How to get App Lab on Quest 2

As Roblox will be on App Lab, you must have it ready on your Quest 2. Meta introduced the App Lab in February 2021. Users could use it to install games and apps from sources other than the Oculus Store. Meta continues to curate The App Lab, however, the official store has more priority.

You’ll need SideQuest to access the App Lab. Go to the SideQuest website on your computer or mobile device if you are just interested in App Lab content. You can browse all the popular App Lab applications and games on that website. Here is how to install content from App Lab using SideQuest on Quest 2:

Open SideQuest.
Find the game you want to download.
Select “Download App (Oculus).”
Click the blue button at the bottom.
Launch your Oculus Mobile app.
Go to Menu and tap “My Library.”
Find the game you downloaded and tap on it.
Select “Install on Headset.”
