This article highlights the process of merging an existing platform account to a regular VRChat account.
Benefits of a Full VRChat Account
A full VRChat account enables users to:
- Gain Trust Ranks
- Retain the simplicity of one-click logins
- Upload and manage worlds and avatars using the VRChat SDK
- Post to VRChat's Feedback Forums, and Ask Forums
- Submit contributions to the VRChat Wiki
- Apply to enroll in the Creator Economy Program
Pre-Merge Considerations
Favorites Limit
Upon merging, if the total number of favorites exceeds the platform's maximum limit, users may retain more favorites than typically allowed. However, to add new favorites, users must remove existing ones to fit within the limit.
Purchase Restrictions
Users who have made purchases through the Creator Economy on any platform (Steam, Meta, Viveport, Pico) cannot merge their accounts into a full VRChat account. This restriction is temporary and expected to be lifted.
Merging Process
To merge a platform account into a full VRChat account, follow these steps:
- Log into the Steam, Meta, Pico, or Viveport account you wish to merge.
- Open the Main Menu in VRChat.
- Navigate to Settings.
- Locate and click the Upgrade Account button below the Exit option.
- If the Upgrade Account button is not visible, you are already logged into a full VRChat account.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to link your account.
Post-Merge
Linking is permanent and irreversible. It can take up to one day for account data to fully merge. For any issues during or after the process, contact VRChat support at 
VRChat Support.
Limitations
Each full VRChat account can be linked to one account from each supported platform simultaneously.
