Pico 4 review: Questing for greatness

The Pico 4 boasts better specifications and a lower price point than the Quest 2, but how does it fair in real-world use?

Comfortable fit ; Excellent visuals ; Solid performance ; Works well with PC VR ; Great value

Software is less refined than the competition ; Some key titles are missing from the library ; No 3.5mm headphone jack

The Pico 4 is an excellent VR headset that beats out the market leader in all areas but one - the software. If you have access to a gaming PC we think this is one of the best VR purchases you can make, If you'll be using the headset standalone, you may...

Pico 4 review: better than Meta?

This standalone headset takes aim at the Meta Quest 2 with slimline optics. Does the Pico 4 have what it takes?

High quality optics ; Accurate head and controller tracking ; Undercuts its closest rival

Pico store missing some VR big hitters ; Battery life could be better ; Availability restricted to certain regions

A sensibly-priced standalone VR headset that impresses on the hardware front. There’s a decent selection of games, too – as long as you don’t mind missing out on big-name Meta exclusives.

Pico 4 review

The Pico 4 boasts more advanced hardware and a cheaper price tag than Meta's popular Quest 2 VR headset - it just lacks some big-name VR games for now.

Slim, compact design ; Next-gen pancake optics and boosted resolution ; Solid VR gaming experience ; More affordable than the Quest 2

No hand tracking ; Limited game library

The Pico 4 could be a true competitor to the Quest 2 with more advanced hardware and a cheaper entry-level price tag, though it’s lacking some of the big VR titles that make Meta’s VR headset shine.

PICO 4 Review – VR WIthout The Hassles

Looking for a VR headset that's easy to setup and use as a standalone and for PC? Check out our PICO 4 review and see if this is the one for you.

+ Easy to setup ; + Wireless freedom for VR ; + Works on its own and as a PC VR headset ; + Light and comfortable to use for as long as the battery lasts ; + Great high resolution display with up to 90Hz refresh rate ; + Interactions work smoothly with...

- Needs more apps / games on PICO OS to be a more viable standalone VR solution ; - No headphone jack, can only connect to headphones via Bluetooth ; - Speaker and microphone driver conflict on PC causes confusing audio issues ; - You need 4 AA...

In essence, PICO 4 isn't exactly revolutionary as it does something that its rivals can do pretty much the same. The key point here is making VR more accessible than ever in a package that's versatile and easy to use.
