Pico 4: Bytedance pays top dollar for VR ports 🤩

🔥 As the VR industry heats up, Bytedance is looking to take on Meta and is offering VR developers $15,000 to $25,000 per title to port their games to the underdog Pico 4 platform!

🎮 Pico 4 and the Meta Quest 2 share the same SoC and support the OpenXR standard, making porting titles easier. But will Bytedance be able to catch up in terms of exclusive titles?

🛡️ Meanwhile, Meta welcomes the investment, with its content ecosystem director, Chris Pruett, stating that "It’s a net positive for Meta that ByteDance has gotten into the VR market and is funding developers… I want all boats to rise.”

🙌 For some developers, the emergence of Bytedance as a new player is exciting. According to VR developer Ben Outram, "It’s definitely exciting to see a major player come into the market and to challenge the way that Facebook has been doing things.”

🤩 Despite the effort to expand, the Pico 4 still has yet to be released in the largest VR market, the United States. Will Bytedance manage to overcome these challenges and succeed in the VR industry?
