This guide explains how to install the HakoBio XR Experience on your Meta Quest headset through the official Meta Store.
This is the recommended installation method for most users. It does not require additional software or Developer Mode, and future updates are handled automatically through the Meta Store.
Before starting, make sure your headset has already been configured. If you have not completed the initial setup, follow the XR Headset Configuration guide first.
Before You Start
Make sure you have the following ready:
- A Meta Quest headset that has already been configured
- A Meta account, created and synced across your headsets
- An active Wi-Fi connection
- The installation link shared by your HakoBio contact, or found on the XR page of the HakoBio website

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to create a new Meta account?
No. Use the Meta account already set up and synced on your headset. You do not need a separate account for the HakoBio XR app.
What’s the difference between this method and the SideQuest installation?
Installing from the Meta Store, as described in this article, is the official method: it requires no extra software or developer mode, and updates automatically. Installing via SideQuest is an alternative method used in specific cases — see our SideQuest installation guide for details.
Can multiple headsets or team members use the same access?
Access is tied to the Meta account used to accept the invite, and a Meta account can be synced across multiple headsets. If you’re deploying the app across many headsets in an organization, see our Meta Horizon Managed Services & Device Manager article for centralized deployment options.
Do I need Wi-Fi after installation?
Wi-Fi is required to download the HakoBio XR App and receive automatic updates. The HakoBio XR App includes an offline mode, allowing you to access projects without an internet connection after they have been downloaded in advance over Wi-Fi.
How do I update or uninstall the app?
Updates are handled automatically once the app is installed, so no manual steps are required. To remove the app, go to the Library on your headset, select the HakoBio XR app, and choose the option to uninstall it, the same way you would remove any other Meta Quest app.
