Oculus Quest headphones will soon support multiple users, Facebook announced. With the functionality, Quest owners can set up secondary accounts on their headers, enabling other people to log in and access content shared by the primary user while retaining separate retention data and achievements.
The primary account holder will be able to add three secondary accounts and share apps on a single device, though Facebook says you will be able to share purchases over three headlines later; the company can also adjust these parameters based on feedback. Apps are automatically logged in for sharing functionality, but developers can sign up before February 12th.
The Quest 2’s Facebook account requirement was controversial, and here’s nothing surprising – secondary account users will have to sign in with their own Facebook account. For households that already have multiple Quest users, the features should make life easier.
Facebook says that the functionality will come to the Quest 2 in experimental form next month, which means you can turn it on with the link in the settings menu before releasing it to all Quest headsets, including the original model.
