With multiple accounts, each user gets their own personalized experience, from apps to achievements. This means having separate profiles for everyone in your household or sharing your headset with friends. Having multiple accounts also means you can keep your progress, high scores, and settings separate from others.
No more accidentally messing up someone else's game or having your own achievements overshadowed. It's all about giving everyone their own space to explore, play, and enjoy VR to the fullest.
