Bigscreen Beyond 2 Surpasses Original’s Monthly Sales on First Day

Just yesterday, Bigscreen kicked off pre-orders for its highly anticipated Beyond 2 PC VR headset. Packed with a fresh pancake lens design that enhances both clarity and field-of-view, this new model hit the ground running. The company joyously reported that within a mere 10 hours of going on sale, the Beyond 2 has already eclipsed the total sales of its predecessor, the original Beyond.

Bigscreen took to X to share exhilarating updates about Beyond 2’s soaring popularity among PC VR fans. “The response has been phenomenal,” they announced. “In just 25 minutes, Beyond 2 outpaced the first day sales of Beyond 1. And within the first hour, we saw sales double what we achieved on launch day for Beyond 1.” These milestones were only the beginning of the day’s achievements.

As the hours passed, Bigscreen revealed even more impressive figures, including the performance of the eye-tracking variant, Beyond 2e. The latest numbers were truly remarkable: “In only 10 hours since its launch, Beyond 2 managed to surpass what we sold in the first four months of Beyond 1’s release.”

Now, let’s talk availability. As of now, Beyond 2 and its counterpart Beyond 2e are slated to ship in June 2025, having swiftly sold out the initial batches that were originally scheduled for April and May.

So, what’s stirring all the excitement about Beyond 2? Though you can delve into all the specifics, including technical specs, the appeal might be the straightforward upgrade path Bigscreen offers. Existing Beyond 1 owners can snag the new model at reduced prices—$849 for Beyond 2 and $1049 for the advanced Beyond 2e. Additionally, there’s backward compatibility with most Beyond 1 accessories, such as the essential custom facial interface.

Beyond 2 also comes boasting a host of advancements—a novel pancake lens design with a wider 116-degree diagonal field-of-view, an adaptable IPD mechanism, and a notably light build at just 107 grams. The 2e version ups the ante with AI-driven eye-tracking. Beyond 2 keeps the stellar dual 1-inch 2,560 × 2,560 micro-OLED displays that fans loved, but with newer lenses that enhance clarity and field-of-view significantly.

Retailing at $1,019 for Beyond 2 and $1,219 for Beyond 2e—especially attractive for those with Beyond 1 seeking a companion—and launched alongside a new halo-style mount and Lightblocker facial interface set for Q3 2025 release, these headsets promise much. And yes, all this is available for purchase over at the Bigscreen website.
