Bigscreen has officially launched orders for its highly anticipated Beyond 2 PC VR headset, boasting improved field-of-view and clarity thanks to the innovative pancake lens design. Within just 10 hours of going live, Beyond 2 has already surpassed the sales of the original Beyond headset by a significant margin. In a series of updates on X, Bigscreen shared the impressive sales performance of Beyond 2 among PC VR enthusiasts. "In the first 25 minutes alone, Beyond 2 outsold the entire first day of Beyond 1 sales. Within the first hour, we saw a doubling of Beyond 1 launch day sales," Bigscreen announced early yesterday. As the day progressed, more sales data on Beyond 2 and its eye-tracking variant, Beyond 2e, was revealed. The most recent statistic is particularly noteworthy. "Within just 10 hours of launch, Beyond 2 has exceeded the sales of the first four months of Beyond 1," the company reported.

What is driving the excitement for Beyond 2? While more details about Beyond 2 can be found here, the appeal may lie in the seamless upgrade path offered by Bigscreen. Beyond 1 users can purchase the new headsets at a discounted price—$849 for Beyond 2 and $1049 for Beyond 2e—and enjoy backward compatibility with most Beyond 1 accessories, including the custom facial interface required for Beyond 1. Beyond 2 features a new pancake lens design, providing a wider 116-degree diagonal FOV, an adjustable IPD mechanism, and a lighter 107g design. The 2e model includes AI-powered eye-tracking. Both models retain the dual 1-inch 2,560 × 2,560 micro-OLED displays of the original Beyond, but with improved clarity and FOV thanks to the new lenses. Beyond 2 and 2e are priced at $1,019 and $1,219 respectively (with discounts for Beyond 1 owners). The launch also introduced a new halo-style mount and Lightblocker facial interface, set to be released in Q3 2025. All these products are now available for purchase on the Bigscreen website.
