Default Oculus VR headsets will need a Facebook account

Or your VR will never upgrade again

Existing owners who don't want to use a Facebook account have until 2023 before losing "full functionality".

Starting in October, new Oculus VR headset owners will need a Facebook account if they want to use their device.

The company said: "Everyone using an Oculus device for the first time will need to log in with a Facebook account."

The official Oculus application is where users configure their Oculus VR headsets, update drivers, and make purchases from the Oculus Store. You can use an Oculus headset with third-party software, but it seems like it'd be very difficult to avoid the official app, at least for the initial setup.

Existing Oculus headset owners will be able to keep using their standalone Oculus accounts for now, which are just tied to an email address. But after 2023, however, their accounts will no longer be supported and they will lose "full functionality." To keep full functionality, their only option will be to merge their Oculus account with a Facebook account.
