You can download new content from the Oculus Store on your PC computer, or from your Oculus Rift S or Rift headset in VR. Whenever you buy or download something, you can choose to download it on a system drive that’s formatted to use the NTFS file system. All of the content you download will show up in your Oculus library.

To download content in the Oculus Store:

1. Open the Oculus app on your computer.
2. Click what you want to download.
3. Click the price to buy it or click Free if it’s a free download.

1. Put on your headset and select Store at the bottom.
2. Select what you want to download.
3. Select the price to buy it or select Free if it’s a free download.

When you browse content in the Oculus Store, you can view the comfort rating to see if the experience is right for you. We work closely with developers to make sure the comfort rating accurately matches the experience. If you’re new to VR, we recommend starting with content that’s rated Comfortable before trying Moderate, Intense or Unrated.

Comfort Ratings

The following comfort ratings can be found in the Oculus Store:

Comfortable experiences are appropriate for most people, although this rating doesn’t mean that an experience is going to be comfortable for everyone. These experiences generally avoid camera movement, player motion, or disorienting content and effects.

Moderate experiences are appropriate for many but certainly not everyone. These experiences might incorporate some camera movement, player motion, or occasionally disorienting content and effects.

Intense experiences aren’t appropriate for most people, especially those who are new to VR. These experiences incorporate significant camera movement, player motion, or disorienting content and effects.

Unrated experiences may contain intense content, which may not be right for most people, especially those who are new to VR. If you experience motion sickness or other VR effects from an unrated experience, you should select another unrated experience, or try an experience in the Oculus Store that’s rated for your comfort level.

Note: When we assign a comfort rating, we’re judging the default experience.

When you browse Oculus Rift content in the Oculus Store, you can see the supported player and tracking modes.

Supported Player Modes

Player modes let you know what types of player movement the content supports. Some content may support multiple player modes, while others may require additional devices (example: Oculus Touch). Rift content supports the following player modes:

• Sitting: Content that can be experienced sitting and works best with a minimum play area of 3 feet by 3 feet (1 meter by 1 meter). We recommend using a rotating desk chair when using Sitting content.
• Standing: Content that needs to be experienced standing and may require you to step in any direction. Standing content works best with a play area that exceeds 3 feet by 3 feet (1 meter by 1 meter).
• Roomscale: Content that needs to be experienced standing and may require you to move anywhere within your play area. Roomscale content works best with a minimum play area of 7 feet by 5 feet (2 meters by 1.5 meters). Roomscale content require 3 sensors.

Supported Tracking Modes

Tracking modes let you know which sensor configurations the content supports. Some content may support multiple tracking modes, while others may require additional devices (example: Oculus Touch). Rift content supports the following tracking modes:

• Front-facing: Content that works with either one or 2 sensors pointing in the same direction. Front-facing content may support both sitting and standing player modes.
• 360º: Content that can either work with 2 sensors set up in a diagonal (front-and-back) configuration at each corner of your play area, or with 3 sensors. 360° content may support sitting, standing and roomscale player modes. 360° tracking mode with 2 sensors requires an experimental sensor setup, and doesn't support roomscale.

Note: The experimental 2-sensor 360º setup may not work with your PC computer or play area.

• If you left the Oculus app to install at the default location, your old Library folder can be found at C:\Program Files\Oculus\Software. If you changed the install location for the Oculus app, your old Library folder will be found at the location you chose.
• The new Library folder can be found in the folder you previously created.
2. Open the Task Manager app on your computer and navigate to the Services tab, stop OVRService and close the Oculus app.
3. In your old Library folder, find the game folder for the game you'd like to move (ex: C:\Program Files\Oculus\Software\Software).
4. Cut the game folder and paste it into your new Library folder.

6. In Task Manager, navigate to the Services tab and start OVRService.
7. Open the Oculus app and select Restart Oculus under the Beta tab within your Settings menu.

Your game should now be available in your new Library Location.
