The Meta Quest 3 comes with a free 6-month membership for the Quest+. It can be a bit tricky to activate it unless you know a few ways to get the prompt to activate the promo.
Meta Quest+ is the equivalent of PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass, giving players two new VR games every month. While the games are only playable as long as you have the membership, the variety of titles available for players makes it worth the money. The service is still fairly new, but it seems to be quite popular among Quest users already. If you have just purchased your new Quest and are wondering how you can activate the membership, here is everything you need to know about it.
Activating your Quest+ membership can be quite tricky if you are looking for a free trial. For users who are looking to get the Quest+ membership directly, simply buying it will activate it. However, for the trial that comes free with your purchase, you need to follow the given steps.
- Setup the Meta Quest 3 on the mobile app
- Open the Meta Quest app and click on Menu
- Select Quest+
- You should see the prompt to activate your 6 months trial
- Alternatively, you can also check for your notifications and look for the trial activation prompt there.
While this process might seem really straightforward, the catch is that a lot of players have reported that they are not able to see the notification or the prompt on the app. Thankfully, there are a few handy tricks to activate the Quest+ membership. If you are unable to see the notification on your app, you can follow the given steps.
- Go to the Meta website and log in with your account
- Click on Quest+ and then the one-month trial option. However, do not proceed with the rest of the process just yet.
- Head back to the Quest+ mobile app and now you should be able to see the option to activate your 6-month trial.
- Alternatively, users have also reported that activating the 1-month trial, factory resetting your Quest 3, and going through the entire pairing process again seems to have fixed the issue for them.
While this might be a bit of a hassle, the free trial is certainly worth it. The aforementioned methods seem to be working for players, so you should be able use them.
