The Meta Quest 2 - formally Oculus Quest 2 - is a versatile headset thanks to its self-contained nature, which allows it to be used almost anywhere. While it's not the most powerful option on the market, its store has a robust selection of games and apps for owners to download and use. Of course, only a few of those games and apps are free, so Meta users will need a payment method to buy the paid ones. Here's how to add a card or other payment method on Meta Quest 2.

While it's relatively well laid out, the Meta Store isn't the best. Its menu navigation can be confusing, and the Meta Quest 2 UI doesn't help. Searching also takes a bit of patience by the nature of the point-and-click keyboard that pops up while using the headset. With that in mind, it's easiest to use the Meta mobile app to add a payment method.

Updated December 6th, 2022, by Michael Llewellyn: The Meta Quest 2 is designed for convenience and accessibility. Players can take the device almost anywhere and play with friends or on their own. Purchasing games on the fly is also set up for convenience, but without a guide, it can be intimidating for new users. Thankfully, following this updated guide using the step-by-step method included will make the process far less painful. This guide now contains the new brand name swap from Oculus to Meta.
