In an exciting move that pushes the boundaries of virtual reality (VR) gaming, PICO has announced the integration of NVIDIA GeForce NOW, the leading cloud gaming platform, into all its headsets, including the latest PICO 4 Ultra. This new feature, which was revealed at CES 2025, will allow users to stream an extensive library of AAA games directly to their PICO headsets, providing an immersive big-screen experience without the need for a TV or a PC setup.
GeForce NOW is revolutionizing cloud gaming by offering a seamless experience that streams gameplay from GeForce RTX servers directly to devices via Wi-Fi 7. With the integration into PICO headsets, including the cutting-edge PICO 4 Ultra, gamers can access an array of top-tier games without any need for additional hardware. This integration is expected to roll out later in January 2025, making it possible for PICO headset owners to enjoy a wide range of games in stunning 1440p resolution.
The PICO 4 Ultra headset, equipped with the latest Wi-Fi 7 technology, will ensure ultra-smooth gameplay with reduced lag and minimal buffering, thanks to the ultra-low-latency optimization of GeForce NOW. For gamers who seek even better visuals, NVIDIA’s DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) technology will be available for supported games, delivering crisp, high-quality graphics on VR devices.
In addition to the cloud gaming integration, PICO headsets are fully compatible with a range of Bluetooth controllers, including those from Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and Razer. This means players can enjoy the latest cloud-streamed games using their preferred gaming accessories, making the experience even more immersive and enjoyable.
PICO’s partnership with NVIDIA not only enhances the gaming experience but also eliminates the need for powerful local hardware. By leveraging GeForce NOW’s powerful cloud servers, users can enjoy the highest-performance gaming rigs, delivering an incredible gaming experience on the go, with all the power of GeForce RTX gaming technology streamed directly to the PICO headsets.
The GeForce NOW app will be available for download on the PICO Store, offering a seamless way for users to access this cloud gaming service. PICO headset owners will have a variety of membership options to choose from, including Day Passes, and 1-month or 6-month plans. For those who want to unlock the best experience, there are also Performance and Ultimate memberships available. Performance members get priority access to GeForce RTX servers, along with DLSS and RTX ON for enhanced visuals, priced at $9.99 per month. Ultimate members, on the other hand, will enjoy the highest frame rates, lowest latency, and exclusive access to GeForce RTX 4080-powered servers, all for $19.99 per month.
Jessie Zhang, Head of Partnerships at PICO, emphasized that this collaboration reflects PICO’s commitment to expanding its content library and offering the best gaming experiences to its users. “By integrating GeForce NOW, we’re breaking down the hardware barriers that often limit gaming potential. This integration opens the door to an incredible array of games, making PICO headsets the perfect choice for anyone seeking immersive entertainment.”
With this new collaboration, PICO is setting the bar for the next generation of cloud gaming in VR.

This collaboration is setting a new standard for immersive, next-generation entertainment.”
