The Pico 4 (styled PICO 4 by its maker) is a standalone virtual reality headset made by Pico, a company owned by ByteDance, the Chinese technology group behind TikTok.[1] It was announced on 22 September 2022 and released in October 2022 in 13 European countries, Japan and South Korea (on 18 October in Europe), at €429 for the 128 GB model and €499 for the 256 GB model.[2][3] Pico positioned it against the Meta Quest 2, which cost €449 for 128 GB at the time.[3]
The Pico 4 uses the same Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 (Gen 1) chip as the Quest 2, paired with 8 GB of RAM, two 2,160 x 2,160 LCD panels and pancake lenses.[2][4] UploadVR described it as the first fully standalone headset with pancake lenses to launch outside China.[3] The battery sits in the rear of the headstrap, which keeps the front visor at 295 grams.[3] Pico never released the headset in the United States. A planned US launch announcement in March 2023 was put on hold, according to a Pico employee quoted by The Verge, because of the US congressional hearing on TikTok.[5] Its successor, the Pico 4 Ultra, launched in 2024.[6] As of October 2026 the newest system software Pico lists for the original Pico 4 is PICO OS V5.13.3.S, dated 9 July 2025,[7] and Valve released its Steam Link app for it on the Pico Store in September 2025.[8]
Announcement and release
Background
Pico says it was founded in March 2015.[9] ByteDance confirmed its purchase of the company on 30 August 2021 without disclosing a price.[10] EqualOcean reported that Pico's internal letter confirming the deal put the price at 9 billion yuan (US$1.39 billion).[11]
Before the Pico 4, Pico sold to consumers in China but focused on businesses elsewhere. In 2022 it launched the Pico Neo 3 Link to European consumers as a "beta program" and offered Neo 3 Link buyers a 35% discount on its successor, which turned out to be the Pico 4.[12]
Launch
Pico announced the Pico 4 on 22 September 2022. Road to VR reported an 18 October 2022 release in 13 European countries, Japan and South Korea, with Singapore and Malaysia to follow later in 2022.[2] In the UK it started at £379 for the 128 GB model.[13] In Japan, pre-orders opened on 29 September 2022 at 49,000 yen for 128 GB and 59,400 yen for 256 GB, including tax, and sales began on 7 October 2022, ahead of the European date.[14][15] Pre-orders opened on 23 September for Neo 3 Link owners and in October for everyone else.[12] At launch Pico said it could not ship every pre-order on time because of "unprecedented global demand".[1]
In China, sales began on 27 September 2022 at 2,499 yuan for 128 GB and 2,799 yuan for 256 GB. The South China Morning Post, citing market intelligence firm Sandalwood Advisors, reported more than 46,000 online orders in China in the first 18 days, 65% of them through JD.com.[16]
Alongside the headset, Pico announced three accessories for 2023 at €50 each: a fitness tracker, a wireless PC VR dongle and a carrying case.[2]
Variants
The Pico 4 Pro adds eye and face tracking and was sold to consumers in China only.[12] TechNode reported in April 2023 that the Pico 4 Pro cost 3,799 yuan with 8 GB of LPDDR5 memory and 512 GB of storage.[17] Outside China, businesses could buy the Pico 4 Enterprise, which is based on the Pico 4 Pro. It was announced in October 2022 at €900 including a business warranty, a business license and priority support. It has 256 GB of storage instead of the Pro's 512 GB, three extra cameras for eye and face tracking and automatic IPD adjustment. Pico sold it only to registered businesses in Europe, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand.[18]
United States
When the headset was announced, Pico had not revealed plans to launch it in the US.[2] In March 2023, The Verge's Sean Hollister reported that Pico had planned to release the Pico 4 in the US and to announce it at GDC 2023, but a Pico employee said the company decided to wait because of the congressional hearing on a possible ban or forced sale of TikTok.[5][19]
Sales
In November 2022, UploadVR relayed a Sina Technology report, based on several Pico insiders, that Pico 4 sales were not meeting expectations. According to that report, Pico had aimed to sell more than a million headsets in 2022 and had cut its initial supply order from 2.5 million units to 1.8 million.[20] In March 2023 TechNode, citing 36Kr, reported that Pico sold roughly 700,000 headsets in 2022 against its target of one million, and had lowered its 2023 target to around 500,000.[21]
Successor
Pico launched the Pico 4 Ultra in China in August 2024. UploadVR described it as a refresh of the Pico 4 with an upgraded chipset, RAM, passthrough cameras, battery, Wi-Fi and controllers, while the lenses, displays and overall design stayed almost identical. The single passthrough camera of the Pico 4 was replaced by two 32-megapixel cameras.[6]
In December 2023 MIXED relayed a report by The Information that ByteDance had cancelled a planned Pico 5, meant to launch at the end of 2024, because Pico 4 sales had fallen well short of expectations, while work continued on an "updated version of the Pico 4". The same report said ByteDance had cut about 400 of Pico's 1,800 employees the previous month.[22] The Pico 4 Ultra reached Europe and the Asia-Pacific region on 20 September 2024, priced at €600 or £530 for 256 GB.[23]
Current status
As of 17 October 2026 Pico's global website still carries the Pico 4 product and specification pages.[24][4] Its PICO OS download page lists V5.13.3.S, dated 9 July 2025, as the current system version for the Pico 4. The newer V5.14.4.U release of August 2025 names other models, such as the Pico 4 Ultra, Pico Neo3 and Pico G3, as its supported devices, but not the Pico 4.[7]
Design and hardware
Build and comfort
The Pico 4's visor weighs 295 grams without its straps, almost 40% less than the 470-gram visor of the Quest 2. Like its predecessor, it keeps the battery in the rear of the strap rather than in the visor.[3] Because the strap is not detachable, the complete headset weighs 586 grams, more than a Quest 2.[25] The rigid strap cannot be swapped for third-party alternatives.[1] Stuff listed its dimensions as 163 x 255-310 x 80 mm, depending on headband adjustment.[25] Pico's product page says the weight is spread evenly between the front and the rear, and that the front end was made 26.2% lighter and 38.8% thinner, without naming the design it is compared with.[24]
The facial interface uses a breathable fabric, the same kind used on the Oculus Go, which UploadVR found gentler than the Quest 2's foam.[1] MIXED's reviewer had a different view of the head mount, calling it "the most uncomfortable VR headset Pico has made so far" because of the rigid back plate and narrow forehead contact points.[26]
Display and optics
The headset has two 2.56-inch LCD panels with a combined resolution of 4,320 x 2,160 (2,160 x 2,160 per eye), 1,200 pixels per inch and 20.6 pixels per degree. Refresh rates are 72 Hz and 90 Hz.[4] Pico's product page calls the panels "Fast-LCD" screens.[24] At launch the default was 72 Hz and 90 Hz was experimental.[1]
The pancake lens design allows smaller panels placed closer to the lenses, which makes the visor slimmer and lighter.[3] Pico claims a 105-degree diagonal field of view, up from the 98-degree diagonal of the Neo 3 Link.[12] UploadVR listed it as 105 x 105 degrees, against up to 96 x 96 degrees for the Quest 2.[1] The lenses are spaced by a motor, with stepless interpupillary distance adjustment from 62 to 72 mm.[3]
| Specification | Pico 4 | Meta Quest 2 |

The table follows the comparisons published by Road to VR and UploadVR.[2][3][1]
Processor, memory and storage
The Pico 4 runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 1, an eight-core 64-bit chip clocked at up to 2.84 GHz and built on a 7 nm process. It has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB or 256 GB of storage.[4] UploadVR noted that the business version uses LPDDR5 memory in place of the consumer model's LPDDR4.[18]
Tracking, passthrough and controllers
Four greyscale fisheye cameras on the front corners handle inside-out six degrees of freedom tracking. A separate RGB camera in the center of the visor provides color passthrough.[12] Road to VR listed this camera as 16 MP; UploadVR described it as a "5K" camera.[2][12] Pico's product page advertises "Colour See Through".[24] Because the view comes from a single camera, the passthrough is not depth-correct, and UploadVR found the distortion across the whole view uncomfortable during longer use.[1] Pico advertises "Sub-millimetre positioning accuracy" and "Millisecond tracking speed" for a system it describes as a proprietary omni-directional SLAM system combined with infrared optical positioning.[24]
The controllers track through infrared LEDs placed in an arc above the hand instead of a ring in front of it, as on the Quest 2 controllers.[3] Each controller runs on two AA batteries.[4] Pocket-lint gave their battery life as about 80 hours.[27] Pico markets them as "HyperSense vibration controllers".[24] UploadVR noted a dedicated screenshot button placed close to the menu button, and found the grip triggers soft.[1]
Audio, battery and connectivity
The headset has dual stereo speakers and dual microphones.[4] It has no 3.5 mm headphone jack; wired headphones need a USB-C adapter, or Bluetooth earbuds can be paired.[27] Wireless connectivity is Wi-Fi 6 (dual-band 2x2 MIMO) and Bluetooth 5.1.[4]
The 5,300 mAh battery supports 20 W fast charging over QC 3.0 or PD 3.0.[4] Road to VR gave the battery life as 2.5 to 3 hours.[2] Stuff measured a full recharge with the bundled power brick at almost two hours.[25]
Accessories
Pico's Motion Trackers add leg tracking to the Pico 4 as well as to the Pico 4 Ultra and Pico Neo 3. A pack of two trackers with leg straps costs £80 in the UK and €90 in Europe. Each tracker has an IMU and 12 infrared LEDs that the headset's cameras track; when a tracker is out of the cameras' view, a skeletal model estimates the leg pose from the IMU data. In September 2024 UploadVR reported that VRChat and Blade & Sorcery: Nomad would support them.[28]

Software and features
Operating system and store
The Pico 4 shipped with PICO OS 5.0, which is based on Android.[4][25] UploadVR found the system interface close to that of Meta's Quest headsets and "snappier", but missing touches such as haptic feedback on the virtual keyboard. During setup, the email address and password had to be typed with the tracked controllers used as laser pointers.[1] Pico's product page lists other PICO OS 5.0 features: a "Sports Centre" that uses Pico's CalSense algorithm to estimate calories burned during exercise, shared cinema viewing with avatars, mixed reality capture (MRC) recording, screencasting to phones, tablets, computers and TVs, and one-click sharing of the headset view to TikTok.[24]
Games and apps come from the Pico Store. MIXED counted about 230 titles at launch.[26] Road to VR listed launch-window titles including Peaky Blinders: The King's Ransom, Ultimechs, Demeo and The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, along with fitness apps such as Les Mills Body Combat.[2] Just Dance VR was announced as a 2023 exclusive through a partnership with Ubisoft.[12] In November 2023, after Pico had cancelled its own rhythm game Blitz Rhythm as part of wider layoffs, Ubisoft told UploadVR it was working with "a new partner for Just Dance VR".[29] The game, subtitled Welcome to Dancity, was released on 15 October 2024 for Meta Quest headsets instead.[30][31] UploadVR noted that popular multi-platform games such as Superhot VR and Arizona Sunshine were available, while Meta kept exclusives such as Beat Saber, Resident Evil 4 and Population: One.[1]
In February 2023 MIXED reported that Pico headsets, including the Pico 4, were fully compatible with the OpenXR standard.[32]
PC VR streaming
The Pico 4 can stream SteamVR games from a PC. At launch Pico's Streaming Assistant software handled this, either over Wi-Fi or through a USB 3 cable longer than the bundled charging cable.[25] UploadVR found the built-in streaming had more noticeable occasional stutters than Meta's Air Link, while the third-party Virtual Desktop app performed as well as on Quest.[1] In March 2024 Pico replaced Streaming Assistant with PICO Connect, which adds PC and Mac desktop streaming, improved SteamVR support and a "Super Resolution" feature.[33] In September 2025 Valve released an official version of Steam Link on the Pico Store for the Pico 4 Ultra, Pico 4 and Pico Neo 3 Link. It launches directly into SteamVR without extra PC software, but unlike Pico Connect and Virtual Desktop it did not forward hand tracking or body tracking to SteamVR on Pico headsets at launch.[8]
Hand tracking and later updates
Hand tracking was not available outside developer mode at launch.[1] Pico OS 5.7, released in August 2023, reduced hand tracking jitter, reduced head tracking jitter in dark and spacious scenes, and added system auto-update and vertical 9:16 video recording. UploadVR noted that hand tracking was still marked as experimental.[34] Version 5.8 in October 2023 fixed a cause of higher hand tracking latency, improved tracking of overlapping hands and made tracking more reliable for darker skin tones; UploadVR still found it behind the Quest 2 in latency and accuracy.[35] Version 5.9.0 in March 2024 cut latency when hands start moving and improved the pinch gesture.[33]
MIXED reported in November 2024 that PICO OS 5.12.0 for the Pico 4 and Pico 4 Ultra added phone screen mirroring and control through PICO Connect, Bluetooth keyboard and mouse support in the Home Space, video playback in see-through mode and faster hand tracking response.[36]
System update history
The table lists Pico 4 system updates covered by Pico or by the press; it is not a complete list of releases.
| Version | Date | Notable changes |
|---|---|---|
| PICO OS 5.0 | October 2022 | Shipped on the headset at launch[4] |

| 5.8 | October 2023 | Lower hand tracking latency, better tracking of overlapping hands and of darker skin tones[35] |
| 5.9.0 | March 2024 | PICO Connect replaces Streaming Assistant; lower hand tracking latency when hands start moving[33] |
| 5.12.0 | November 2024 | Phone screen mirroring, Bluetooth keyboard and mouse in the Home Space, see-through video playback[36] |
| V5.13.3.S | 9 July 2025 | Latest version listed for the Pico 4 on Pico's download page as of October 2026[7] |
Reception
Launch reviews compared the headset mainly with the Quest 2. UploadVR's David Heaney praised the lighter visor, sharper lenses and wider, taller field of view, and wrote that the Quest 2 "feels claustrophobic in comparison". He also found the display "dull and slightly washed out", saw frame drops in games such as Superhot VR that run smoothly on Quest 2, and noticed a slight jitter in the tracking of both the headset and the controllers. For people with an IPD below 62 mm, he wrote, "the nose-crushing was so uncomfortable I would actually describe it as a design flaw". He summed up the choice as "do you want ByteDance's superior hardware, or Meta's superior software tech & content library?"[1]
MIXED's Benjamin Danneberg found the colors "washed out and darker overall" than on Quest 2 and the higher resolution barely noticeable in practice. He called the controller tracking "exquisite" and wrote that Wi-Fi and cable streaming "work surprisingly well", but concluded that the headset had too many rough edges and that its mix of good and bad points "only results in mediocrity".[26]
TechRadar's Hamish Hector gave it four out of five stars. He liked the balanced weight and found it comfortable, but wrote that software issues made it "feel more like a work in progress than a fully polished product". He also listed the lack of a headphone jack among its drawbacks.[37] Pocket-lint scored it 4.5 out of 5, praising the fit, visuals and PC VR performance and criticizing the less refined software and missing titles.[27] Stuff gave it four out of five and wrote that Pico had "managed to leapfrog the Meta Quest 2 by a fair margin" on hardware, while Meta kept the advantage in exclusive software.[25]
PC Gamer's Katie Wickens scored it 90 out of 100 in May 2023. Her verdict called it "a supremely strong contender for the VR throne, with an impeccable performance to price ratio", though "its limited availability really holds it back". She also listed slight front weighting and some trouble with wireless streaming as drawbacks. At the time PC Gamer gave the UK price as £380 for the 128 GB model.[38]
Research
Pico's own researchers used the headset in published work on full-body tracking. In HMD-Poser, presented at the 2024 IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), Peng Dai and colleagues at Pico and ByteDance estimated full-body motion from a headset alone or combined with its controllers and a small number of body-worn inertial measurement units. To test the method on real hardware they recorded 74 free-dancing sequences from 8 subjects wearing a Pico 4 and two Pico motion trackers on the lower legs, with ground truth from an OptiTrack marker-based motion capture system. The model ran at 90.0 Hz on the Pico 4, and the authors reported only a small accuracy gap between running it on the headset and running it offline.[39]
