Man, Bigscreen is doing a thing again with their VR headsets. This new one? It’s called the ‘VRChat Edition’ of the Beyond 2e, and it’s supposedly for the hardcore VRChat peeps. You know, those folks who basically live in virtual spaces.
So, they started shipping the Beyond 2, like, not too long ago. Two flavors, standard and fancy eye-tracking Beyond 2e. And now, boom, they’ve got this special VRChat version. Yeah, live that VR dream. But you’ll have to wait until around, what was it, September 2025? Yeah, then it’s supposed to drop.
Specs-wise, it’s pretty much the same gig—eye-tracking, high-res displays (2,560 × 2,560 micro-OLED if you’re counting pixels), ridiculously light at just over 100 grams. Honestly, feels like holding a dream.
Oh, and for the collectors out there, now we’re talking a shiny translucent purple shell. Atomic Purple, sounds cool, right? And the box has hand-drawn art. Because, why not get artsy with your tech?
Heads up—not just any old PC will do. You need a VR-ready beast to handle Bigscreen tech. SteamVR base stations, controllers, maybe body trackers too, if that’s your jam in VRChat. Curious if you’re set? Better check your PC’s pulse.
If you pre-order, it’s $1,269. Sure, $50 more than standard but hey, you get VRChat goodies too. Stickers, badges—like dressing up your profile with bling. More stuff’s on the horizon, they hint. Rare giveaways? Maybe.
For those already in line for Beyond 2, good news—you can ask to upgrade to this shiny edition. Just gotta hit up support. They’re pretty chill about making the switch.
Oh, there’s a massive talk with the brains behind Bigscreen, Darshan Shankar, and VRChat’s community guy, Tupper. They talk shop about the headset, eye-tracking… not gonna lie, I spaced out a bit, but it seems insightful if you’re deep in the scene.
