I’m having the exact same problem with the exact same bundle… just got mine today let’s me download all my other games but not wrath 2 please help… could you add the games to our accounts since you can probably tell both our accounts have meta quest 3? I’ll look for fixes in the meantime though

Hey, im trying to redeem my gift card I bought, I tried a different network, different devices, and even updated the headset but it still says "error performing query." Does anyone know the solution?

I had a problem where I used a supernatural 3 month gift card from target and every time I went to plug the code in it said error performing query . I was so upset after a month of trying. Finally I found out my Facebook had a different email then my meta everything that’s connected to meta has to have the same email like if you meta is connected through Facebook. I had to log into Facebook and update my email. The code miraculously worked after that.

Hi Josh.0609​ 🙂

Unfortunately, many users are having issues to buy games or to use giftcards currently.

As far as I know, there is no resolution yet.🙁
