Sure thing, let’s dive into this. So, there’s this new thing from Bigscreen, right? It’s the ‘VRChat Edition’ of their Beyond 2e VR headset. And honestly, it’s a whole shebang for folks obsessed—like, really into—VRChat. It’s like they want to live there. Anyway, they started shipping some units in the tail end of last month. There’s the regular Beyond 2 and then the 2e with eye-tracking magic. Don’t ask me about the tech details, they just sound cool.
Now, this new version’s supposed to be out by September 2025. Oops, did I just time travel? Whatever, the specs don’t look that different from the usual 2e. Eye-tracking, yes. And tiny OLED screens—how do they even fit those things in there? Mind blown. All in a thing that weighs like a bag of chips, 107 grams.
Oh, fun story: It’s got this translucent Atomic Purple shell. Remember those old Game Boys? Kind of like that, I think. Plus, there’s some serious artistic stuff with the packaging. Somebody hand-drew it, if that sort of thing excites anyone.
You’re gonna need a VR-ready computer to even play with this tech toy. Like, a PC that doesn’t choke on simple tasks. SteamVR bits, controllers, the works—gotta keep up with the cool kids, right?
There’s more, though. You buy this beauty, you get some VRChat swag in your digital handbasket. Stickers, badges—stuff to show off. And, rumor has it, they’ll sprinkle in some rare giveaways too, just to keep things spicy.
Shipping won’t happen until September, they say, but if you’ve already pre-ordered and suddenly wake up wanting this version instead—yes, you can switch. Magic customer support button press at [email protected] should sort you out.
Meanwhile, there’s this talk with Bigscreen’s head honcho Darshan Shankar and VRChat’s community guru Tupper. Probably lots of nerdy talk in there about why eye-tracking’s a thing and other smart VR details. Geek out if you must.
And that’s that. I mean, seriously, who knew headsets would get this fancy?
