Hey there! All your purchases and downloads are attached to your Oculus account, not your headset. While game data may be lost when completing the factory reset, once the headset is set back up, you'll just need to re-download your titles. Thanks!

You will just need to download them again.  When you do a factory reset after the initial setup you will see a list of games you own and you can select which ones to download/install.  Also, unless the game has cloud saves you will lose your saved bits.

i9 13900K water cooled, RTX4090, Z790 MB w/wifi6e, 32Gb 6400 ram, 2x2TB SSD, 1000W PSU, Win 11, QPro, Q3, w/Link and Air Link, Vive Pro1 with 2x2.0 base stations, Etsy lens mod and Index Controllers

think of it this way -

you will lose any data that is only in the headset. things like your profile are on the cloud meaning nothing tied to your profile will  be lost, such as friends

I just lost all of my games because I had to do a factory reset to let the oculus connect to my phone to connect to a different account as it logged me out of my original account. Now I have none of my games because the app logged me out of my account forcing me to do a factory reset where online I was misleadingly told that I would have all of my apps still but may need to install them again for free. Is there any way I can regain my apps as I only had a couple such as beat saber super hot and Rec room for free but it adds up. Thank you
