# How do I add and find games on Meta Quest?

> Buy and install Quest games from the Store on the headset or the Meta Horizon app, find them in your Library, and play PC VR games over Link.

To add games to a Meta Quest, open the Store on the headset (or the Meta Horizon app on your phone), buy or pick a free game, and install it. Installed and purchased games then appear in the Library on the headset, and games bought on your phone install to the headset the next time it's online. You can also play PC VR games, including Steam titles, by connecting the Quest to a gaming PC with Quest Link (cable) or Air Link (Wi-Fi).

## From the headset

1. Put on the headset and open the **Store** from the universal menu.
2. Search or browse, then select a game.
3. Buy it (or select Get for free games) and the download starts.
4. Find it later in your **Library**.

## From your phone

1. Open the **Meta Horizon** app (formerly the Meta Quest app) and sign in with the same account as the headset.
2. Go to the Store, choose a game and buy it.
3. The game installs to the paired headset automatically when it's on and connected.

## PC VR games

With a VR-ready Windows PC, install the Meta Quest Link app on the PC, connect the headset with a USB-C cable (Link) or over a strong Wi-Fi network (Air Link), and launch games from Steam or the PC store. Steam Link for Quest is another way to stream SteamVR games wirelessly.

## Developer sideloading

Developers can install their own apps after enabling developer mode in a registered developer account. Only install files you trust; apps outside the Store aren't reviewed by Meta.

## FAQ

**How do I share games between Meta accounts?**
Turn on App Sharing in the headset settings. Other accounts added to the same headset can then play games owned by the primary account on that device.

**Can you transfer games between Meta accounts?**
No. Purchases are tied to the account that bought them; you can share them on a headset, but not move them.

**Where is my game library on Meta Quest?**
Open the Library from the menu bar on the headset. It lists everything you own on that account, and you can install games from there that aren't on the headset yet.

**Why can't I install Meta Horizon+ games?**
Catalog games are only available while your Horizon+ subscription is active, and the headset must be signed in to the subscribing account. Also check free storage and install any pending system update.

**How do I play EA app or other non-Store PC games through Link?**
Connect with Link, open the PC desktop view from the Link menu, and launch the game from its own launcher, such as the EA app or Steam. Meta's PC app can also list such games under Unknown Sources if you allow them in its settings.

**How do I update Quest games?**
Updates install automatically by default. You can also check Library > Updates (or similar) on the headset to install them manually.
