What VR works without a PC?

Here are the VR headsets that work without a PC (also called standalone VR):

🟢 Standalone VR Headsets (no PC, no console required)

These headsets have their own processor, storage, and battery. You just put them on and play.

  • Meta Quest 2 – Affordable, huge game library, very beginner-friendly.

  • Meta Quest 3 – Newer, more powerful, slimmer design, mixed reality features.

  • Meta Quest Pro – Premium build, better lenses, eye/face tracking (more for work & pros).

  • Pico 4 – Popular in Europe/Asia, strong hardware, similar to Quest.

  • HTC Vive XR Elite – Lightweight, modular design, supports mixed reality.

👉 These can all run games and apps on their own.

🟡 Bonus: Hybrid Option

Some standalone headsets can also connect to a PC for high-end VR gaming:

  • Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro → can link via cable or Wi-Fi to play SteamVR/PC games.

  • Pico 4 → also supports PC streaming.

So you get the best of both worlds: play standalone and connect to PC when you want higher graphics.

✅ Quick Answer:

  • If you want VR without a PC, go for Meta Quest 2, Quest 3, Pico 4, or Vive XR Elite.

  • They work fully on their own — no computer, no console needed.
