As you most likely noticed, Meta had some outage today, which temporarly bricked Quest devices. Which should technically work offline. As long as Meta is able to track you on different device. If Meta loses ability to track you (for instance, you cleared you cookies), your… https://t.co/VsgOgqGgg4

Meta's Servers Malfunctioned, Rendering All Quest Headsets Temporarily Unusable - @UploadVR https://t.co/6NiUUeXml3
Oh my god! Meta’s big crash locked me out of all my VR headsets. I thought it was only me, and I had lost access to all my work and honestly, all my leisure time, my accounts, and VR games!!! #quest3
Metas servers being down effectively bricks Quest headsets. Users can’t even use the apps they have already downloaded. @boztank this is unacceptable. Who would trust and put energy into a personal device that can be rendered useless in an instant like this?
This seems like a pretty significant design flaw to have Quest hardware contingent on Meta's centralized servers working, otherwise it completely bricks the device. It looks like devices are now online again. 1st image from @uploadvr. 2nd image is me having to reconnect my Quest. https://t.co/b0eM0FCwvt https://t.co/QiqaVDBkz5

Are the Meta servers down on Quest? All my devices are not connecting anymore with Profile, Store, Feed etc. and are giving me this error My Quest 3 and Quest Pro are now Stuck. Also fun fact, is some apps I show up as another person, while some apps can't start anymore. WTF https://t.co/giIYFggF9K
Meta login not working for anyone else? According to Downdetector, there have been over 130,000 reported outages in the last hour, so I guess so. I'm unable to login on the mobile app, PC Oculus app, or in the Quest 3 at the moment.
