Hi all,

Just trying to clear this game sharing thing out....doing my brain in as on the videos i have watched they seem to conflict with each other.

I have bought 2 x Oculus 2 headsets for my two kids and i don't want to buy 2 x of each game so i want to game share.

Is this how it works:

Oculus 1: Create a new account (Buy games for this account and install)

Oculus 2: Create a new account (Don't buy games for this account)

On the Oculus 1 open settings menu and navigate to the accounts tab, enable app sharing, then add sub-account and add Oculus 2 to it.

Does that sound right?

p.s All my other queries has been sorted thanks to a member on this forum, it's just this one that deludes me.
 
More complicated.

App sharing literally means "if account xxx that I have shared a game with logs on to MY headset, they can play the shared game"

So you can end up sharing games across headsets if you use one account to own headset A and headset B and then make the 2nd child the guest account on headset B.
