Just yesterday, Bigscreen opened up orders for its eagerly awaited Beyond 2 PC VR headset, designed to enhance field-of-view and clarity with a cutting-edge pancake lens design. Fast forward about 10 hours from the launch, and the company is already celebrating a massive success. According to Bigscreen, Beyond 2 has outperformed the original Beyond headset by a substantial margin in a remarkably short time.
Bigscreen took to social media platform X to share its thrilling news with VR enthusiasts. “In just 25 minutes, Beyond 2 surpassed the first day’s sales of Beyond 1. Within an hour, sales had already doubled those of the original’s launch day,” they excitedly reported yesterday.
As the day unfolded, Bigscreen provided more insights into the sales performance, including details on the Beyond 2 and its eye-tracking sibling, the Beyond 2e. The latest figures are truly astonishing: “Within just ten hours of going live, Beyond 2 has sold more than the first four months of Beyond 1’s sales combined.”
The impressive sales might leave you wondering why Beyond 2 is attracting so much attention. Well, if you take a look at its offerings, it makes sense. Bigscreen’s upgrade path is straightforward and attractive. Owners of the original Beyond can upgrade at a discounted rate—$849 for the Beyond 2 and $1049 for the Beyond 2e. Plus, Beyond 2 maintains compatibility with most Beyond 1 accessories like the custom facial interface.
The new headset introduces a sleek pancake lens design, featuring a wider 116-degree diagonal field of view, adjustable IPD settings, and a lightweight build at just 107 grams. The Beyond 2e even integrates AI-powered eye-tracking, yet both models retain the same dual 1-inch 2,560 × 2,560 micro-OLED displays as their predecessor, offering improved clarity and field of view.
Beyond 2 and its eye-tracking variant are priced at $1,019 and $1,219, respectively, with discounts available for original Beyond owners. Alongside these innovations, Bigscreen also unveiled a new halo-style mount and a Lightblocker facial interface, anticipated for a Q3 2025 release.
For those eager to jump on the bandwagon, all these advancements can be explored and purchased directly on the Bigscreen website.
