FEATURES:
  • Oculus Library:
    • You can now see detailed release notes for recent app updates, including the Oculus system software, from the Updates screen in Library.

It typically rolls out gradually over a couple days. You might be able to get it immediately by opting in to the beta stream, which should still be the same version as the new release. Other than that, there's no way to force the update.


Thank you very much 🙂

Just launch them once. But for SteamVR games you need to launch them directly from the Steam app on your monitor, you can't launch them from within SteamVR.

It's best just to wait. Sometimes you'll get it first, other times you wait for two weeks. It depends. It's not important to get it right away, just enjoy when it arrives.

Did it today and ported games over from steam VR to oculus. Yep sign in to the Beta under settings and allow 3rd party content. Then load up Steam VR game while home is open and bam it shows up in library.

Any chance on the the team is working on retrieval of deleted games from the Oculus Home library using 3rd party apps via Steam?  Asking due to I deleted Project Cars from the Library due to it was ONLY opening the application for pancake (2D) gaming from OH when it was first installed to my OH library.  No HMD at all.  Yes, I own the game on my Steam library and have not been able to re-apply this title to my Oculus Home library.
