Bought 2 headsets, do we need to buy games twice?

If both headsets are set up with the same account (which is fine, you can have unlimited headsets on one account) then all games are shared and you only buy them once.

At least that's for single player games.

Multiplayer is a bit more varied. Some multiplayer games like Half+Half and Rec Room let the one account log in several times. Most others won't let you do that.

I don't know how Eleven Table Tennis VR handles it, I don't own that one.

There's also the potential issue of save progress and leaderboards. If both headsets are using one account, cloud based progress may be affected, and you wouldn't have separate leaderboards.

The Quest does now support account sharing, where you can log on to a headset using a second account. However I've never tried (it's against the Facebook rules for one person to make 2 accounts, and I don't want to get my account locked by testing sharing). I think that may work, but I really don't know, we'll need someone with experience at that kind of thing to answer.

I have the same issue, we purchased 3 headsets to play as a family however we can't share purchased games.  I've asked chat support and 1 headset can have multiple accounts, it doesn't seem right that a family with multiple headsets can't do 1 purchase and link so everyone have access. 

I compare it with my playstore account for example with my phone.

I can download and install all my playstore apps to any mobile device i own linked to my playstore account but if my wife has the same phone but her own account then she cannot use my apps and would have to purchase them herself whether i already own them or not

So .. If your all linked to the same oculus \ facebook  account you should all have access to the same apps.

Being that the Quest works the same as any other mobile i just took it for granted thats the way it works.

Thanks everyone for the information, really appreciate it. I’ll give it a go later today, and update here on how it performs for us. Fingers crossed it works!

Hi All, just as an update, we’ve just tried it out on the 2nd headset and were able to play a private game of mini golf on the Walkabout Mini Golf game! It works 🙂

thanks for the info

I just bought a second Oculus 2 device. I tried to share but had some issues. The newest device with the new account states the game is shared but is still forcing me to buy it. I missed out on the game sales because I don't want to have a game that cannot be shared. I will have to do more research before I start buying new games again.  

Just as an update, my wife and I found that we could play the following games together on our separate headsets, with my primary account having purchased these games, and enabling App Sharing on one headset so that my wife could log into her own separate account on that same headset. 
The games are: 

* Beat Saber

* Walkabout Mini Golf

* ForeVR Bowling

We haven’t bought any other games yet, but can update this forum further once we do. We did find quite a comprehensive listing of games that can be shared through the Cas And Chary website and YouTube channel, that anyone interested, can easily Google search. 

1 question can you play the same games at same time so you can play each other was wo during as I have rift and quest 2
