Where do I put the Meta code?
So, you have got a Meta VR code, maybe for a free game, app, subscription, or device activation. But you are not sure where to input it.
Don’t worry! Redeeming your code is straightforward once you know where to look.
Below, we will walk you through the most common methods to redeem your Meta (formerly Oculus) VR code, whether you are using a smartphone, computer, or VR headset.
Redeem via the Meta Quest Mobile App
The Meta Quest app (available on iOS and Android) is the go-to method for most users.
Here’s how:
- Open the Meta Quest app and log in to your Meta account.
- Tap the Menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom-right corner.
- Click on “Store” from the menu.
- Select your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Choose “Redeem Code.”
- Enter your code exactly as shown (case-sensitive) and confirm.
The content will unlock instantly and appear in your library on the app or headset.
Redeem on the Meta Website
Prefer using a computer? Follow these steps:
- Go to the www.meta.com/device page.
- Log in to your Meta account.
- Type or paste your code into the field.
- Click “Redeem” to apply it to your account.
If the code is valid, the content will sync to your VR headset automatically.
Redeem Directly on Your Meta VR Headset
If you are already in VR, you can redeem codes without removing your headset:
- Put on your headset and open the Meta Store.
- Navigate to the “Search” or “Menu” section.
- Look for an option labeled “Redeem Code” (location may vary by headset model).
- Enter the code using the virtual keyboard.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Invalid Code Error? Double-check for typos, extra spaces, or mismatched characters (e.g., “0” VS “O”).
- Region Restrictions: Some codes only work in specific countries. Ensure your account’s region matches the code’s requirements.
- Expired Code: Promo codes may have expiration dates. Contact Meta Support if you suspect this is the issue.
- Device Setup Code: If your code came with a new headset, enter it during initial setup via the mobile app.
What if the Meta Code Still Does not Work?
Contact Meta Customer Support with:
- The exact code.
- A screenshot or photo of the code (if physical).
- Details about where/how you acquired it.
Conclusion
Most Meta VR codes are redeemed through the mobile app or website, but always check the instructions included with your code.
Once redeemed, your game, app, or subscription will be tied to your account permanently.
Now, put on your headset and enjoy your new content!
