Oculus Quest 2 is a great VR headset that allows you to play games and apps in a virtual environment. One of the best features of the Quest 2 is its multiplayer capabilities, which allow you to play games and apps with friends and other players. In this guide, we will show you how to play multiplayer on Oculus Quest 2.
There are two ways to play multiplayer games on the Oculus Quest 2. The easiest way is to start up any game that supports multiplayer and in-game matchmaking features. This will start the multiplayer mode. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
1. Press the “Oculus” button on your right controller to open the universal menu.
2. Select the “People” icon and move your cursor over a friend’s card.
3. Select “Party”. Once your friend is in the party, select “Choose App”.
4. You can start chatting immediately and don’t have to play a game if you don’t want to. You can also invite other people at this time.
5. Locate the “Watch and Play” with your party session and select a game or app to play together. The games are played with your party, and everyone in the group has access to them, which makes it easier to find something you can all play. The game will start, and your friends will join you.
Once you’re in your party, you can manage it by blocking people if they’re causing trouble, muting yourself, switching off from the app chat, and more. Here’s how to manage your Oculus Quest 2 party:
1. Press the “Oculus” button on your controller to open the universal menu. If you’re in a party, you’ll see a “Party” controller at the bottom of the menu. You can do this even if you’re in a game.
2. To leave the party, select the red phone icon. To mute yourself, select the microphone icon. To switch to the app chat, select the app icon.
3. To manage your party, select the green phone button. To manage a party member, select the menu icon (three dots) and their card. “View profile” lets you see the person’s profile, while “Block” and “Report” are useful if the person is causing problems.
4. Click the gear icon to manage who can join the party. If you want to open up the party to all your friends, select the toggle, then select “Done”. If the toggle is gray, nobody will be able to join your party unless you invite them.
If you want to find people you’ve played with in the past, here’s how to do it:
1. Open the “People” menu and select “Recently”.
2. Move your cursor over the person’s card.
3. Select “Follow”. The person will now appear on your follow list and will have the opportunity to follow you back.
Finally, if you want to invite friends to a multiplayer session, here’s how to do it:
1. Tap the menu in The Meta Quest tab.
2. Tap “Invite Links”, then tap “Create an Invite Link”.
3. Tap “Select an App”. Tap “Multiplayer App”. Either VR Chat, if prompted, or tap “Destination” depending on the app. You may be prompted to set the destination as well. This will be the game mode or party of the game your friend can join you in.
4. Type a name for the invite and tap “Create”.
5. Tap “Share”. Select the sharing method or tap “Copy” and send the link to your friends via whatever method you like.
That’s it! We hope this guide helps you play multiplayer on Oculus Quest 2 with ease.
