August 20 seems to only be the date for the China launch of Pico's next headset.

Last week Pico announced a product launch event for August 20, with social media posts strongly suggesting it being a new headset. But new social media posts today suggest this will only be the China launch event, with a launch elsewhere coming at a later date.

The post refers to the headset as Pico 4 Ultra, a name which was also seen recently in an image leaked on Chinese social media. But it's possible the headset might be named Pico 4S elsewhere. In March ByteDance trademarked "Pico 4S", and icons of ringless "4S" controllers were found in the Pico Connect PC VR streaming software.

That's perfect timing for me, I just got my hands on a Pico 4 last week. Well, I really hope they open sales to the American market to make buying one easier but I understand if they don't. I'll get one in a year or two regardless because I am loving the Pico 4 for SteamVR already. The experience is great, it was easy to get PCVR working, it doesn't hurt to wear for a few hours, the visuals are great. Sure, the price was a little more than a Meta set but I didn't have to create a Facebook account to use it which is worth the cost for me.
