Hey, so guess what? Bigscreen just dropped a new twist on their Beyond 2e VR headset – a VRChat Edition! Yeah, it’s like specifically for folks who basically live on VRChat. The original Beyond 2 already started being shipped, like, last month. Fast forward a bit, and ta-da! We’ve got the VRChat Edition arriving by September 2025. Cool, right?
Alright, spec-wise, it’s kinda the same as the Beyond 2e. You’ve got eye-tracking, some neat 2,560 by 2,560 micro-OLED displays, and a 116-degree diagonal field of view. That’s all thanks to these fancy pancake lenses. Oh, and it barely weighs anything, at 107g. That’s light enough to forget it’s there! Wait, does that even make sense…?
And here’s the kicker – you can pre-order it for $1,269. Just 50 bucks more than the regular Beyond 2e. But this one? It rocks a see-through Atomic Purple shell and some hand-drawn art on the box. I mean, who doesn’t want their tech looking like something out of a comic book?
Heads up, tho – you need a VR-ready PC. Not just any dusty box under your desk, okay? Plus, SteamVR base stations, controllers – maybe those trackers if you want full-body motion in VRChat. Like, dancing like no one’s watching, except everyone is.
Plus, they’re tossing in these exclusive VRChat goodies – stickers, badges, the works. Bigscreen’s hinting at more stuff coming, like rare giveaways or something. Wonder what that’s all about.
Oh, oh, oh! If you wanna nerd out more, check out this chat between Bigscreen’s founder Darshan Shankar and VRChat’s community guy, Tupper. It’s an hour-long geek fest about, like, eye-tracking and why it even matters. Eye contact in VR? Maybe it’ll catch on.
So yeah, really worth keeping an eye on this one – no pun intended.
