Step 1: Press and hold the Oculus button on one of the controllers.

Step 2: A menu will appear in your field of view.

Step 3: Select ‘Power Off’ and press the A button to confirm.

Step 4: The controller will shut off.

Step 5: If you have another controller that needs to be turned off, repeat the same process.

Method 3: Use the Oculus Companion App
