Okay, so here’s the deal. Bigscreen just dropped something pretty cool: a VRChat Edition of their Beyond 2e VR headset. You ever get that feeling when something’s made just for you? Like, “Hey, you’re one of us.” That’s this. Anyway — or wait — was I supposed to mention the eye-tracking? Oh, whatever. Let’s digress a bit.
They already started shipping these headsets last month. There’s the Beyond 2, all basic-like, and then the Beyond 2e, which has this whole eye-tracking thing going on. Now, guess what? They’re bringing out a special version just for VRChat fanatics, coming around September 2025. Crazy, right?
Specs-wise, it’s kinda like the standard Beyond 2e. Got those nifty eye sensors, 2,560 × 2,560 micro-OLED screens (fancy, I know), and a 116° diagonal field of view. Sounds kind of sci-fi, if you ask me. Oh, and let’s not forget how light it is—just 107 grams. If that helps visualize it, it’s like, super light. Like holding a fluffy pancake, maybe?
Now, let me rant about the price: $1,269. That’s, like, $50 more, for those doing the math today. But, hold onto your sneakers because they’ve got this Atomic Purple shell. Translucent, mind you. Really takes me back to those old-school gadgets. And—wait for it—hand-drawn packaging art. Can’t say you see that every day. Personal touch. Love it.
Thinking of grabbing one? Just remember you’ll need a VR-ready PC, SteamVR base stations, controllers, whatever makes the whole setup dance. Otherwise, it’s just a pretty box on your desk. Ugh, technology, right?
And before I forget, they’re throwing in some VRChat digital goodies—stickers, badges. Yeah, we love those little extras, don’t we? They even teased rare giveaway drops or something. Keeps people perched at the edge of their seats, I suppose.
September’s the big moment when these beauties start shipping. But hey, if you already preordered the old version, just drop them an email and upgrade. Smooth, huh?
If you’re intrigued—and let’s face it, you kinda are—there’s a chat with Bigscreen’s CEO, Darshan Shankar, and VRChat’s community wizard, Tupper. It dives into their headset stuff and more. Eye-tracking in VRChat? Sounds like the next big thing. Or maybe not. Who knows these days?
