Oculus Quest2 to support "multi-account" and "app sharing"

On the 18th (US time), Facebook will test the two functions of "Multi-User accounts" and "App Sharing" on the Oculus blog for Oculus Quest 2 users. Announced that it has started.

Many players share VR headsets with family and friends, and users have requested the most for "multi-user accounts" and "app sharing."

These two features allow you to set up multiple accounts on a single headset, allowing apps purchased from the Oculus store to be shared between those accounts. The captured stages and points earned are saved for each account.

You can also manage and switch settings such as friend list, browsing history, and privacy for each account. It is also locked so that headset sharers cannot see or change their account information.

This time, as a function test, it is said that it will continue to improve while starting to provide "multi-user account" and "app sharing" for Quest 2 users. Eventually, it will be available to all Quest users.

App sharing will be automatically applied to all new apps released on the Oculus store after the 18th. Some existing apps cannot be used, but the company plans to support all existing apps in the future.

The details of the functions of "multi-user account" and "app sharing" at the moment are as follows.
