Meta deleting Oculus accounts at the end of the month
05.03.2024 - 12:48 / eurogamer.net / Meta Quest
Meta Quest owners have a little over three weeks to make sure they've migrated their old Oculus accounts to a Meta one.
On 29th March, Meta will delete any remaining Oculus accounts and all apps, associated store credits, achievements, and friend lists. Past that date, it'll be lost unless users migrate to a Meta account using the email address on their Oculus account.
Meta has been sending emails to Meta Quest owners to remind them of the deadline (via The Verge), following a gradual shift from Oculus accounts, which are linked to Facebook accounts, to email-based Meta accounts.
Newscast: Will Pokémon Legends: ZA be a Switch 2 launch title? Newscast: Will Pokémon Legends: ZA be a Switch 2 launch title?In August 2020, Meta announced all Quest users would need a Facebook account in order to use their headsets by 1st January 2023. After people reported merging their Oculus account with a newly-created Facebook account had essentially bricked their headsets, Meta introduced a new account system in August 2022, allowing people to bypass the Facebook account requirement.
So, if you have an Oculus Rift or Meta Quest headset and you haven't used it in a couple of years, this change might affect you, especially if you'd like to keep hold any games you've purchased and store credits. It's worth checking your inbox to see if you've received an email from Meta, or you can head straight to Meta's website to create a Meta account.

Another new The Movies-like is coming this summer to fulfil the promise of your nostalgia
Mention Lionhead's '05 management sim about running a film studio and someone will crash through the wall, Kool-Aid Man style, to say they really liked it and there should be a remake or a sequel. In recent years there have been a few attempts to make a game like The Movies, with games like Moviehouse and Filmmaker Tycoon sitting pretty at 'mostly negative' status on Steam because they are not, in fact, like The Movies beyond the basic premise. But Blockbuster Inc. has shouldered its way into the conversation, wearing big puffy trousers, shouting through an old-timey megaphone, and openly billing itself as a "spiritual successor" to The Movies. It's launching on June 6th this year, but you can play the prologue on Steam for free right now.
