Is Oculus down? How to check status and fix

Are you wondering if Oculus is down at the moment or how to check status and fix any issues if it is? When Oculus is down, you may encounter error messages such as “something went wrong” or “generate a new device code,” indicating a possible problem with either the Oculus servers or your configuration. However, it can be challenging to determine whether this is a widespread or localized issue.

To determine if Oculus is experiencing any issues, you can visit the Oculus page on the Downdetector website. This platform displays any outages reported by other Oculus users within the past 24 hours. Additionally, users can interact with each other by leaving comments, which can help you determine the extent of the issue you are experiencing.

Unfortunately, if the Oculus servers are down, you can do nothing to fix it. You must wait patiently until the Meta team finds and addresses the issues causing the server outages. To ensure you are updated, follow The Oculus Subreddit page, as Oculus users quickly post updates here.
