Gifting "preowned" digital games
I have a game that I would like to give to a friend who just got his first oculas. I see a way to buy a game as a gift but I just don't want mine and want to transfer the game to him. Kinda like what you used to do when you wanted to play a game back when, just give the cartridge/disc to your buddy and they were good to go. With this being digital I know it more complicated than that. However I don't want him paying for something I could just give him and be done with myself....
Hey there laughingbaldman! We are pleased to hear you and your friend are apart of the Quest family! We'd love to provide you with some information so you and your friend can continue your fun experiences in the world of VR! Any purchased apps are tied to the account that made the purchase, and there is no way to transfer the game from your account to your friend's account at this time. We understand how that may not be the response you were hoping for, but no worries! You can still purchase an app and send it to your friend as an app gift! Check out this link on sending and receiving app gifts. Also, you can share purchased apps from your admin account with additional accounts on your device. Follow these steps on how to turn on app sharing from your device. We hope you find this information helpful!
