Several other platforms like Steam, PlayStation, etc. offer family sharing for multiple users in the same household. The same game canât be played at the same time across multiple accounts or devices, but can be shared within a household in the same way that physical media works.
My husband and I got two Quests so we could play together , and take turns playing with our daughter. I'm disabled and VR could allow me to do and play with my family in a way I can't otherwise.. But I'm sad we bought
2 not knowing we also need multiple game copies
Wow. I purchased an Oculus for my middle daughter as an Xmas gift and was just about two get more.
Reading this - Iâm sticking with just the one Oculus. Glad I read this.
PLEASE OCULUS! I bought another quest for a family member, but now she's also going to have to rebuy all the games :(. We'd probably buy more quests if family sharing was a thing.
Husband and wife with four kids, purchased two Quests for Christmas. Echoing the disappointment when I discovered there is no support for family sharing or multiple profiles. Changing accounts requires a factory reset and wipe of the unit which is unacceptable from a user standpoint. I'm completely amazed by the tech. All in all, this product could have been a 10/10 like an iPhone but instead I have to give it an 8/10 for these missing basic requirements.
Product Managers have to realize that if you want adoption beyond technophile's (of which I am one) you have to prioritize the needs of families. I seriously hope that the monetization plan does not include families purchasing multiple copies of the same game. I give Oculus the benefit of the doubt and hope to hear something soon about this request in the product roadmap.
