How to Play Multiplayer Games on a Meta (Oculus) Quest 2
There are two ways to play multiplayer games on a Meta Quest 2. The easiest way is to start up any game that supports multiplayer and includes a matchmaking feature and then start the multiplayer mode. For example, you can launch Horizon Worlds, Rec Room, VR Chat, and many others, and jump right into a co-op or competitive multiplayer game with strangers. If you prefer to play with friends, your Quest 2 lets you party with up to seven of your friends at a time to chat, hang out, and play games. Your Quest needs to be updated to access this feature, so make sure to check for updates before you try. You also need an internet connection, so make sure your Quest is connected to Wi-Fi and that there isn’t too much interference. Here’s how to play multiplayer games with friends on a Meta Quest 2:
