Do you still need a FB account? They made some news late last year about maybe getting rid of that requirement but I haven't seen anything about it since.

I don't have a FB account and will never get one, but I'm casually interested in the quest2.

Facebook login is no longer a requirement.

I don't believe you're correct.

Facebook said something to the effect of not requiring a Facebook login at some future date, and said future date has yet to materialize. Neither did they specify what the alternative login would be, but it wouldn't be surprising if it was just a "Meta" account instead.

You have to reach out to their support, but it's absolutely possible. I did it myself with a five minute chat. It's just an 'Oculus' account at that point, like it was before the requirement.

Why would you answer this question before personally verifying?

Because I've personally done it?

The Quest 2 is a really nice piece of hardware that is sadly significantly hampered by its ties to Facebook. I will never own one because of it.
