With the Oculus Quest 2 now out and available, a whole host of new players will be jumping into the world of portable virtual reality. When you initially set up your headset, you’re asked to create an Oculus account and enter a username that’ll be shown publicly in games. If you don’t like the one you’ve used, here’s everything you need to know about how to change Oculus Username.
While you set up the username with the headset on, you’ll need to go online without it to change what you’ve set. We’ll run you through exactly where you need to go down below.
