The company indicated that as of December 4 they will not accept Oculus applications or updates to applications within the store, nor will they make any applications public after December 18, 2020. However, Facebook will continue to provide security patches and fixes. to Oculus Go devices until 2022.

On the other hand, the company took the opportunity and announced that new applications and the software will be available for Oculus Quest glasses in 2021, a more advanced model than Oculus Go since Quests offer better graphic quality ––similar to Oculus Rift– - and include the Oculus Touch controls.
