While undoubtedly the most popular VR headset on the market, the Oculus Quest 2 is not entirely without issues, with the Oculus Quest 2 not loading games issue being a key problem.
People (obviously) don't part with their hard-earned money just so they can enjoy looking at a loading screen. Even if it's a particularly beautiful one. While it's certainly better than the Oculus Quest not turning on, or the Oculus Quest controller drift issue, it's still frustrating, regardless.
If this happens to you, what exactly can you do to fix it? Here are a few suggestions to solve the Oculus Quest 2 not loading games problem and more.
How To Fix Oculus Quest 2 Game Stuck On Loading
If you find your Oculus Quest 2 game is stuck on loading, there are a number of potential solutions to try. Whether you see a loading screen that doesn't change, or in some cases, potentially just a black screen, the first thing to try is to reset your headset. To do this:
- While wearing your headset, hold the power button down until a shut-down screen appears.
- Select Restart to reboot your headset.
In most cases, this will be sufficient to fix the glitch, and you can then try loading your game again. In some cases, however, this doesn't appear to remedy the issue. So is there anything else you can try?

Other Possible Fixes
If resetting your headset doesn't fix your Oculus Quest 2 game stuck on loading, then there are a few other potential solutions you can try:
- Make sure your Oculus software is fully up-to-date.
- Try plugging your Quest 2 into a PC with a USB cable. Some users have reported that this has worked for them.
- If neither of these works, then it may be time to consider a factory reset.
If none of these steps works, then it's probably time to submit a support ticket with Oculus. They appreciate it if you can capture a photo of the error you are dealing with, as well as a description. This will help them to find a solution faster.
