can now set up the new sub-account or hand over the headset to that account holder if you wish.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-783085 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_0201-e1643647563169.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Quest Add Account\" width=\"650\" height=\"578\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The new user must now log in to their <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> account and their Oculus account (if any).
