I have an oculus quest purchased over the summer.
I was able to sign up for oculus, not Facebook.
I got emails about a change in account stuff & I was able to keep my oculus account and not sign up for Facebook.
Can new customers only sign in through Facebook???? Seems like a very bad idea...
- mcv 6y agoYou probably have a Quest 1. The Quest 2 shipped in October, and apparently requires a Facebook account instead of an Oculus account. In the future, all remaining Oculus accounts will be forced to move to Facebook.
- MisterTea 6y agoThere was a small window where early Quest 2 purchases before October or whatever are able to keep their oculus accounts. My friend has one without needing a facebook.
- banana_giraffe 6y agoAs others mentioned, new customers now can only use Facebook. I'm in the same boat you are, but: > If you choose to continue using your Oculus account, you’ll be covered by our updated Oculus Terms of Service and Oculus Privacy Policy, which we previewed last month. After January 1, 2023, we will end support for Oculus accounts That boat will finally arrive at Facebook in two years. Two years is a long time for a bit of tech, but for me, the bigger deal is any money I've sunk into the Oculus ecosystem will go up in smoke then. That was the primary reason I started gaming mostly on Steam via Rift, and am looking to replace the headset completely now. (Helping this decision were things like downloading custom songs in Beat Saber is just easier on the desktop.)
