Facebook is now offering a referral program that will suggest friends in your network to buy Oculus Quest 2 and grant store credit to those who accept the offer.
Facebook says it will spend $ 60 in store credit – $ 30 to the referrer and $ 30 to the new buyer – when the new headset is activated in conjunction with the program. Some popular multiplayer games like Onward cost around $ 29.99, so the program can effectively start multiplayer game sessions with the standalone Quest 2 by paying the cost of the game for both players.
The program can be found in the Oculus app under a diamond symbol on the main screen with the terms listed here. The website states that the program is limited to two uses per month and will last until the end of October 2021, but may be extended. Facebook offers a list of recommended recommendations and a button that when pressed sends a referral link through Facebook Messenger instantly.
Facebook is on a multi-year journey to bring down VR hardware prices and get more people into its headsets. Late last year, the company required the devices to be used in conjunction with a Facebook account and has had backlash in recent weeks for testing advertising on a paid VR app for Facebook VR boss Andrew Bosworth said they are “lowering prices for” consumers. “
“I’m pretty inclined to use all the profits we can make from things like an app store and simply lower the price,” said Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg earlier this year.
