In an email sent to users, the company says it will delete Oculus accounts on March 29th, 2024, preventing you from reactivating or retrieving your apps, in-app purchases, store credits, and more. You\u2019ll lose your achievements, friends list, and any content created with your Oculus account if you don\u2019t migrate to a Meta account before then.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Oculus accounts have been on the way out since 2020, when the company then known as Facebook <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2020\/8\/18\/21372435\/oculus-facebook-login-change-separate-account-support-end-quest-october\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">started requiring new users<\/a> to sign up with Facebook accounts instead. However, it added the ability to create a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/23\/23318359\/meta-quest-vr-account-login-facebook-oculus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meta account in 2022<\/a>, offering an alternative to users who didn\u2019t want to link their Facebook account to their Quest headset. Meta stopped letting users log in to their Oculus accounts in January 2023. If you\u2019ve got a Quest gathering dust in a drawer somewhere, now\u2019s your last chance to migrate your Oculus account to a Meta one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p> <cite class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline not-italic text-gray-63 dark:text-gray-bd [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:text-gray-bd dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray\">Screenshot by Emma Roth \/ The Verge<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">You can migrate your account by <a href=\"https:\/\/auth.meta.com\/?is_email_click=true&amp;utm_source=oculus&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_parent=vr_channels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">heading to this page<\/a> and signing up for a Meta account with the same email you\u2019ve used for Oculus.
