Alright, so check this out. Bigscreen just dropped this new thing — it’s like a super specific gadget for all you VRChat fanatics out there. It’s called the ‘VRChat Edition’ Beyond 2e headset. Yep, yet another cool toy for Virtual Reality. People who literally live in VRChat might find this interesting, I guess?
Bigscreen started sending out their Beyond 2 headsets not too long ago. The techy ones, Beyond 2 and the eye-tracking Beyond 2e, already hit the scene. Now, this special VRChat Edition is also gearing up for its debut, supposedly shipping around September 2025. Fingers crossed, right?
Now, specs. Jeez, tech specs can be wild, can’t they? Anyway — wait, nope, getting too technical here. It’s basically got the same stuff inside as the normal Beyond 2e: eye-tracking sensors, fancy micro-OLED screens… blah blah blah. Oh, and it’s got these new pancake lenses. Side note: I half expected them to be real pancakes. Wouldn’t that be something? The whole thing is, like, super light at 107g or something.
Okay, picture this — the thing comes with a see-through Atomic Purple shell. Makes me nostalgic for those old Game Boys. Serious throwback. And the box art? Hand-drawn stuff. Makes it feel a bit artsy.
Quick PSA: if you’re thinking about snagging one, your PC better be ready for it. None of this bargain basement nonsense; you’ll need a VR-ready PC. Plus, all the extras like SteamVR base stations and controllers. If you’re lost, Google if your PC is good enough for VR. Or just ask a friend. Easy peasy.
Oh, and for $1,269 — yeah, a bit more than the regular 2e — it includes some exclusive VRChat goodies, like stickers and badges. Maybe they’ll throw in more bonuses down the road. Just imagine getting a rare digital hat or something.
Now, if anyone’s already ordered the standard version and is having regrets because FOMO kicked in, you can actually upgrade to this shiny VRChat Edition. Just hit up Bigscreen support. They’re probably used to this by now.
In the meantime, there’s this hour-long chat out there somewhere with Bigscreen’s big boss Darshan Shankar and some VRChat community head honcho. If you want to dive deep into geek land, they yammer on about the headset upgrades and why eye-tracking matters in VRChat. Like, do people blink at each other in VR?
Yeah, this was a trip. I might need a nap now. Or coffee. Or both.
