Bigscreen Beyond 2’s First-Day Sales Exceed Months of Original Beyond 1 Sales

Yesterday, Bigscreen opened up orders for their eagerly anticipated Beyond 2 PC VR headset, promising a notable advancement in field-of-view and sharpness with its innovative pancake lens design. Within just 10 hours of going live, the company announced that the sales of Beyond 2 had already surpassed the figures of its predecessor, Beyond, by a substantial degree.

Bigscreen took to social media platform X, to share the remarkable reception of Beyond 2 among virtual reality enthusiasts. They proudly stated, “In just 25 minutes, Beyond 2 exceeded the first-day sales of Beyond 1. An hour into the launch, and we had already doubled Beyond 1’s launch day numbers.” Clearly, gamers were eager to get their hands on this latest VR marvel.

As the day unfolded, Bigscreen continued to update followers about Beyond 2’s performance and its variant, the Beyond 2e, and the news was astonishing. “Within 10 hours since its launch, Beyond 2 has outsold the initial four months of Beyond 1 sales,” they revealed, highlighting the incredible demand.

Accompanying this announcement is an image showing the sleek design of Beyond 2, underscoring its appeal to VR fans. Currently, Beyond 2 and Beyond 2e shipments are slated for June 2025, jumping ahead of the initially planned batches for April and May, indicating just how quickly the stocks were snapped up.

So what’s driving the excitement for Beyond 2? For those who want to dive deeper into its specifications, you can check out detailed information on Bigscreen’s website. Part of the allure may be the seamless upgrade option Bigscreen offers. Existing Beyond 1 users can benefit from a discounted rate—$849 for Beyond 2 and $1,049 for Beyond 2e—plus, most accessories from Beyond 1, including a crucial custom facial interface, remain compatible with the new model.

Beyond 2 boasts a fresh pancake lens design, offering an expansive 116-degree diagonal field-of-view, alongside an adjustable IPD mechanism, all packed into a lightweight 107g frame. For those interested in advanced features, the 2e version includes cutting-edge AI-powered eye-tracking. Despite these enhancements, the new models retain the dual 1-inch 2,560 × 2,560 micro-OLED displays that were a hallmark of the original Beyond, albeit with significantly improved clarity and field-of-view.

These new VR headsets are priced at $1,019 and $1,219 respectively, with discounts available for those upgrading from Beyond 1. An added bonus is a new halo-style mount and Lightblocker facial interface, anticipated for release in Q3 2025. For anyone eager to explore these new offerings, they are now up for grabs on the Bigscreen website.
