Oculess

Oculess is a handy tool for anyone with an Oculus Quest 2 who wants to skip the Facebook account hassle. You probably know that you can’t use your VR headset unless you’re connected to Facebook. And if you ever decide to deactivate or delete your Facebook account, guess what? You lose all your purchased games and achievements! That’s a real bummer, right?

What Does Oculess Do?

This cool script helps you work around that annoying requirement. Basically, it lets you temporarily or partially remove the need for a Facebook account and the extra tracking (or telemetry) that comes with it on your Oculus Quest devices.

How to Get Started with Oculess

Now, since Oculess is a script, it doesn't have a fancy interface like most apps do. You'll need to sideload it onto your Oculus Quest 2, which sounds tricky but is totally doable! First, you'll create a developer account so you can connect your headset to your PC or Android smartphone. Once that's done, you can easily transfer the utility onto your device's main storage.

Logging Off Facebook and Using Your VR Headset

The best part? After using Oculess, you’ll be logged off from Facebook but still get to enjoy all those awesome VR experiences! If you're worried about the process being complicated, don’t sweat it—there are plenty of video guides and step-by-step instructions available from the developer to help you out.

A Word of Caution

While it's great that Oculess removes the Facebook requirement and stops those pesky updates from breaking things, there are some risks involved. Just keep in mind that some features might not work perfectly after running the script. For example, accessing the Oculus Store or certain games could become an issue. If things go south or if you simply change your mind about using Oculess, you'll have to do a factory reset on your Oculus Quest 2.
