How to factory reset Oculus Quest 2

Oculus Quest 2 is a wireless virtual reality headset that creates shared digital spaces over the Internet. You can navigate through these virtual environments and interact with the objects within them, while other people from anywhere in the world join in.

What are the reasons to reset Oculus Quest 2

When you perform a factory reset on Oculus Quest 2, the headset returns to its original factory settings. A factory reset will erase all saved data and downloaded games. You will also reset the headset to factory defaults and Oculus will restore the original firmware.

There are two main reasons to reset Oculus Quest 2:

• The headset is malfunctioning. Often users resort to resetting to factory settings if the oculus doesn’t work correctly. Although performing a factory reset often solves the problem, it’s an irreversible process, so it should only be used as a last resort. If you’ve tried all the other options or don’t care about losing all your saved data, you can perform a factory reset.
• If you are going to sell or give away your rattiertube to someone else. In that case it’s better to perform a factory reset. The person who buys the headset will essentially be using the new oculus quest without your personal information.
