You should always take care when sideloading. It might sound like a daunting task, but it is actually very simple to do.
With the Quest, we use a USB cable to transfer the content. Rather than downloading the content to our PC, Sideloading avoids this method by placing the content directly onto your device. ‘Sideloading’ is the term applied when we load content such as apps or games from a source which is not an ‘official’ store such as the Oculus store, Google play store or Apple store, for example.
Always use a reliable source for your sideloaded content. When sideloading, although legal and usually safe, always bear in mind that you are putting content onto your device that has not been approved by Facebook and could potentially damage your device, even if it doesn’t appear so at first, the content could contain malicious code. With the curation policy in place, users were wondering if they could still run other content on their Quest device that’s not curated by Facebook for the Oculus store. Developers were initially sceptical of the impact a stringent process could have on the production of their apps, especially on what is a relatively new market, but many have actually seen some strong results. This allows them to better regulate any app that is listed. This policy will operate in a similar manner to policies on traditional consoles like the Xbox or PlayStation. We can however, use SideQuest to load content onto our Quest or Quest 2 device with our PC, opening up an even bigger library of apps for us to enjoy.īefore apps can be released, Facebook decided that they would implement a curation policy for content that would appear on the Quest through its official Oculus Store. Both of these headsets are standalone systems, meaning we don’t need to be tethered to a console or PC. The first Oculus Quest launched in May 2019 and its successor, the Quest 2 followed in October 2020. Very often apps will be released officially after all the bugs have been sorted. It allows publishers to test their apps by allowing users to try them out. The reason its not yet on the store is that it isn’t approved by Facebook.
