VR maker Pico may not be as well-known as Meta in the West, but the company is taking the fight to the Quest 2 with the all-in-one Pico 4 VR headset. It has much improved hardware, including including pancake lenses and higher resolution than even the Quest Pro, along with an ergonomic design, PC VR capabilities and an affordable price.
This makes the fact that Pico is offering a whopping six games to anyone investing in the Pico 4 right now all the more tempting. The Pico 4 is already cheaper than the Quest 2, at £379.99 in the UK, but if you order the VR headset now you’ll also get the following games completely free:
- Les Mills Body Combat
- After the fall
- Ruin Mage
- All-in-one sports
- Ambulatory minigolf
- Banks of Loci
Much like Meta’s deal on the Quest 2 over the Black Friday weekend, the Pico Bundle is available through third-party retailers including Amazon and Very in the UK, as well as retailers in Denmark, France, Italy and Europe until tene from January 2023.

Those in the US are out of luck as the helmet has yet to reach US shores – but whispers suggest that could happen sooner rather than later.
Still, those in the UK and Europe are in for a treat, with the Pico 4 posing the only real threat to Meta’s wildly popular Quest 2. We praised the premium hardware, compact design, and speedy performance in our Pico 4 review, awarding the headset four stars and Tech Advisor’s recommended price.
It’s not the perfect competitor – some of the biggest VR titles are published by Meta and probably won’t be coming to the Pico 4 anytime soon – but the game library on the headset is constantly expanding. It will just take some time to catch up with Meta!
To see how the Pico 4 stacks up against the competition, take a look at our handpicked selection of the best VR headsets, and if you’re more tempted by Meta’s headset, we cover the latest Quest 2 deals separately.
